quick post about week-end

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.

Petit sejour a Trou d'Eau Douce
B. is away visiting a friend tonight & I am on my own... but I must admit actually that I quite enjoy being by myself sometimes. B. insisted that I invite a friend, but I didn't feel like it. I rather felt like having a relaxed evening, baking some cantucci, watering my veg garden, exercising a lil & watching a fleur bleu movie with a plateau tele made of a risotto au fromage blanc & potiron, with a side salad of rocket from the garden, & a cantucci for dessert. Now with all this food I think I've eaten too much & am now drinking an ayapana herbal tea to digest before going to bed!
I wanted to share some photos of the family' week-end in Trou d'Eau Douce. My uncle J. & his family were here for a short holiday & so we spent a few days with them, enjoying the reunion, the sea & wind for B.'s kitesurf, the nice walks on the beach, the swimming, the reading... & the long meals of course {despite the fact that every meal was taken 3 hours late & was an opportunity for the aunties to argue about trivial subjects!}
There're some more pix & recipes to come soon, till then patience & thanks for reading!

Boulangere en herbe
The rain's pouring since 3 days & makes this afternoon seem like already dark. Alone in the house, a cupa calling me... & my macbook too, i'm now sitting at the kitchen counter ready to share a few photos & inspiration.
Actually before each period of productivity, there is one of procrastination. But the fact is, that behind this apparent procrastination there is a pondering, a buzz preparing to emerge that will lead me into creation or just motivation to get things done!
So lately there has been a lot of things on my list done. These last days have been filled with work. So much that my head feels dizzy just thinking of it. Besides the usual cleaning & tidying & cooking, there has been painting floors & bits of walls, gardening & transplanting my growing rocket, learning to use a tiny bit of photoshop, doing the accountancy for B.'s business, filling loads of administrative forms, preparing the guest'bedroom for our friends arriving from Switzerland Monday morning, cuddling Ticoulou the most sweet, gorgeous, funny kitten I ever had...
So not much time & energy left for trying recipes & styling... except for some baking done. Banana & honey bread, focaccia with blue cheese, light farm bread...
La Boulangere
Banana & honey bread
No recipe today {coming next...}, just photos to drool over!
