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.

La Chandeleur..Feast Day of Light

Yesterday was La Chandeleur. My children wanted to see who could eat the most pancakes (French people eat more pancakes on this day than any other*). I should have bought a crepe pan, but I really needed a new frying pan. I love the Mauviel range of pans etc but I also like All Clad, however the latter is harder to find here and more expensive, so Mauviel it was.

I made a fattening discovery yesterday, " speculoos "spread, gosh this stuff is so good, I liked the biscuits before but the spread's even better. Weird, this more the jar is empty but there are pancakes left.

* I read that on another blog that I read, but don't really know if it's true or not.
