Les brownies (brew-ny)

Cookies

My French family can't get enough of good ole' American chocolate chip cookies.


Polvorones


I've also made several pans of brownies. =)

2 kilos of Côte de boeuf

From the local boucherie


Champignons de Paris from the local legumerie


Was thinking of doing something a little fancy but decided against it. Sometimes all you need is just salt and pepper. Oh and a side of fries.

Authentic Alsacien Choucroute

Made from a family recipe by a true Alsacienne, her version of choucroute was much "lighter" than what I have had before. I can eat choucroute though I don't normally go out of my way to order it. But THIS, my friends, was perfect. Delicious. Satisfying.





Today's meal was full of Alsacien favorites such as Riesling, munster and brie cheese. Ahhhh life is good.

Titu - a real French cat

Every morning he waits for his plate of butter. This morning it was le beurre doux AOC Poitou-Charentes.


His favorite sauce


In other news, I woke up this morning to see this.


I am always amazed and excited when I see snow, being a Bay Area California girl and all.
