C is for Coffee
And T is for tea. I recently made this exciting linguistic discovery: in French, caffeine is only found in coffee - cafe, that is. Tea (the) does not contain caffeine, but... theine!
How cool is that?

I'm an American woman who suddenly found herself living in Paris and found it a difficult city to love. I now commute between my French husband in Paris and my academic job in Cathedral Town, UK (admittedly, a contradiction in terms). I blog mostly about food, restaurants, French culture and my own Parisian faux pas. Read my first post, archived under January 2009, for more details. Become a blog follower to get updates when I write a new post!
