un gâteau de la paix
Cher é-journal,
Today's a holiday. C'est l'Armistice, (November 11, 1918, end of the first world war). Et bien sûr, tous le monde est à la maison, a long weekend! Though it's a holiday, some of the boutiques and department stores are open and I'm thinking of doing the grocery shopping today instead of demain for I've been thinking of inviting my belle-famille to lunch tomorrow. It's been a long time since the last time they were here, oh when was that déjà? Je ne me rappele plus du tout.
Now, what could be tomorrow's menu? *je re...fle...chis...* Ah! How about these turkey legs that have been sitting in my freezer for months now? The hubby thinks of cooking it with chorizo, parsley, celery and green onions. Ah, he's talking about this Gumbo-style recipe. Yeah, that could be good. Why not? Ok, gotta write down the ingredients... Now, pour l'entrée... 'warm goat's cheese on toast and some green salad' could be perfect. Voilà, gotta go now, le supermarché closes early today.
*******
At the supermarket, Séb called me up and told me that there's a change of plan. He just received (through email) several works to do this weekend and the fact of having his family over could be a bad idea. Ok, "c'est comme tu veux", I said. So, instead of buying the ingredients that I listed down earlier, I just thought of buying the Combiné lecteur dvd/magnétoscope for Cléms. Haha! "La surprise qu'il va avoir Séb!", I thought. The difference between chorizo, etc. and this appareil hi-fi, y a pas photo! haha!
When I came home from the supermarket, c'est moi qui a eu la 'surprise', Séb said that he baked a cake. "Wow, I'm impressed!", I said. "Yeah, but errr... it looks a bit burned". A bit??!!

Dommage. The cake really tasted so good, just had to remove the top, the sides and the bottom. *lol*
