(Our singer got sick just one week before and we didn't know whether he'd be able to make it and in the end, just by magic everything got back to normal).</p><p style="text-align: center;">So, yes I'm pretty sure we'll do it again!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here is video of the table. I made this video a few hours before the event and you can hear me sing "La vie en rose" setting the tone of the evening.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Aquí tenéis unas fotos y videos de la cena teátrica "La Vie en Rose".</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">A la gente le gusto mucho y nosotros hemos disfrutado mucho preparando a pesar de varios contratiempos (el cantante se puso enfermo una semana antes del evento y no sabíamos si iba a poder participar y al final, como por magia, todo volvió a la normalidad).</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Así que estoy segura que vamos a repetir este evento!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Aquí os pongo un video de la mesa que hice unas horas antes del evento.

And after a quiet and peaceful Christmas in the times of coronavirus, I felt like coming back to the blog. May be, I wanted to hold on to the festive spirit longer, although, this year, the word "festive" might be a bit excessive.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Yet, as usual, I decorated our cozy Andalusian kitchen with bright oranges and this year, made a garland with red chili pepper and rinds of oven dried pomelo. Our friend José Luis had brought us a carload of his delicious yellow pomelos from his garden and a few of them were sacrificed for the sake of garland making.</p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Cela fait longtemps, des siècles en fait. Après un Noël calme et tranquille au temps du coronavirus, j'ai eu envie de revenir sur le blog.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cordoba is definitely one of my favorites cities here in Andalusia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luminous, so pretty in almost every angle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And above all, its people. It's the second time, I visit Cordoba and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always charmed and surprised by the extreme kindness and good spirits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of its inhabitants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Cordoue est l'une de mes villes préférées ici en Andalousie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Lumineuse, tellement jolie sous presque tous les angles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Et par dessus-tout, c'est les gens que j'aime. C'est la deuxième</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">fois que je visite Cordoue et je suis toujours charmée et surprise par</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">l'extrême gentillesse et la bonne humeur de ses habitants.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you go to Cordoba in winter, you'll find yourself chasing the sun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like we did, sometimes with luck, sometimes not. I even told José</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(above)..oh my God, this is worse than Paris, when it's sunny and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyone wants to sit on the terrace!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You want to be in the sun because in winter, the narrow streets are verrry cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In summer, it's a delight to wander</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through those streets but in winter, it's another thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Si vous allez à Cordoue en hiver, vous risquez comme nous de faire la chasse</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">au soleil, avec plus ou moins de chance. J'ai même dit à José</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">(ci-dessus)...non mais c'est dingue, c'est pire qu'à Paris quand il fait beau,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">tout le monde se rue en terrasse !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">En janvier, vous aurez envie d'être au soleil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">car il fait très froid et humide dans les ruelles étroites. En été, c'est un</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">plaisir de se balader dans les petites rues mais en hiver, brrrr...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We now have a different approach when we visit a city. If we can go back, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we only see 1 or 2 sites at a time to avoid being oversaturated,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"touristingly" speaking. So this time, we didn't go inside the mezquita-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cathedral, also because there was a huge queue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the we discovered a little gem of a museum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A collection of paintings by Cordobese artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Romero_de_Torres">Julio Romero de las Torres</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was quite mesmerized by his series of portraits. Especially the ones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of women. I felt like seeing the same dark haired mysterious woman, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
painted in different attires, against different backgrounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Nous avons maintenant une approche différente quand on visite une ville.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Si on peut y retourner, on voit 1 ou 2 endroits à la fois, pour éviter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">la sursaturation touristiquement parlant. Cette fois-ci nous ne sommes pas</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">allés à l'intérieur de la mosquée-cathédrale, car aussi il y avait une file</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">d'attente énooorme. Mais nous avons découvert un amour de petit musée.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Celui du peintre cordouan <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Romero_de_Torres">Julio Romero de las Torres</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">J'étais fascinée par sa série de portraits. Surtout ses portraits de femme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">J'avais l'impression de voir toujours la même femme brune, peinte dans</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">des costumes et sur des fonds différents.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the prettiest places we went for lunch and which I highly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recommend you if you visit Cordoba is El Patio de Maria,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tucked in a little street off the Juderia district.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolutely charming, good food and lovely staff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sat outside even if it was a bit chilly and one of the waiters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
immediately brought up an old gas heater which seemed to date back </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the 70s...So cute and so efficient...After a few minutes, we both took</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our coats off and enjoyed our lunch of grilled gambas and salmon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">L'un des plus jolis endroits où nous avons déjeuné et que je vous </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">recommande vivement si vous allez à Cordoue est El Patio de Maria.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Niché au coeur d'une petite rue calme du quartier de la Juderia, ce restaurant</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">est absolument charmant. On y a bien mangé et le personnel était</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">vraiment aux petits soins. On s'est assis dehors même s'il faisait un peu</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">frisquet et l'un des serveurs est venu placer à côté de notre table, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">un vieux poêle à gaz qui semblait dater des années 70...mais super mignon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">et très efficace...Au bout de quelques minutes, on a enlevé nos manteaux</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">pour se jeter sur les gambas grillées et un plat de saumon.</span></div>

I loved the buffet at the entrance of the restaurant, filled with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
traditional Spanish plates, may be from <a href="https://lacartujadesevilla.com/es/content/35-la-vajilla-imaginaria">La Cartuja de Sevilla</a>?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">J'ai craqué devant le buffet à l'entrée du restaurant, avec sa vaisselle</span></div>

The view from our room at Hotel San Miguel. I loved waking up </div>

seeing the balconies and the weathervane facing our room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A small bottle of cava (the Spanish version of champagne) awaited us</div>

in the fridge, so we toasted happily to the new year under the blue sky</div>

of Cordoba.</div>

You might have noticed that on the pic above, I'm wearing this blue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
scarf, as a skirt. (I just wrapped it around my waist and then put on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a belt). And it also doubled as a nice tablecloth in our room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sums up pretty much one of my mottoes for 2019...2 in 1!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Les Açores : une chaîne de volcans qui s’élève sur le
bord extrême de l’Europe. Je marchais depuis le petit jour – dans les jardins
où l’œil aperçoit les fleurs d’un monde nouveau, par les champs qui sont enclos
de murs de lave sombre, et parmi la haute forêt de lauriers. J’attendis que le
soleil fût déjà haut dans le ciel pour redescendre vers le port. Les rues s’étendaient
silencieuses dans la lumière de midi : dans le lointain seulement j’entendais
un appel plein de gaîté, souvent répété, et la fantaisie me prit d’aller vers
lui. Bientôt je vis un homme en guenilles, qui portait une charge de poissons
déjà tout inertes par les hauts et les bas des ruelles étroites et endormies,
qu’ombrageait de-ci de-là un dragonnier ou un araucaria. Je m’approchais de lui
par derrière sans qu’il me vît, et pris plaisir à écouter son magnifique et musical
appel. Il criait un mot portugais qui m’était inconnu, peut-être le nom des
poissons qu’il portait. Mais il me semblait qu’il ajoutait à ce mot quelque
chose qu’il disait tout bas ; aussi me rapprochai-je encore, marchant si
près de lui que j’étais comme son ombre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">En effet je l’entendais à présent, dès qu’il avait fini de
lancer son appel sonore, grogner encore un chuchotement quelque chose qui était
peut-être une oraison affamée ou un juron plein de lassitude. Car personne ne
sortait des maisons et aucune fenêtre ne s’ouvrait. Nous allâmes ainsi
longtemps par les ruelles brûlantes, pour offrir des poissons dont nul n’a
besoin à midi. Et longtemps j’écoutai ses deux voix, celle qui résonnait au
loin, engageante, exubérante, et l’autre, le monologue furtif et désespéré. Je
le suivis ainsi, plein d’une avide curiosité, car je sentais bien qu’il n’était
plus question ici de poissons et que ce que j’entendais sur cette île perdue, c’était
le chant de l’homme – cette chanson qui tout ensemble éclate avec orgueil et
supplie bien bas.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Azores: a string of volcanoes which rises on the extreme
side of Europe. I had been walking since the early hours – in gardens where the
eye sees flowers from a new world, across fields surrounded by walls of dark lava, and
inside a forest of tall laurel trees. I waited until the sun was high up in the
sky before walking down to the port. The silent streets stretched in the midday
light : only in the distance I could hear a call full of joyfulness, often
repeated and I fancied following that voice. Soon, I saw a man dressed in rags who
was carrying a load of fish, already inert, up and down the narrow and sleepy
streets, with now and then the shade of a dragron tree or an araucaria. I
came close to him, walking in his back without him noticing me and I took
pleasure in listening to his magnificent and musical call. <span lang="ES">He was shouting some word in Portuguese which was
unknown to me, may be it was the name of some fish he was carrying. </span>But it
seemed to me, he then added another word very softly in a whisper; hence I came
closer, walking so close to him as if his shadow.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES"><span style="font-size: large;">And I could hear it now, he called in a loud voice and then whispered something which sounded like a hungry wail or a curse filled with weariness. As no one came out of the houses and not a single window opened. We wandered like this for a long time through the narrow streets under the scorching heat, to offer fish that no one wanted at noon. For hours, I listened to both of his voices, the one that resonated from afar, engaging, exuberant and the other one, the furtive and desperate monologue. I followed him, pushed by some avid curiosity because I felt it was no more a matter of fish here and what I heard on this lost island was the song of man - a song which bursts with pride and humbly begs at the same time. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES"><span style="font-size: large;">Las Azores: una
cadena de volcanes que se alza en el borde extremo de Europa. Estaba caminando
desde el amanecer – en unos jardines donde se puede ver flores de un mundo
nuevo, a través de campos rodeados de paredes de lava oscura y dentro de un
bosque de laureles altos. Espere que el sol llegue en su cenit para bajar de
nuevo hacia el puerto. Las calles se estiraban en silencio bajo la luz del mediodía:
en la lejanía solo se escuchaba un grito lleno de alegría, repetido con frecuencia y me hizo ilusión caminar
hacia a esta voz. Pronto vi un hombre en harapos que llevaba una carga de
pescados, ya inertes, por arriba y debajo de las callejuelas estrechas y
dormidas, en la sombra de aquí y de allá de un drago o de una araucaria. Me
acerque a él por detrás sin que me vea y me deleite escuchando su grito magnifico
y musical. Gritaba una palabra en portugués que no conocía, talvez era el
nombre de unos de los pescados que llevaba. Pero también me parecía que decía algo
más en voz baja; así que me acerque más, pegándome a él como si fuera su
sombra.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES"><span style="font-size: large;">De hecho, podía
escucharlo ahora. Lanzaba su grito sonoro y luego gruñía un susurro que quizás era
una oración hambrienta o una palabrota llena de cansancio. Porque nadie salía de las casas, ni una
ventana se abría. Caminamos así durante horas por los callejones ardientes, para
ofrecer pescados que nadie quería al mediodía.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES"><span style="font-size: large;">Escuche sus dos
voces por mucho tiempo, la voz que resonaba en la distancia, envolvente,
exuberante y la otra voz, este monologo furtivo y desesperado. Lo seguí así,
con ávido interés y sentí que ya no era cuestión de pescados aquí pero lo que oía
en esta isla perdida, era el canto del hombre – este canto que estalla con
orgullo y suplica humildemente al mismo tiempo. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Until now, I never took the time to explore the city. I only passed by to take</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a flight at the airport, which is totally wrong as Malaga has so much to offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
José took me to the Glass Museum located in a gorgeous 18th century house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's quite a hidden place away from the touristic zone but this is just what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes it so charming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je viens juste de passer quelques jours à Malaga que j'ai en fait redécouverte.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Jusqu'à présent, je n'ai jamais pris le temps d'explorer la ville. J'y passais</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">juste pour prendre un vol à l'aéroport et c'est une erreur car Malaga a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">tellement à offrir. José m'a emmenée au Musée du verre situé dans</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">une magnifique demeure du XVIIIème siècle. Le musée est un peu caché, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">à l'écart du circuit touristique mais c'est justement ce qui fait tout son charme.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a private house so when you visit, you cannot freely wander through the museum</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you must stay with the guide but you're welcome to take all the pics you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say our guide in Spanish, Maeva was so interesting to listen to as she</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
explained the change of aesthetics and production throughout last century. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The owner of the museum gathered an impressive collection of glass from major</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
designers and manufacturers, Gallé, Lalique, Alvar Aalto...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Le musée est une maison privée donc on ne peut pas circuler librement dans </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">toutes les pièces et l'on doit rester en compagnie du guide, mais vous pouvez</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">prendre toutes les photos que vous voulez. Je dois dire que notre guide en espagnol,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> Maeva était très intéressante. Passionnée par son sujet. Elle nous a expliqué</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">les changements esthétiques et de production au cours du siècle dernier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Le propriétaire du musée a accumulé une collection impressionnante de</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">pièces en verre et cristal, de créateurs et fabriques réputés, Gallé, Lalique, Alvar Aalto...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But as you will notice, I didn't took many pics of the collection as I was mostly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enamoured with the house and its lush and quiet Andalusian atmosphere. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I live in Andalusia, I believe a house isn't complete </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without a patio, this hybrid space which is both indoors and outdoors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Comme vous le remarquerez, je n'ai pas pris beaucoup de photos de pièces</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">de la collection car j'étais plutôt fascinée par la maison et son atmosphère</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">andalouse, calme et délicieusement baroque.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Depuis que j'habite en Andalousie, je pense vraiment qu'une maison</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">n'est pas complète sans patio, cet espace hybride à la fois</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">intérieur et extérieur. </span></div>

This Christmas, I had the pleasure to rediscover the charming Loire valley</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and more specifically one of its Renaissance châteaux, Azay-le-Rideau which </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was so dear to French writer Balzac. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since a few years, the Loire châteaux celebrate Christmas with a special</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
theme and my sister took me to Azay-le-Rideau which this year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
featured a "Gourmandises" theme. Impossible to resist!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">À Noël, j'ai eu le plaisir de redécouvrir la charmante vallée de la Loire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">et plus spécialement le château d'Azay-le-Rideau, qui était si cher à Balzac.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Depuis quelques années, les châteaux de la Loire célèbrent Noël sur un</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">thème particulier. Ma soeur m'a emmenée à Azay-le-Rideau </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">qui, cette année avait choisi le thème de la gourmandise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Impossible de résister !</span></div>

It's been a while I wanted to write a post about my idea of traveling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More and more I enjoy the very short trips, two hours or four hours away from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
home. It's also because we have so much variety here in the south of Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being between the sea and the mountains is a privilege I truly cherish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Cela fait longtemps que je voulais écrire un billet sur mon idée du voyage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">De plus en plus, j'aime faire des sauts de puce, à deux heures ou quatre heures </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">de chez moi. La variété des paysages ici au sud de l'Espagne y fait aussi pour beaucoup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Être entre la mer et la montagne est un privilège que j'apprécie énormément.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel as excited to go camping for a weekend on the tropical coast than taking</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a plane to Paris or Nice. Is this normal? Am I blasé?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And more and more I feel the need to be closer to nature. And for this,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm lucky because I don't need to go far away.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite writers, Jean Giono practised the "voyage immobile",<br />
that is, he never really left his beloved Provence and spent most of his life,<br />
"travelling" in his own house, moving his desk from one room to another.<br />
He found inspiration in his extensive library and the ever changing view,<br />
although being basically the same. I quite like that as I feel, we don't allow<br />
ourselves the time to dwell on things.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">J'éprouve autant d'excitation à partir faire du camping le temps d'un weekend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">sur la côte tropicale que de prendre un avion pour Paris ou Nice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Est-ce normal? Suis-je blasée ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Et de plus en plus, je ressens le besoin d'être proche de la nature. Pour cela,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">j'ai de la chance car je n'ai pas à aller très loin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">L'un de mes auteurs préférés, Jean Giono pratiquait le voyage immobile.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Il n'a jamais quitté sa Provence chérie et a passé presque toute sa vie à voyager</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">dans sa propre maison, déménageant son bureau d'une pièce à une autre.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Il puisait son inspiration dans sa bibliothèque exhaustive et la vue toujours</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">changeante bien qu'étant basiquement la même. J'aime cette idée car de plus en plus,</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">j'ai l'impression qu'on ne se donne pas le temps de poser notre regard sur les choses.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I told you in my last post, since I discovered this lovely village in the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alpujarras mountains, I had the dream to stay there for at least one month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this little dream has come true. Going up there takes only one hour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a half driving but it's like entering a totally different world. No cars, no noise,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mountains all around you. At times, someone passes by </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a horse or a mule in the narrow streets. And there's a wonderful silence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
past the lunch hour during siesta time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Comme je vous l'avais dit dans mon dernier post, j'ai découvert un adorable</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">petit village dans les montagnes de Las Alpujarras. Je rêvais de trouver une</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">maison à louer pour un mois et ce rêve est devenu une réalité. Il faut seulement </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">une heure et demie pour s'y rendre en voiture mais c'est comme entrer dans un</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">monde totalement autre. Pas de voitures, aucun bruit, les montagnes tout </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">autour. Parfois, quelqu'un passe avec un cheval ou une mule dans les ruelles étroites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Et puis il y a ce merveilleux silence, après l'heure du repas de midi, durant la sieste.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another of my dreams would be to do the journey from home to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this village in a horse carriage. But this could be a very arduous journey....still,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
can you picture the excitement of travelling on sineous roads on mountain slopes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je rêve de faire ce voyage en carriole un jour depuis chez moi mais là je crois</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">que ce serait assez pénible. Ce serait un sacré voyage pourtant. Rien que l'émotion</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">de passer tout près du bord de la route, à flanc de montagne...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since a few days I fell in love with a tiny village, 2 hours from home, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the Alpujarras mountains. I keep going back whenever I can escape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the biggest crush I've ever had for a place. For me, it's exactly what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been looking for since I live here in Andalusia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quiet, all white, flowers everywhere and what's more important, hydrangeas,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favorite flowers, lovely people, lots of artisans. Honestly, this sounds </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like heaven to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Depuis quelques jours, je suis tombée amoureuse d'un tout petit village,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">à 2 heures de chez moi dans les montagnes de Las Alpujarras.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">J'y vais dès que je peux m'échapper. C'est vraiment le plus énorme coup de foudre</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">que j'ai jamais eu pour un endroit. En fait, c'est exactement ce que je cherchais</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">depuis que je vis ici en Andalousie. Paisible, tout blanc, des fleurs partout et surtout,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">des hortensions, mes fleurs préférées, des habitants accueillants et toute une floppée</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">d'artisans. Franchement, c'est un village de rêve pour moi !</span><br />

My companion and I stayed at L'Atelier, a lovely 2 room hotel, run by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a French couple Brigitte and Michel. They were so adorable with us and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
made us feel like family, we didn't want to leave! Brigitte is also the chef of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
L'Atelier restaurant and makes a delicious vegetarian cuisine with an Asian touch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our room, pretty and quite spacious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Mon compagnon et moi avons séjourné à L'Atelier, un adorable B&B de 2</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">chambres, tenu par un couple français, Brigitte et Michel. Leur accueil </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> a été tellement chaleureux, au bout du 2ème jour, on s'est sentis comme en</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">famille et on n'avait plus envie de partir ! Brigitte est aussi la chef du restaurant</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">L'Atelier et sert une délicieuse cuisine végétarienne aux notes asiatiques.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My companion chose to stay a few more days, lucky him..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and changed room. Next time, I want to wake up gazing at the wild </div>

vine through this blue window. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Mon compagnon, a choisi de rester quelques jours de plus, le veinard et </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">a changé de chambre. La prochaine fois, j'aimerais bien me réveiller</span></div>

It dawned on me I didn't mind at all this routine and the lack of variety. In fact, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the atmosphere was so friendly, we kept meeting new people all the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Le soir, nous dînons dans l'autre restaurant du village, La Cueva de la Luna Mora,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">un piano bar très mignon, tenu par un Argentin haut en couleurs. Je me suis </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">rendue compte que notre routine ne m'ennuyait pas du tout. En fait l'ambiance</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">était très sympa et on n'arrêtait pas de rencontrer des gens nouveaux à chaque fois. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One day, I traveled there with my new cushions to photograph them and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we made friend with this young boy who was chatting on his mobile,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while we were looking for a great shooting spot in one of the numerous tiny streets</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Un jour, j'ai fait le voyage avec mes nouveaux coussins pour les photographier</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">et nous avons sympathisé avec un jeune adolescent qui chattait sur son portable,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">alors qu'on marchait dans l'une des innombrables ruelles à la recherche d'un cadre idéal.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought those amazing stairs would be the perfect canvas to take pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of my new creations. The young boy was laughing because this is actually </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
part of his house. In the old times, storage rooms were build with tiny doors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and impossibly high steps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je pensais que cet escalier fabuleux serait le cadre parfait pour photographier</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">mes nouvelles créations. Le jeune garçon riait parce qu'en fait, c'est chez lui. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Dans le temps, on construisait des silos avec de toutes petites portes et</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">des marches incroyablement hautes pour y accéder.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After having spent 3 months of winter in Sweden, I'm back at home in Andalusia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it just feels wonderful. When I was away, a sandstorm from the Sahara desert</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colored the snow capped sierra with a rusty color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a huge amount of cleaning in the patio and on the roof terrace, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still I just have to stop what I'm doing and sit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the sun, listening to the happy tweeter of the birds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Après avoir passé 3 mois d'hiver en Suède, je suis de retour en Andalousie</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">et c'est simplement merveilleux. En mon absence, il y a eu une tempête de sable,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">en provenance du Sahara et la neige sur la sierra est couleur de rouille.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">J'ai une tonne de nettoyage à faire dans le patio et sur la terrasse sur le toit, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">mais j'ai aussi besoin de tout arrêter et de m'assoir au soleil, rien que</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">pour écouter les oiseaux qui gazouillent gaiement.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
With the warm days coming, it will soon be time to prepare the patio</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the roof terrace. At the moment, it's just a vacant space just waiting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to come alive with sunbeds, straw hats and fresh mint tea in pretty Morrocan glasses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The traditional Andalusian village house has a verticality rule which I enjoy a lot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In winter, I could spend half of the day on the roof terrace which gets all the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Les beaux jours seront bientôt là et il est temps de préparer le patio</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">et la terrasse. Pour le moment, ce sont des espaces vacants qui ne demandent</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">qu'à être habités avec des lits pour la sieste, des chapeaux de paille,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">et du thé à la menthe dans de jolis verres marocains.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">La maison de village traditionnelle andalouse obéit à une règle de verticalité</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">qui m'amuse beaucoup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">En hiver, je peux passer une partie de la journée sur la terrasse sur la toit qui reçoit tout le soleil.</span></div>

And in summer, it's time to go down to the little bookroom next to the patio,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in search of the shade and a cool place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Et en été, il est temps de descendre dans la petite bibliothèque à côté du patio,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">à la recherche de l'ombre et de la fraîcheur.</span></div>

I missed the "<i>galette des rois</i>" but I'm ahead on the Chandeleur (Pancake Day)<br />
with this all-pancake lunch. When I'm short of ideas, I turn to my recipes <i>de toujours</i>,<br />
the recipes I know nearly by heart, like the pancakes. Also, making pancakes in Sweden,<br />
takes me back to my childhood. I still remember the sketches, the teacher made us draw<br />
in our notebook, of a little black frying pan with a flipped pancake, comes February.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">J'ai loupé la galette des rois mais je suis en avance sur la Chandeleur</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">avec ce repas tout crêpes. Quand je suis à court d'idées, je me réfugie dans </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">les valeurs sûres. Et puis faire des crêpes en Suède, ça me rappelle mon enfance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Je me souviens encore de la frise que l'instit nous faisait dessiner dans notre cahier</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you tempted?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the recipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Savory pancakes with mushrooms, bacon bits, cheese and bechamel</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>To make the pancake batter</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
250g of flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 liter of milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50g of melted butter or 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 pinch of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thyme, black pepper - for the savory pancakes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 pinch of vanilla-flavored sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon of rum - for the sweet pancakes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>For the bechamel</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tablespoon of flour (10g approx)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15g of butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
150ml of milk or a bit more<br />
salt, black pepper, ground nutmeg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<u>For the filling</u><br />
250g of mushrooms<br />
150g of bacon bits<br />
200g of grated cheese - preferably a mixture<br />
emmenthal-cheddar-mozarella<br />
1 clove of garlic<br />
parsley<br />
oil<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start preparing the pancake batter. In a big bowl, put the flour then its center add the eggs, the melted butter or oil, salt and pour the milk progressively. Mix well in order to obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture without lumps.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pour the batter in 2 recipients. One for the savory pancakes and another for the sweet pancakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*For the savory pancakes, add thyme, black pepper and another pinch of salt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*For the sweet pancakes, add the sugar, the vanilla-flavored sugar and rum.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While the batter is resting, prepare the bechamel. In a medium pan, put the flour and the butter together and cook on low heat. Mix well once the butter is melted then add a tablespoon of milk and mix well in order to avoid making lumps. Pour the milk progressively, stirring with a wooden spatula until it comes to a boil. The mixture must thicken. Thin down with milk if the bechamel is too thick to your liking. Season with salt, black pepper and ground nutmeg. The béchamel must have a creamy consistency. Set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peel and slice the garlic and wash the mushrooms. Cut the mushrooms in thin slices. Pour a bit of oil in a frying pan and sauté the mushrooms with the garlic and the bacon bits. Set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the same frying pan greased with butter, cook the pancakes (2 or 3 per person depending on the appetite). Stack them on a plate. Then garnish each pancake one by one with the mushrooms and bacon bits in the center of the pancake. Spread some grated cheese on top and cover with béchamel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In order to serve the pancakes, in a parcel shape, like I did, fill each pancake with just a small quantity of the mixture mushrooms, bacon bits, cheese and béchamel and close the pancake with a linen thread.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Otherwise, fold the pancake in three.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the pankaques are filled, place them in the frying pan on high heat, with a bit of butter or oil until they're golden brown and a bit crunchy. Serve warm with a green salad.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b>Tatin pancakes (for 4 persons)</b><br />
3 pancakes<br />
6 apples (Gala or Pink Lady)<br />
20g of butter<br />
30g of sugar<br />
<br />
<u>For the caramel:</u><br />
60g of sugar<br />
40g of butter<br />
a bit of water<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peel the apples. Cut them in four and take out the core. In a big frying pan, place the butter and the sugar and cook on high heat. Cook the apples while stirring gently with a wooden spatula. Cook until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remove from heat and leave to cool down in the frying pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Prepare the caramel. In a pan, put 60g of butter and 40g of sugar with a little water on moderate heat. Cook until the caramel takes a beautiful amber color.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Grease a circular mold with butter or cover it with baking paper. I used a disposable aluminium mold covered with baking paper. Pour the caramel (it doesn't matter if it becomes hard as it will liquefy again in the oven) in the mold and arrange the apples in an harmonious way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Heat the oven at 200ºC. In a frying pan greased with butter, cook 3 pancakes. Place them one by one on the apples. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Put the mold in the oven until the top of the pancakes be golden and slightly crunchy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Take the mold out of the oven and wait a few seconds. Then place a round dish on the mold and turn it over. To be enjoyed immediately or lukewarm. </div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Pour la pâte à crêpes </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">250g de farine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">3 oeufs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">1/2 l de lait</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">50g de beurre fondu ou 2 cuill. à soupe d'huile</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">1 pincée de sel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">thym, poivre noir - pour les crêpes salées</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">2 cuill à soupe de sucre, 1 pincée de sucre vanillé,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> 1 cuill à café de rhum</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">(pour les crêpes sucrées) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #666666;">Pour la béchamel</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">1 cuill à soupe de farine (10g environ)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">15g de beurre</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">150ml de lait ou plus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<u><span style="color: #666666;">Pour la garniture</span></u><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">250g de champignons</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">150g de lardons</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">200g de fromage râpé - de préférence un mélange</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">emmenthal-cheddar</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">1 gousse d'ail</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">persil</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">huile</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Commencer par préparer la pâte â crêpes. Dans un saladier, mettre la farine. Faire un puits et y mettre les oeufs, le beurre fondu ou l'huile, le sel et verser le lait petit à petit. Bien mélanger pour obtenir une pâte lisse, homogène et sans grumeaux.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Verser la pâte dans 2 récipients. L'un pour les crêpes salées, l'autre pour les crêpes sucrées.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">*Pour les crêpes salées, ajouter du thym, du poivre et une pincée de sel en plus.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">*Pour les crêpes sucrées, ajouter le sucre, le sucre vanillé et le rhum.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Pendant que la pâte à crêpes repose, préparer la béchamel. Dans une casserole moyenne, mettre la farine et le beurre et faire cuire à feux doux. Bien mélanger lorsque le beurre est fondu puis verser d'abord une cuillerée à soupe de lait pour éviter les grumeaux. Bien mélanger et verser le lait au fur et à mesure tout en remuant jusqu'à ébullition et que le mélange épaississe. Délayer avec le lait. Assaisonner avec le sel, le poivre et la muscade. Réserver la béchamel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Émincer la gousse d'ail et laver les champignons. Couper les champignons en lamelles. Verser un peu d'huile dans une poêle. Faire revenir les champignons avec l'ail et les lardons. Réserver.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Toujours dans une grande poêle beurrée, faire les crêpes (2 ou 3 par personne selon l'appétit). Les empiler sur une grande assiette. Puis garnir les crêpes une à une avec les champignons et les lardons au centre. Parsemer de fromage râpé et couvrir avec la béchamel. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Pour présenter les crêpes sous forme d'aumonière, mettre seulement une petite quantité de garniture et fermer la crêpe avec une ficelle de lin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Sinon, plier la crêpe en 3.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Une fois que les crêpes sont garnies, les placer dans la poêle bien chaude avec un peu de beurre ou d'huile pour les faire dorer. Servir chaud avec une salade verte.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">un peu d'eau</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Éplucher les pommes. Les couper en quartiers et vider le centre. Dans une grande poêle, mettre le beurre et le sucre. Mettre sur feu vif. Faire cuire les pommes tout en remuant délicatement avec une cuillère en bois. Faire cuire jusqu'à ce que les pommes soient tendres et légèrement caramélisées. Laisser refroidir dans la poêle hors du feu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Préparer le caramel. Dans une casserole, mettre 60g de sucre et 40g de beurre et un peu d'eau sur feu modéré. Laisser cuire. Le caramel doit prendre une belle couleur ambrée. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Beurrer un moule rond ou le recouvrir de papier cuisson. J'ai utilisé un moule jetable en aluminium recouvert de papier cuisson. Verser le caramel et poser les pommes dessus de manière uniforme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Chauffer le four à 200ºC. Dans une poêle beurrée, faire cuire 3 crêpes. Les poser une à une sur les pommes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Mettre le moule au four jusqu'à ce que le dessus des crêpes soit doré et croustillant. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Sortir du four et attendre un peu. Placer ensuite un plat sur le moule et retourner l'ensemble. Déguster de suite ou tiède.</span></div>

I had hoped for it and it came...silently as it should. Like a post Christmas gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a precious moment indeed: when you make yourself snug at home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a hot cup of tea, while watching the snow fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Je l'espérais et elle est venue...en silence comme il se doit. Comme un cadeau</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">d'après Noël. C'est beau de regarder tomber la neige, chez soi, bien au chaud </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also fun to walk in the neighborhood for a bit of cold fresh air and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quickly enter one of the many lovely and cozy cafés around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">C'est chouette aussi de se balader dans le quartier pour prendre un bol d'air frais</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And for me, there couldn't be any winter without a good old cinema to go to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I found a true cinephile paradise in Gothenburg, the Hagabion cinema.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went twice already to see Almodovar's Julieta and Roschdy Zem's Chocolat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the latter, being the only one spectator, I had the whole room by myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
20 super comfy red velvet chairs all for me....I loved it....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Pour moi, il n'y a pas d'hiver sans un bon cinéma. Et j'ai vraiment trouvé un petit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">paradis pour cinéphiles à Gothenburg, le ciné Hagabion. J'y suis déjà allée deux fois</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">pour voir Julieta d'Almodovar et Chocolat de Roschdy Zem. Pour cette séance,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">étant donné que j'étais l'unique spectatrice, j'ai eu la salle pour moi toute seule.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">20 fauteuils en velours rouge, rien que pour moi....J'ai adoré...</span></div>

Winter in Sweden means hibernation which makes the perfect excuse to bake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last sunday, I made my first brioche here. Nothing can be more pleasant than</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the delicious smell of homemade brioche on a winter morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">L'hiver en Suède ça veut dire hibernation, et c'est la meilleure excuse pour </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">faire des gâteaux. Dimanche dernier, j'ai fait ma première brioche ici. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Rien ne vaut la bonne odeur d'une brioche maison un matin d'hiver</span>.</div>

At the time I write this post, the snow has already melted...alas...oh well,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I will have to travel further north to be fully immersed in winterland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all, Gothenburg is in the south of Sweden. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Au moment où j'écris ce billet, la neige a déjà fondu hélas. Dommage...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Je suppose que je devrais voyager encore plus au nord pour voir des paysages</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">tout enneigés. Après tout, Gothenburg est au sud de la Suède.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I discovered that raspberries are to be found in every shop here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favorite dessert is to make profiteroles with raspberry sauce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choux filled with vanilla ice cream and generously covered </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with a cold raspberry sauce. So addictive!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Depuis que j'ai découvert qu'il y a une abondance de framboises ici,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">mon dessert préféré c'est les profiteroles au coulis de framboise.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Des petits choux garnis de glace à la vanille et généreusement recouverts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJO_LFz1asADh7aofDGIc4MGfijO8AbmDI_1PZ42uMdj1Ca7tGiCuHOvxrFc7YnzcMYOXbP_IXw7eZZSET_jZwckjmeT8jMiJd-70HiO-TN2k1p8YYLnNwdTwVojF2vB7qfxhLt7eVk5A/s1600/branches.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJO_LFz1asADh7aofDGIc4MGfijO8AbmDI_1PZ42uMdj1Ca7tGiCuHOvxrFc7YnzcMYOXbP_IXw7eZZSET_jZwckjmeT8jMiJd-70HiO-TN2k1p8YYLnNwdTwVojF2vB7qfxhLt7eVk5A/s640/branches.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">In my bedroom in Andalusia, I keep a small
bag made of metallic mesh, on top of a table covered with a white linen sheet.
Inside the bag, there are strips of paper on which I wrote wishes over the last
few years. Things I would like to do, just for the fun of it, to please me,
things for the future. Things which really appealed to me, when I wrote down
those wishes. Some were feasible, others not so. Among the realized projects,
there were the pastry courses, the Pop Up French pastry shop, the Pop Up High
Teas. Among the unrealized projects, there is the idea of an illustrated recipe
book on the theme of an Andalusian high tea. Each year, I open the little bag
and reread those strips of paper and somehow measure the distance towards the
projects which didn’t materialize. I scold myself, I call myself lazy. But
curiously, I feel light and not guilty. Why shouldn’t I?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">In fact, surely like many of you, I enjoy
wishing this or that without necessarily feeling the urge to see it materialize.
For instance, I like the idea of having a tea room but if it ever happened, I’m
not too sure, it would actually be my cup of tea, so to speak.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">So... do I have resolutions for 2017 ? Indeed,
I have two projects, very simply. The first is to open an online shop to sell
my creations and the second is related to my birth town, Aix-en-Provence and
Andalusia. I will tell you about in 2 or 3 months!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">In fact, those are material projects, but
what seems to me the most important is to cultivate happiness….in spite of shit
happening. Not easy, isn’t it? Recently, I took an interest in the concept of
mindfulness and only the precept of “being present to your own life” or to the
present moment seems at times nearly impossible to me. And when I say, cultivate happiness, there again I admit the recipe is very vague. Right now, I'm in Sweden and one of my little moments of happiness is feeling the rare rays of sunshine on my cheeks and seeing the snow. It's totally deprived of ambition, but it makes me feel good. And yes, I really live in the moment then and happiness is also, to tell myself that this moment will occur again. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB">So, if I had one wish to make for 2017, it
would be to refine and enrich my recipe of happiness and share it with you. In
any case, I wish you a wonderful new year 2017, filled with little moments of

<span lang="FR">Dans ma chambre
en Andalousie, je garde un petit sac en mailles métalliques sur un petit meuble
recouvert d’un drap blanc en lin. À l’intérieur du sac, il y a des
bandelettes de papier sur lesquelles j’ai écrit des vœux, depuis quelques
années. Des choses que je voudrais faire, comme ça, pour me faire plaisir, pour
le futur. Des souhaits qui au moment, où je les ai écrits me tenaient vraiment à
cœur. Certains réalisables, d’autres moins. Dans les projets réalisés, il y a
eu les cours de pâtisserie, les pâtisseries éphémères, les goûters éphémères.
Dans les projets non réalisés, il y a l’idée d’un livre de recettes illustrées
sur le thème d’un goûter en Andalousie. Chaque année, j’ouvre le petit sac et je
relis une à une ces bandelettes de papier et mesure la distance par rapport aux
projets non réalisés. Je me sermonne, je me traite de paresseuse. Mais
curieusement, je me sens légère et non coupable. </span>D’ailleurs pourquoi ne devrais-je pas ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">En fait, sûrement comme beaucoup d’entre
vous, </span><span lang="FR">j’aime formuler des désirs
sans pour autant avoir envie de les voir aboutir. Par exemple, j’aime l’idée d’avoir
un salon de thé mais si jamais cela se concrétisait je ne suis pas certaine que
ça soit vraiment mon unique tasse de thé, pour ainsi dire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR">Alors, des
résolutions pour 2017 ? En fait, j’ai deux projets, tout simplement. Le
premier, est d’ouvrir une boutique en ligne pour y présenter mes créations et
le deuxième est lié à ma ville natale, Aix-en-Provence et l’Andalousie. Je vous
en parle dans 2 ou 3 mois !<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR">En fait, là je
vous parle de projets matériels mais ce qui me paraît le plus important, c’est
de cultiver le bonheur… malgré les emmerdes. Pas facile, n’est-ce pas ?
Dernièrement, je me suis intéressée au concept de la pleine conscience et rien
que le précepte d’ « être présent à sa propre vie » ou au moment
présent me paraît parfois impossible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR">Et quand je dis
cultiver le bonheur, j’avoue que </span>là aussi la recette est très floue. En ce
moment, je suis en Suède et l'un de mes petits bonheurs est de sentir les rares rayons de
soleil sur mes joues et de voir la neige. Ce n’est pas un bonheur ambitieux
mais ça fait du bien. Et là oui, j’ai vraiment l’impression de vivre dans cet
instant. Et le bonheur c’est aussi de se dire que cet instant réapparaîtra.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FR"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="FR"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="FR">Donc, si
j’avais vraiment un vœu à faire pour 2017, ce serait de peaufiner ma recette du
bonheur et de la partager avec vous. En tous les cas, je vous souhaite une belle
année 2017 remplie de petits bonheurs !<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
En mi habitación en Andalucía,
guardo un bolso pequeño hecho con mallas metálicas. Esta encima de una mesita
cubierta con una sabana de lino blanco bordado. Dentro del bolso, hay tiras
de papel donde he escrito deseos, hace unos años. Cosas que me gustaría hacer,
solo para el fun, en el futuro. Deseos que tenían una cierta importancia para
mi, cuando los había escritos. Algunos realizables, otros menos. Dentro de los
proyectos realizados, hubo los cursos de pastelería, los eventos Pop Up de pastelería
francesa, las meriendas efímeras. Dentro de los proyectos que no fueron
realizados, hay la idea de un libro de recetas ilustradas con el tema de una
merienda en Andalucía. Cada año, abro el pequeño bolso y leo una y otra vez mas esas tiras de papel y trato de mesurar la distancia hacia los proyectos
pendientes. Me echo la bronca, me llamo perezosa. Pero, curiosamente, me siento
ligera y sin culpa. <span lang="EN-GB">De hecho, porque no?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
En realidad, seguro que a
ti también te pasa eso, a mi a veces me gusta tener deseos sin que se convierten
necesariamente en una cosa concreta. Por ejemplo, me gusta la idea de tener un salón
de té, pero si un día, eso se materializa, no estoy segura que sea de verdad mi
meta única. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Entonces, si tengo
resoluciones para 2017 ? Tengo simplemente dos proyectos. El primero es
abrir una tienda online para presentar y vender mis creaciones y el segundo tiene
que ver con mi ciudad natal, Aix-en-Provence y Andalucia. Ya te contaré mas dentro
de 2 o 3 meses!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
De hecho, te hablo de
proyectos materiales pero lo que me parece los mas importante es cultivar la
felicidad…a pesar de las palizas de la vida. No resulta fácil, verdad?
Ultimamente, empecé a leer sobre el mindfulness, y a mi solo el precepto de “ser
presente a su propia vida” o al instante presente a veces me parece imposible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Y cuando digo, cultivar
la felicidad, reconozco que la receta es muy vaga. Ahora mismo, estoy en Suecia
y mi pequeña felicidad es sentir los raros rayos de sol en las mejillas y ver
la nieve. Eso no tiene nada de ambicioso pero me hace sentir feliz. Y en esto
caso, es cierto que vivo el instante y la felicidad es decirme que este
instante ocurrirá de nuevo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Entonces, si tuviera un deseo para 2017, seria refinar mi receta de la felicidad y compartirla
contigo. En todos casos, te deseo un buen año 2017, lleno de instantes felices!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm back! Last night I stayed up far too late to deliver what is now becoming</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a super long post on my partial move to Gothenburg in Sweden. Which means that since last</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
summer, I'm now a kind of nomad, living between Granada and Gothenburg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With what's been happening lately, Brexit, the rise of protectionism and Trump's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
election, I must say I quite enjoy the freedom to be a European citizen and the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ability to live between two countries.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Et me voilà de retour ! Hier soir, je suis restée très tard sur mon ordi pour</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">choisir les photos de ce billet à rallonge et vous parler un peu de mon</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">déménagement partiel à Gothenburg en Suède. Je dis partiel, parce que</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">depuis cet été, je suis devenue une nomade et je fais des allers-retours entre</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Granada et Gothenburg. Avec tous les événements qui se passent dernièrement,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">le Brexit, la montée du protectionnisme, l'élection de D. Trump, j'avoue apprécier</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">la liberté d'être une citoyenne européenne et de pouvoir vivre à cheval entre deux pays.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the month of august, I spent altogether 4 months in Sweden and I wanted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to share pics I took in Gothenburg and around. If summer in Sweden was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
idyllic, well I can't say the same about winter...although....with Christmas approaching,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the city progressively transformed itself into a huge stage illuminated at night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by zillions of candlelights on all windows...and it's beautiful.<br />
But just now, here are some of my favorite pics.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Depuis le mois d'août, j'ai passé au total 4 mois en Suède et j'avais envie de</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">partager avec vous, mes photos prises à Gothenburg et ses alentours. Si l'été</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">en Suède est idyllique, je ne peux pas en dire autant de l'hiver...quoique...</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">avec l'arrivée de Noël, la ville se transforme peu à peu en une immense scène</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">illuminée la nuit, par des milliers de bougies aux fenêtres et...c'est beau.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Et maintenant, voici quelques unes de mes photos préférées...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I immediately liked in Gothenburg is the café scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swedish people love their fika, that is "coffee break". As well as France's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gastronomic meal has been listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the "fika" surely deserves to be listed too as cultural heritage.<br />
Well, being a sweet tooth, it's a tradition which I more than happily embrace.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">La première chose qui m'a plu à Gothenburg, ce sont les cafés. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Les Suédois adorent leur "fika", la traditionnelle pause café du matin et de l'après-midi.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">De même que le repas gastronomique français a été listé au Patrimoine de l'Humanité par l'UNESCO,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">en tant que bien immatériel, la "fika" mériterait aussi de figurer dans l'héritage culturel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">En plus, comme j'aime les gâteaux, c'est une tradition que j'adopte avec bonheur.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It took me a little while to find out that here service in cafés is kept to a minimal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so you don't have a waiter asking you what you'd like to drink but rather you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stand in a queue at the counter and order your drink. This I find somewhat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not customer-friendly but then in most cafés, the atmosphere is so cozy, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it doesn't really matter.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Cela m'a pris du temps mais je me suis rendue compte que le service dans les cafés</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">est réduit au minimum. Ici, il n'y a pas vraiment de serveur qui vient prendre votre</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">commande mais vous faites la queue au bar pour commander votre boisson. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Je trouve ça plutôt anti-convivial mais dans la plupart des cafés, l'ambiance est si cozy,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">que ça n'a pas vraiment d'importance.</span></div>

a restaurant or set up a Pop Up French Pastry... I hope so!</div>

It will be my first Christmas in a Nordic country. This is so exciting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm also thrilled to be blogging again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, now you know. As I'm sharing my time between Granada and Gothenburg,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be blogging from both countries and I will tell you about my new experience</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and of course my new creative endeavors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the South to the North, I know I'm an eccentric but I would never</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
imagine it would come to this extreme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I don't know if I still have some readers after this super long silence</div>

but....Thanks for reading!</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Maintenant vous savez que comme je partage mon temps entre Granada et Gothenburg,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">je tiendrai mon blog depuis les deux pays, et je vous parlerai de ma nouvelle</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">expérience et bien sûr de mes nouvelles aventures créatives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I now find myself in Sweden, the country of green forests and red berries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a semi rainy summer here but when the sun is shining, walking in the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gardens here in Gothenburg is just divine. These are gardens which belong to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the city but that you can buy for a certain time or rent. In summer, they open</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their doors to the public and you can visit and say hello to the rabbits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je me trouve maintenant en Suède, le pays des vertes forêts et des baies rouges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Ici, l'été est semi-pluvieux mais lorsqu'il fait soleil, se promener dans les jardinets</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">de Gothenburg est tout simplement délicieux. Ces jardins sont la propriété de la ville</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">mais il est possible de les acquérir ou de les louer pendant un certain temps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">En été, il y a des journées portes ouvertes et l'on peut visiter les jardins et dire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">bonjour aux lapins.</span></div>

There is absolutely no way to grow rhubarb in Andalusia so how thrilling to see lots of lots of it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and of course what can a French girl do in a Swedish kitchen but a rhubarb clafoutis?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">En Andalousie, il n'y a aucun moyen de faire pousser de la rhubarbe, alors quelle joie de la voir</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">pousser un peu partout ici! Et bien sûr, une Française dans une cuisine suédoise, ça donne un</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">clafoutis à la rhubarbe!</span></div>

I like its acid taste combined with sugar, rum and vanilla and I tried this "clafoutis" recipe by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christophe Felder. A clafoutis is a kind of a flan with eggs, milk and liquid cream. I just </div>

modified the proportions a little bit and here's the recipe is just below.</div>

Recipe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rhubarb Clafoutis </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(adapted recipe by Christophe Felder)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
110g of flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15 cl of whole milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
25 cl of liquid cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
90g of sugar </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
500g of rhubarb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 packet of vanilla sugar or 1 vanilla bean</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 table spoons of honey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tea spoon of rum</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 pinch of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Break the eggs into a big bowl. Add the sugar, salt, vanilla sugar or the grains of vanilla and the flour. Whisk together during 5 mn. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Add the rum, the milk and the liquid cream. Mix well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat the oven at 210ºC-220ºC.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peel the rhubarb. Cut it into small chunks. Poach them for 10 mn in a small amount of water and 3 table spoons of honey on low heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Drain the rhubarb and place it in a mold (diameter 22 cm) lined with baking paper. Add the mixture and bake in the oven for 30 mn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wait a few minutes before unmolding as the clafoutis is still a bit wobbling.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Eat it lukewarm or cold.</div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Ingrédients</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">4 oeufs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">110g de farine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">15 cl de lait entier</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">25 cl de crème liquide</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">90g de sucre </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">500g de rhubarbe</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">1 sachet de sucre vanillé ou 1 gousse de vanille</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">3 cuill. à soupe de miel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">1 cuill. à café de rhum</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">1 pincée de sel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Dans un récipient cassez les oeufs. Incorporez le sucre, le sel, le sucre vanillé ou les grains d'une gousse de vanille et la farine. Mélangez au fouet pendant 5 mn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Ajoutez une cuillerée à café de rhum, le lait entier et la crème liquide. Mélangez bien le tout.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Préchauffez le four à210ºC-220ºC.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Épluchez la rhubarbe. Coupez-la en petits morceaux. Faites-la pocher dans une casserole avec un fond d'eau et 3 cuillères à soupe de miel pendant 10 mn à feu doux.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Égouttez la rhubarbe et tapissez un moule de 22 cm de diamètre. Ajoutez la pâte et enfournez pour 30 mn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Attendez un peu avant de démouler car le clafoutis est encore un peu tremblotant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">À déguster tiède ou froid.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been so hot here these days, sometimes I feel too lazy to go out for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
groceries. But I like the challenge of cooking up some meal with just</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what I have on the shelf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what can one do with a tin of sardines, a tin of anchovies, four carrots,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some parsley and herbs and a frozen ready made puff pastry? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well....simply delicious carrot tartelettes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scroll to the bottom for recipe...bon appétit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Il fait tellement chaud ces jours-ci que j'ai parfois la flemme de sortir</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">faire des courses. Mais j'aime bien cuisiner à partir de trois fois rien.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Alors que faire quand il ne reste plus qu'une boîte de sardines, une boîte</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: #999999;">Tartelettes aux carottes</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">1 pâte feuilletée toute prête</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">4 carottes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">3 sardines (d'une boîte de sardines)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">3 filets d'anchois (d'une boîte d'anchois)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">1 gousse d'ail</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">brindilles de romarin</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">persil</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Pelez les carottes. Coupez-les en tronçons et ensuite en fines lamelles dans le sens de la longueur.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Versez un filet d'huile d'olive dans une casserole. Écrasez l'ail et faites-le revenir dans l'huile d'olive.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Ajoutez les carottes, faites revenir pendant 1 mn puis ajoutez un peu d'eau et du persil et couvrez.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Faites cuire jusqu'à ce que les carottes soient bien tendres. Faites attention de ne pas les brûler.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Préchauffez le four à 200ºC.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Découpez des cercles et garnissez un moule.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Avec un pinceau, badigeonnez les cercles d'huile d'olive, puis avec une cuillère, étalez une petite quantité du mélange sardines/anchois. Terminez en déposant des lamelles de carotte.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Décorez avec des bandelettes de pâte si vous le souhaitez comme sur la photo.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Enfournez pendant 20 mn ou jusqu'à ce que les tartelettes soient dorées.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Juste avant de les sortir du four, parsemez quelques brindilles de romarin.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Sortez du four et laissez refroidir sur une grille.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Ajoutez un peu de fleur de sel selon votre goût.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a serious crush for ratatouille, especially in summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being born in the south of France, this is the summer dish <i>par excellence</i>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grew up with. Everybody has its secrets about making the perfect tasty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ratatouille. Over the years, I've finally managed to obtain a ratatouille</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is not soggy and can be eaten warm or cold, as a side dish or just</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spread on a slice of bread. If you want to try it, the recipe is at the bottom!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">J'adore la ratatouille surtout en été.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Étant une fille du Sud qui a grandi dans le Midi, c'est pour moi le vrai plat d'été</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">par excellence. Tout le monde a ses petits secrets pour réaliser la ratatouille parfaite</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">et savoureuse. Au fil des années, je suis contente d'avoir enfin réussi à obtenir une </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">ratatouille goûteuse et surtout pas liquide, qu'on peut manger chaude ou</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">froide sur une bonne tranche de pain. La recette est en bas de ce billet!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As we slowly melt in the heat here in Andalusia, I could eat fruit all day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and what's more refreshing than a mango, pink grapefruit and orange salad. It's my own</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
version of the typical Andalusian remojon, an orange salad with cod.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I serve it with parmesan biscuits. So I think I found my ideal summer lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Give it a try, the recipes are below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Avec cette chaleur typiquement Andalouse, je pourrais seulement me nourrir</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">de fruits toute la journée....alors quoi de plus rafraîchissant qu'une salade de</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">mangue, pamplemousse rose et d'orange délicieusement salée avec des filets d'anchois. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Disons que c'est ma version de la salade andalouse à l'orange, le fameux remojon </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">à base de quartiers d'orange et de morue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je la sers avec des biscuits feuilletés au parmesan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Je vous propose donc mon menu d'été favori du moment: ratatouille, salade de fruits </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">& anchois avec biscuits feuilletés au parmesan.</span></div>

<b>Ratatouille</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For 4 persons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 onion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 aubergines</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 courgettes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 red pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cloves of garlic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tomatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
olive oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thyme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
laurel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rosemary</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
salt, pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat the oven at 220ºC. Cut the red pepper in halves and place them under the grill on a tray lined with baking paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peel all vegetables. For the courgettes, just peel them partially. Also peel the tomatoes (place them in a recipient filled with boiled water to peel them easily).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Crush the garlic. Cut the onion, the aubergines, courgettes and tomatoes in dice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pour some olive oil in a big pan. Fry the onion for 10 mn in the pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Aside, in a big frying pan, pour some olive oil. and fry the garlic (don't make it burn) and add it to the pan. Then fry the aubergines, courgettes and tomatoes, all separately, for 10 minutes. Add each ingredient into the big pan and stir.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Season with salt and pepper. Add a leaf of laurel, a sprig of thyme and of rosemary. Cover and cook for 45 mn while stirring from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the red peppers are done, take them out of the oven. Let them cool then peel them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cut into thin shreds and add to the big pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After 45 mn, take the lid off and let the water evaporate. Cook the ratatouille for another 30/40 mn</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and be very careful that the ratatouille doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Stir it frequently.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ratatouille is now ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Personally I like my ratatouille quite compact and without any liquid, so once it's cooked, I put it</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
in the oven for about 15 mn at medium heat (190ºC).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's delicious warm or even cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">sel, poivre</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">Préchauffez le four à 220ºC. Coupez les poivrons rouges en deux et placez-les sous le grill, sur un plat à four recouvert de papier cuisson.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Épluchez tous les légumes. Pour les courgettes, pelez-les partiellement. Pelez aussi les tomates (pour les peler facilement, plongez-les dans une casserole d'eau bouillante).</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Écrasez les gousses d'ail. Coupez l'oignon, les aubergines et les courgettes en petits dés.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Versez un filet d'huile d'olive dans une grande casserole. Faites-y revenir l'oignon pendant 10 mn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">À part, dans une grande poêle, versez de l'huile d'olive et faites revenir l'ail (sans le brunir). Ajoutez-le dans la grande casserole. Puis faites revenir successivement les aubergines, les courgettes et les tomates, séparément pendant 10 mn. Ajoutez chaque ingrédient dans la grande casserole au fur et à mesure tout en remuant bien à chaque fois.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Assaisonnez avec du poivre et du sel. Ajoutez une feuille de laurier, une branche de thym et de romarin. Couvrez et faites cuire pendant 45 mn tout en remuant de temps en temps. </span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;"> Lorsque les poivrons rouges sont grillés, sortez-les du four. Laissez-les refroidir et enlevez la peau. Découpez-les en fines lamelles et ajoutez-les dans la grande casserole.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">Au bout de 45 mn, ôtez le couvercle et laissez le liquide s'évaporer. Continuez la cuisson pendant encore 30 à 40 mn tout en veillant à ce que la ratatouille n'accroche pas le fond de la casserole. Remuez fréquemment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999;">La ratatouille est maintenant prête!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Personnellement, je l'aime plutôt compacte et sans liquide, alors une fois cuite, je la fais encore cuire 15 mn au four moyen (190ºC).</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Chaude ou même froide, la ratatouille est délicieuse.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this month I stopped briefly in my beautiful home town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too briefly, I'd say but then I had appointments in Nice. Still I managed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to find the time to go to Cézanne's workshop. Once there, the world ceases</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making noise and I found myself in such a peaceful place in spite of other visitors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat down on the terrace by the entrance of the house, truly enjoying this moment of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tranquillity and inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Au début du mois, j'ai fait une halte très brève dans ma belle ville natale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Trop brève même. Mais j'avais d'autres rendez-vous à Nice. Néanmoins, j'ai</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">trouvé le temps d'aller à l'atelier de Cézanne. Une fois là-bas, le bruit du monde</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">s'estompe complètement et malgré la présence d'autres visiteurs, j'ai ressenti une </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">paix totale dans ce merveilleux endroit. Assise sur la terrasse à l'entrée de </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">la maison, j'ai savouré pleinement ce moment de quiétude et d'inspiration.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to hop quickly to my birth town Aix-en-Provence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and visit the annual trade show Salon Vivre Côté Sud. This fair is dedicated to the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mediterranean lifestyle. It's the second time in a row I visit it and I always come back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with loads of inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each year, a theme is chosen. This year it was the color green.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Au début du mois, j'ai eu le plaisir de passer brièvement dans ma ville natale</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Aix-en-Provence pour visiter le salon annuel Vivre Côté Sud, dédié à l'art de vivre</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">dans le Sud. C'est la deuxième fois que je visite ce salon et j'en reviens toujours</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">très inspirée. Un thème est choisi chaque année et la couleur verte était le thème de cet été.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We started making Earl Grey madeleines. As usual, I ask participants</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to work in pairs to make the experience more fun and friendly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Nous avons commencé par des madeleines au Earl Grey. Comme d'habitude,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">je demande aux participants de travailler en couple car c'est plus sympa et convivial.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes easy and simple recipes like madeleines can be daunting. I had just explained</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the lovely and eager participants that the little bump on the madeleines is produced by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a thermal shock. And when we took the cakes out of the oven, we all laughed because in fact,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the supposed thermal shock didn't seem to happen as the madeleines kept coming out flat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never mind, they had a fluffy texture and tasted very nice with the subtle Earl Grey flavor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this course, I used exclusively teas from <a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/">Palais des Thés</a>, my all time favorite tea supplier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Parfois, même des recettes simples et faciles comme des madeleines peuvent causer </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">du souci. Alors que je venais juste d'expliquer que la fameuse petite bosse de la madeleine est</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">causée par un choc thermique, au moment de sortir les madeleines du four....nous avons </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">toutes ri parce qu'elles sont sorties toutes plates! Mais heureusement, au moment de la </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">dégustation, la texture moelleuse et le parfum subtil du thé Earl Grey étaient bien présents. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Pour ce cours, j'ai utilisé exclusivement des thés de </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thés</a>, mon fournisseur de thés préféré.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I always feel a bit nervous to use an oven I'm not familiar with and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially as this was a gaz oven. But as our lovely hostess Karin, said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No drama!"...with a little bit of attention, our matcha biscuits didn't burn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Je suis toujours un peu nerveuse quand je dois utiliser un four que je ne connais pas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Surtout s'il s'agit d'un four à gaz comme celui-ci. Mais comme le dit Karin, notre </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">adorable hôtesse "Pas de drame !"....avec un peu d'attention, nos biscuits au matcha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After making those two recipes, in which tea is added directly as an ingredient I then explained </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how to make a white chocolate ganache infused with Thé des Moines a delicious fragrant tea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by <a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/en/">Palais des Thés</a>, based on a Tibetan recipe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day before I made choux to fill them with this tea flavored ganache which we had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for our well deserved tea time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Après avoir fait ces deux recettes dans lesquelles le thé est ajouté directement comme ingrédient,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">j'ai ensuite expliqué comment réaliser une ganache au chocolat blanc parfumée au Thé des Moines,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">un thé délicieux créé par <a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thés</a>, inspiré d'une recette tibétaine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">La veille, j'avais préparé des choux pour les garnir avec cette ganache parfumée au thé</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">et que nous avons savourés pour notre goûter bien mérité.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was about to carry on with a tea sauce to serve with fish, there was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a general mutter of protest.....the fish could wait but please let's have tea now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we all sat on the sunny terrace by the pool and had more choux and shared </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the chocolate tart flavored with Oolong tea which I had prepared the day before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also drank tea, of course, chosen from a selection of green teas, black teas and Oolong tea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">J'allais continuer avec une sauce au thé pour accompagner du poisson, mais il y eut</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">des murmures de protestation....le poisson pouvait bien attendre, mais maintenant....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">prenons le goûter ! Nous prenons place sur la terrasse ensoleillée près de la piscine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">C'est l'heure de découper la tarte que j'ai réalisée la veille avec une ganache au chocolat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">parfumée au Oolong et de terminer nos petits choux garnis de ganache au thé des Moines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"> Bien entendu, c'est aussi le moment de déguster du thé, parmi</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">une sélection de thés verts, noirs et Oolong.</span></div>

At the end of the course, each participant packed up her baking goods to take </div>

home and also received a gift bag with six samples of different teas from</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you ask me what's my favorite drink, I'll tell you right away "Tea...indeed!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But did you know tea is also a wonderful ingredient that you can use in cooking?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few weeks I've been exploring the vast and incredibly rich world</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of teas. I've been using tea in my kitchen and not only to drink it but also to try </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some recipes...sweet and savory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm very pleased to share my culinary discovery with you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in my upcoming "<b>Cooking with tea</b>" workshop on saturday june 11th </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a beautiful hilltop venue in Lanjaron, which I will show you below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this course, I will teach you how to use tea as an ingredient and you will</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make your own baking to take home with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the course, we will of course have tea and cakes and will also sample </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some dishes prepared with tea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please read until bottom for details and registration.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Si me preguntáis cual es mi bebida favorita, os contesto sin duda "El té!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pero sabíais que el té es también un ingrediente que se puede usar para cocinar?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Durante las ultimas semanas, he sido explorando el vasto mundo increíblemente</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rico de los tés. He cocinado con té y probado varias recetas dulces y saladas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Así que estoy muy feliz de compartir con vosotros esa aventura culinaria</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
en mi próximo curso "<b>Cocinando con té</b>" el sábado 11 de junio </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
en un lugar maravilloso en la sierra de Lanjaron que os enseño luego al final de este post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
En este curso, os enseñaré como usar el té como ingrediente y podréis llevaros</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a casa lo que vais a cocinar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Después del curso, por supuesto tomaremos el té con unos dulces preparados</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
con té y también probaremos varios platos elaborados con té.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also make a demonstration of my very own recipe of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a white chocolate ganache flavored with Thé des Moines tea from <a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thé</a>s.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This subtle and fragrant tea has been created by Palais des Thés after a Tibetan recipe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After various trials I finally succeeded to obtain a wonderfully flavored ganache</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it's my pleasure to share my recipe with you in this course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
También haré una demostracion de mi propria receta de ganache al chocolate blanco</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perfumada con el Thé des Moines de <a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thés</a>. Este té con una fragancia sutil y elegante</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
es una creación de Palais des Thés inspirada de una receta tibetana. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tras varias pruebas, conseguí una ganache con un sabor increíble y perfumado</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
y estaré muy feliz de compartir mi receta durante este curso.</div>

All the teas we will be using are from my favorite tea brand </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thés</a>. Not that they sponsor me to run this workshop but I just love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their teas and their business conduct.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Todos los tés que vamos a usar son de mi marca de tés favorita</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.palaisdesthes.com/fr/">Palais des Thés</a>. No porque, hacen de sponsor para que dé este curso, pero</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
me encantan sus productos y también su conducta comercial.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A visit to my friend José Luis, whom I call the Andalusian poet-gentleman farmer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is always a joy. He lives in his old family house, tends his vegetable garden,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes his own jams and honey. He repairs the roof from time to time; the old</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lady needs lots of attention but as we say here "poco a poco", little by little,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as José Luis is a true adept of the art of slow living. That day, his brother Paco was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there too. I had come with a group of friends and Paco showed us proudly his collection</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of bonsaïs. He's been growing them since 25 years and his voice is filled with love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when he speaks about his babies. So touching.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Une visite chez mon ami José Luis que j'ai baptisé le poète gentleman farmer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">andalou est toujours une promesse de moments joyeux. Il habite dans sa vieille</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">maison de famille, où il cultive ses légumes, fabrique ses propres confitures</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">et son miel. De temps en temps, il répare le toit de la maison. La vieille dame a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">besoin de beaucoup de soins mais comme on dit ici, "poco a poco", car José Luis</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">est un véritable adepte de l'art de vivre au ralenti. Ce jour-là son frère Paco</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">était là aussi. Je suis venue avec un groupe d'amis et Paco nous a montré avec</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">fierté sa collection de bonsaïs. Il les a plantés il y a 25 ans et sa voix est toute </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">chargée d'amour lorsqu'il parle de ses bébés...C'est vraiment touchant...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Paco's bonsaïs thrive next to a magnificent jasmine tree. They all have a person's name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paco's never been to Japan but he knows so much about the art of bonsaï and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Japanese culture, it seems he already knows the country so well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Les bonsaïs de Paco s'épanouissent à côté d'un beau jasmin parfumé. Ils ont tous</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">un nom de personne. Paco n'est jamais allé au Japon mais il est tellement érudit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">en matière de culture du bonsaï et du Japon en général, c'est comme s'il connaissait</span></div>

José Luis took us to the garden to pick up some broad beans, fresh onions and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
clementines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Here, José Luis is preparing a traditional salad, called "remojon":</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oranges, a few raw broad beans, a spring onion cut very thinly, a few shreds of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cold cod and some black olives. He then seasons it with a bit of olive oil and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sprinkles some clementine juice on it and a bit of salt. All the ingredients, except</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the black olives and the cod come from his garden. The result is so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
delicious and refreshing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">ensuite avec un filet d'huile d'olive, le jus d'une mandarine et un peu de sel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Tous les ingrédiens, mis à part les olives et la morue viennent de son jardin.</span></div>

The old electricity meter always makes me smile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's as if time stands still here. I reckon it sometimes has its charms.</div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Le vieux compteur électrique me fait toujours sourire.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Ici, c'est comme si le temps s'était suspendu. J'avoue que parfois, ça a du charme.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the time I'm writing this post, the church bells are ringing, it's the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
end of the Semana Santa and the whole village has been celebrating </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with processions and the traditional "hornazo" bread.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I baked a brioche yesterday which between visits didn't last one afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this rather pleases me. Otherwise where is the joy?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I bake, I'm never in a bad mood, on the contrary it's something </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly love to do and then sharing with others is the best part. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Spring coming, there are also some changes in my life I thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should mention here: I have a new love in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since my ex-boyfriend and I decided to part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I reassure you, we remain good friends and I'm grateful for this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is quite an adventure I'm embarking on and I will divide my time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between my beloved Andalusia and a country way up North.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all thrilling and challenging but I'm so eager to embrace this change in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
