Grumpy Frenchman

Once again not much to say about the Monday itself, except that despite Kim’s rather accurate program for the evening we managed to keep the argument to a minimum, AND Sean stayed awake for all of Dr Who! How’s that for a splendid effort, mmh?
Never mind, pretty private joke I suppose. The menu that night […]

One week and bits late, I know, but hey, it’s not like anyone’s reading. So, last week’s dinner - not much to report, just the usual fun.
Layered glasses (verrines)
For this one I managed to not find, forget to buy, or decide to pass on practically every ingredient in the actual recipe, apart from the salmon. […]

Well, that was another weird one and no mistake…
Before I write down the dream itself, let me take a minute to discuss the series Torchwood.
It’s crap. It really is. Acting is pretty much lousy from everyone except Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones), special mention to John Barrowman for some of the most dire emotional sequences in recent […]

Ahooga! Ahooga!
 
Don’t mind me. I just arrived at work after spending about an hour with Mr Daddy Lightholder, and upon seeing that I was zoning out a bit - one of those days - he gave me a vitamin B12 pill. These babies seem to work wonders with him and his wife as […]

Yep, it’s (past) that day again, and I shall give you a report on that fine evening, o you my inexistant readers!
So this was the fourth week, and I’m glad to report we’re all still happy with doing it: I’m still having ridiculous fun cooking to French music, and my Yanks enjoy the food and […]

It’s been a while since I posted anything that didn’t have anything to do with food. Been quite busy, also a bit off centre; and also the fact that not even the people who encouraged me to write this thing even bother reading it anymore isn’t encouraging much activity. Not necessarily their fault - if […]

Monday has come and gone, and once again there was much merriment and enjoyment of the foodage. This time I didn’t forget my camera - although whatever skill I may have once had at taking pictures was obviously left behind in the kitchen with the dirty pots and pans!
One thing I have to say about this […]

And as promised this is the menu from our first Monday night dinner, 19th of May.
Starting off with some “Pirogues de concombres au saumon fumé“. These I was particularly happy with - they were delicious, fun to make, and a minimum of work even made them kinda pretty to look at. Hey, it was the […]
