Chicken Breasts with Lemon and Capers; paperwork

Lemon and capers were just meant to be together. Sometimes I add black or green olives, sometimes feta cheese, sometimes not.

I’ve added lemon and capers to pork and lamb and salmon and meatballs. I’ve never tried them with a grilled steak, but summer is coming.

It’s a quick skillet sauce requiring very little work.

Lemon is the only fruit I like in savory dishes…. and I really, really like it.

Someday I might even have the chance of tasting the famous Meyer lemon.

Maybe.

Time flies – or so they say (whoever ‘they’ are).

It’s time to renew our residency here in France.

This will be the 5th or 8th time (I’ve lost track) that we’ve done this. The last time was 10 years ago. Before that we had to do it every year.

Once again we need certified translations done of our birth certificates and marriage license, as well as documents supporting our income, the fact that we own our house and actually live here, that we pay taxes, and we are enrolled in the health care system.

I think I have it all organized, in the correct order, with photos, copies and envelopes as needed.

I spent a month trying to make the appointment to do all of this. The instructions were to make the appointment online. I finally sent them an email requesting an appointment.

I was told that I couldn’t get an appointment until I submitted all the documents.

They’re going in the mail tomorrow. Then we wait.

I’m exhausted…..
