And from one health food lover to another, I totally get why the almond flour and coconut oil availability would cause drama as I cannot live without either of those haha!!😁😬
Right?! People who don't cook with almond flour and coconut oil simply cannot understand the specific grief of losing them as pantry staples 😄 I've made my peace with some of the adjustments but I will not pretend that particular one was easy. The good news is that French butter exists and it has done a lot of healing work ☺️
As someone who’s hoping to one day move to France too, this was both entertaining and bracing haha. I appreciate enormously the fact that you articulated your struggles rather than painting a super idyllic picture of how life there is, which is what I’ve read again and again. Bon chance for everything you do!🙌
Thank you for this, Diana. Truly. I made a conscious decision early on to tell the whole story because I think the Pinterest version of expat life does people a disservice. It's genuinely beautiful here and also genuinely hard, often on the same day, sometimes in the same hour 😄 If you ever do make the move, go in knowing it will be both and you'll be so much better equipped than I was. Rooting for you! 🙌
