Rarebit and Speculoos biscuits

 We baked some speculoos biscuits fpr the first time on Friday and they were yummy.

 Gaby is a big fan of icing sugar, even in the morning for breakfast, she'll whip up a little bit of icing to go on biscuits, cookies or even with fruit...

 Charlotte adores nutella and if you leave her with a 750g jar, she'll finish it within 24 hours.

I bought yet another cookbook, this time, Hugh fearnley's Vegetable book, and I love it.  I'd never made a rarebit before, but for lunch on Friday, Alexis and I had some tomato ones for the first time and they were really good.  The bechamel sauce was amazing.

Nutella and a book and our old house

Charlotte 15(almost 16)  who adores shopping, loves eating but doesn't cook much anymore, nor does she pick up a book often has been making an effort this past week... she kind of baked (made) her nutella special that consists of smothering nutella all over bread, then pouring over a eggy mixture and then spooning even more nutella over the top and then popping it in the oven for 20 minutes.





I got a shot of the before photo, but alas not the after one as it was eaten fast.


Another thing that has happened this week, is that Charlotte has read a book that I chose for her from the local library, she actually read it all and liked it and that's made me curious enough to actually read this one myself, especially as Alain is away in Norway and I have a couple of hours of calm now the children are either snugged in bed or at least in their bedrooms.

Bonne nuit:)


I yes before I forget, the house we sold in September 2010 is on the market already, can you believe it, apparently, they use it as a holiday home and had hoped to rent it during the holiday season, but things haven't gone to plan, so they have it on the market and want to buy a studio instead in Sanary and a upgrade from their house near Paris to a bigger one in the same  area.
