Like a Tuesday…

This morning while cleaning 🧹 I found these sock, toy helmet and water gun. Remind me of our grandchildren!

Nearly three weeks they left…

This is a gift of a hand embroidered table cloth that fitted exactly my round table.

I did some paper craft this morning tried but not satisfied 

This one I did last year

I did not remember  that I started this one.

Today I must finish my cooking , cook some zucchini for my Ratatouille and peppers 🫑 then add the tomatoes and cook the eggplants all with onions garlic and Provence mixed herbs. I will bake more chestnuts cookies to put in the freezer and then  relax ☺️.

Our daughter will be leaving by the end of the week, she and her husband are going to the Alps and do the Mount Blanc tour for 10 days and our son will fly for Monaco on a business trip ( but big flooding in the south of France and general strike ) and he should fly to Paris… I hope the planes and trains will work??

So, it is a bit stressing 😣 and as a mother  I will have to relax 🧘‍♀️!

Somebody asked asked asked me for the chestnuts  cookies recipe.

So here it is:

 115gr half salted butter 

80gr soft brown sugar

65gr white blond sugar cane

120gr wheat flour

60gr chestnuts flour

2gr baking soda

1egg

Pieces of cooked chestnuts. 

Cut butter into small pieces mix with the 2 sugars add eggs and 2 flours until smooth ( I used a food processor)

Divide into 8 balls ( I did 10)

Put them on a baking tray covered tray covered with a baking sheet. Insert chestnut pieces into the balls. 

Bake for about 10 minutes oven 180 degrees Celsius ( electric oven)

Enjoy 😊!
