Death & Chocolate....


I just finished watching Season 6 finale of "Grey's Anatomy" together with my sister. She actually was on her way out already to see her boyfriend when the first episode started. She never made it to the door ;-) We both sat there, banned. Not being able to move. (Okay, being a little overly dramatic here...) Hoping that none of our favourites would die... I had to wait for the commercial break before the second episode to go to the toilet... I'm just surprised that my sister was just as averted as I was - in fact I'm the TV show junkie in the family. Now I'm wondering if they just wanted to get rid of some of the newer characters... Maybe they were just sitting there, discussing how to write them out and someone said: "Let's kill them all!"...... ???




To calm down our nerves we opened a still sealed box of Merci pralines. I especially love the ones with hazel nuts. When I opened one of them it looked kinda strange... Expire date said: 01/2011. Then we discovered some kind of mini maggot in some of the other pralines... End of fun! I never had that before. It was kinda interesting... and disgusting. Will go complain in the food store tomorrow.

La Cuisine...


Tartelette with forest fruits

2 days of rain and too much free time. This is the result. Plus I haven't made any cake for a while already... I just wanted to try out those little baking pans I've bought. Flan case is made of shortcrust, filled with vanilla pudding and topped with forest fruits (frozen - unfortunately I did not have fresh ones at home) and covered with jelly (to make it look nice and also to keep the fruits from getting sloppy).

Rating: Delicious! Just perfect for a summer day!

Journal de jardin...

So, after my sister has successfully killed my former basil plant I had to get a new one... I just love this spice and fresh one tastes so much better. I've been so proud of the plant, it has grown nicely. During my vacation absence of 2 weeks in July my sister first managed to wither the plant since she put it into an aluminium pot and then placed it on our dining room window where it got grilled from top to bottom and probably the other way round as well. After neglecting it for almost a week she not only watered but drowned it with the effect of mold growing within the pot. My poor little plant just couldn't take it anymore... and finally gave in! Rest in peace!

I bought a new one 2 days ago. It now has a nice place at one of the shady windows and a ceramic pot and I myself will supervise the watering.
