E-mails in French House

To understand most of the e-mails sent to the French House mailing list, there are three things you need to know:

1) Right outside our kitchen, there is a "sacrificial table" - "sac tab" for short. Any item placed on the sac tab is automatically up for grabs. This is usually food, but in the past I have acquired both a pair of jeans and a Snuggie -- you never know what you'll find!

2) When you bake something for the house, you have to send an e-mail letting everyone know, to give residents an equal chance of partaking before it runs out. 

3) When you send an e-mail, you're encouraged to write the body in both English and French. 

 

Now, you are equipped to understand the flurry of e-mails I have received over the past four days. They provide excellent insight into life here.
