![]() Makes me want to say "Hey, Lebovitz, man up! If you don't want your employee spending so much time cleaning (or painting) your flat, tell her to scram, fire her, or tell her to work faster because she annoys you! It's your house." It gives me great pleasure just knowing that the fearless and very forward Jordan Ferney is there to restore America's aggressive reputation (200 years of which reputation was almost entirely destroyed by Lebovitz's single book). While she cleans, he leaves, but is irritated by how long it takes her because he can't stand to be there at the same time. ![]() He has a French woman who cleans his house. Annoyed by a painter who is taking so long to paint his apartment, his passive aggressive ways lead him to asking friends for advice, who tell him to simply put the painter's supplies outside and let him get the hint, which advice he happily and weakly follows. He makes it sound like they are all out to get him, to run him over while driving through the roundabout, but it's easy enough to see that he really should be eating more beef and less sugar. Although he loves the men in Paris and how they dress, he is mortally afraid of the women, old or young, and of bumping into anyone on the sidewalk, on the bus, or waiting in a queue. I willing to bet his food is delicious and dangerous.īut let's get down to the real point here: he needs to grow some aggression. He likes things like creme and milk and butter and sugar. I didn't read his recipes-they're not why I read the book in the first place-which made the book that much faster to read. Lebovitz has such an interesting way of describing his view of the Parisians. Not my kind of book to begin with, but it was interesting enough for me to finish.
