...All the snow is GONE:)
Friday, April 5, 2024
April brought a ton of snow..
Funny how in April..it has lost its charm:)
We were so encouraged by the mild weather with literally no snow.. we jumped the gun..
My grandson and son-in-law came and changed our tires..It is a law here..Summer/Winter tires..
Jacques took out the summer furniture..(we can't do outdoor furniture like in California lol..)The BBQ..
And then the skies opened up..
I made a great quiche for lunch the tire changing day and these amazing cookies..I am not sure what her policy is on sharing her recipes since she published her book..
You can Google I am certain.
Mel Asseraf's best chocolate chip cookie..This girl had a pastry shop in Paris..was a winner on baking shows..I find it great to follow her on TikTok..Definitely not a waste of time.
Juliette Binoche,Ben Mendelsohn,Maisie Williams,John Malkovitich.
Riveting.
Although Coco Chanel is a terrible woman in this series.
Paris figures at the top of course..Switzerland and a spot south near Normandy..
Anyway we enjoyed it. The portrayal of Coco Chanel is unflattering but well acted.
The Guardian gives it 2 stars..Thank goodness I could not care less.
The audience gives it 4.5 stars
The Independent 4 stars.
Should you be going to Paris..
I highly recommend Véronique's Cooking classes.
Un rêve.
If I may recommend something else..
The Little Liar..the book on my sidebar..
Now that should be a movie.
I rarely give 5 stars.
I did:)
In fact I gave Spare 2 stars.
You cannot change mother nature but you can make it more cozy:)
Numi Blooming tea..always a treat:) Indoor gardening:)

Easters past...photo heavy...
We are not doing a big Easter celebration this year as we just did a big celebration for my husband's birthday..
I miss making the cute things.:)
I have years of cute accumulation.. lamb molds, Easter cookie cutters, cupcake toppers ,banners.. the latter all Peter Rabbit.I love Peter Rabbit.
These littles tower over me.. All of them..They are young adults ,I am grateful that I still feel so close to these gentle giants.
Below..Lucas now 18:) Is twice as tall;)That jade plant is now a literal tree in the sunroom..same growth spurt as Lucas and the rest..
