Autumn cooking day.

Hello Friends !

Today is cooking day.

I am using onions from Brittany ( from the town of Roscoff)  they are very sweet and tasty and very special!

I only find them at Lidl. I have spent vacations in Roscoff 

And we went to the museum of the Johnnies.

The Johnnies were men from this town who took the ferry (Brittany Ferries) from Roscoff to England their bikes loaded with onions.🧅 from Roscoff to Plymouth where they use to sell their onions.

This morning I used my Romertopf to cook chicken with onions and Brandy. There is no alcohol when it cooks only a very good taste!

I added braised endives.

This is the finished pie, chicken, onions, braised endives and Brandy 🥃 

 These are my special onions!

Today, we will have another storm and thunder, I think now we must get used to that kind of weather.

It will be a rainy week, but never mind plenty of to do inside!

Have a good week and thank you for visiting.

Hello Septembre !

I am glad to be in September, because the temperature is much better for me ( i don’t like heat) finish the cold ssalads… it’s time to cook winter dishes!

In my monthly magazine I find a recipe of chestnut 🌰 cookies. This morning I drove to the supermarket to get chestnut flour ( gluten free) I am not gluten free free but I also use rice flour which is a very light flour for baking cookies.

This afternoon I have to cook «  ratatouille » with my new Greek olive oil.

Cooking apple compote

Macaroni cheese

Apple pie

During our son’s stay, he ordered all the Hercules Poirot collection and every evening we watched two of them with him.

Yesterday afternoon I worked on this watercolour I will finish working on it this evening. ( from the book in my previous post)

Today, the French children are going back to school !

I am  having a little rest, before cooking my « Ratatouille »! Another patient gave my husband some vegetables from his garden! 

Hope you’ll have a very nice September !

A new day, a new week!

 I am trying to improve my health condition to be able to visit my son , daughter in law and Maxime.

I am training on my trade mill and keep busy.

I should go beginning of December but depends on my health. My husband filled the papers for the  handicap card. Last time I travelled I had assistance with a wheelchair and I was very glad to have help.

Better travel with help than stay home!

I will do my best!

Have a good day!

And some carrot and cumin soup.

 

Today I received the picture of a future artist 🧑‍🎨!

I begin to feel better , but I need to rest a lot in the morning and do some work in the afternoon.

These are the news at the beginning of the year!

Batch cooking day.

 Hello Friends,

Do you know batch cooking?

The youngsters  use it because they are in a hurry, work, children...

I am doing it now, because I am getting old and not in good health

So when I am tired the menu for the week is already done!

On Saturday we did our fruit and vegetable shopping and today I will order the rest from a big store and have my shopping delivered the next day.

I cooked cauliflower for a gratin, I prepared new potatoes from the island of Re a rice pudding with rhum apple and rhubarb tart the two yogurt makers are on making yogurt for the week.

Fresh beans are in the steamer.I crocheted a cover for the yogurt makers to keep them warmer and then goes one hour quicker.

I will continue to prepare fish and some chicken and the everything will be ready and I can do some drawing this afternoon.

I wish you a lovely week!

Before the storm we will have this afternoon!
