Well another week-end went by & here I am, faithful to my Monday'post. For once it was a sociable week-end as we've been out on both nights to some nice dinner-party & evening, with some fun & interesting people. So we allowed ourselves to spend the days on a slow mode, enjoying simple things such as cooking & eating, baking (must I still mention it?), working in the garden, taking naps, watching DVDs, having love-filled talks... A harmonious one, where everything seemed to fall into place so naturally &... [Lire la suite]

Yesterday was a lazy Saturday. With a weather fluctuating from windy, rainy & sunny every 5 minutes, I just couldn't decide which mood I should be in. So I decided to spend the day mainly in the couch, reading, taking naps, & eating {which of course involved a bit of cooking!} Today was another story. Sunny. Clear day. Fresh air. Mild temperature. Just the perfect day for a family picnic under a big tree in the garden. And so everybody contributed to the lunch. Sandwiches, a delicious quiche au bacon {I need your... [Lire la suite]

It's starting to become an habit. Every saturday I get out of bed around six. I just can't get more sleep. It's like the day is calling me. The kitchen too. Or the blog. So here I am. With my cannelloni recipe from last Saturday. Une petite création matinale un samedi matin a 6hr30 alors que l'appel de ma cuisine se faisait sentir. Oui je sais, parfois je me demande aussi si ça ne va pas trop loin.L'envie de faire des pâtes fraîches. Avec de la farine blanche, de riz complet & de quinoa. Pétrie dans la machine a pain...

  Petit diner avec P & K samedi soir I'll ask you to please bear with me. I have so much to share with you. So many photos of lil things that inspire, also called beauty, of people in our lives. So many recipes tested/created those last days. But I'll be quick this morning, just posting photos of our week-end {before it gets too late}. And I'll come back during the week to give you a few recipes. Apero du dimanche... dejeuner familial du dimanche

To start with I've got a great news... Ticoulou's back!! Helas since Sunday morning {when we left for a day on a boat with a few friends} no news of him. So today was the 3rd day without our lil kitty & I thought there was now not much hope left to see her come back. And must I say that I was grumpy & moody all day? Well yeah. Our house felt lonely without her. Our couch felt empty. But... while cleaning the house this afternoon, I heard a meow from outside. At first it was a faraway & shy one. Then it came closer. So...

As I was saying earlier, yesterday was my mom's birthday & we were glad to host her dinner'party at our place. Even grand-pere & grand-mere made it. G-m brought a vanilla & honey roasted duck, which we served with a gratin dauphinois au lait de coco & a watercress salad. B. contributed with a new recipe: a pestonade! A kind of mix between a pesto & a tapenade using olives, sun-dried tomatoes, pistachios, rocket, parmegiano, garlic, thyme, olive oil... I'll let your imagination go with that! He also created an...
