Wilkomen, Bienvenue, Welcome

If you are reading this, you already know me, but for those friends of a friend, and anyone who has stumbled upon this: my name is Tina and I am so glad you are here.

So, a little about me: I was born and raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (this is the “Pecans” part of the blog title). And I am currently living in Bordeaux, France (enter “Pomerol,” stage left).

Living in France has been a dream of mine for many years. But it wasn’t until COVID when I had the opportunity to work remotely from France for a few months, and the push to really evaluate what I wanted in my life, that that dream became a reality.

This blog is my exercise in documenting (and thus savoring) this experience and sharing it with friends and family. I expect that the majority of posts will be about food and wine (#knowthyself) - but interspersed with the odd, the elegant and all the things that catch my eye.

Bienvenue!

Tina
