good stuff.


I've been home for last two days, both working and relaxing. As I'm really really tired (thanks to Léonie who wakes me up between 5am..6am every morning,either trying to chew an electric cord or amputate my ankle) I have spent the days doing nothing. 

No, that would be a lie.
 I did go to the library Ceccano to get new book (Can you keep a secret? by Sophie Kinsella) by the way, it's hilarious! And in one day I read half of it..
Yes and also I did also walk yesterday to R's office at evening, then we walked to see a house outside the remparts, ancient walls that are around the city of  Avignon. You see, we live intra muros  and then there is the rest, extra muros.

Here you go


So the walls are pictured with blue color.
I forgot the point of this.. almost.
So we went to see the house, but it was too near the big road and way too noisy and the house was too petite, so we are not moving anywhere,yet. We are looking for the almost perfect one.

 Léonie's grass has been growing, and  I bought a basil. I wish I could say I did grow it from seed, but..
I admit, everything dies under my green thumb and I bought the basil from the market. But you see, I can grow grass for my cat.


 I'm not sure if I made something wrong with the grass anyway, as Léonie looks like drunk. 
It's not cat mint, either.
serveuse! my shrimp sauce is finished! 
Give me more sauce!


 One of my favourite breakfast.. greek yoghurt with or without anything.


 If you don't know how to choose a wine, I'll tell you! Go to the store, and either

- Follow some older french man, who is picking the wines. Follow him until he has chosen and take the same bottle.

- OR choose the bottle by it looks, as it's pretty.

You see, it's really simple!
I used both and never got a bad one.


 I made today some meringue because the stupid store next to us was asking almost 5 euros for tiny bag.
So I made it and it's even more better than the ones from store! 2 egg whites and 125gr of sugar makes 2 plates like that. I ate half of them at once, I feel bit sick.. overdose from sugar?

 Mariskool bowl from Iittala, Finland

Okay, my days at home are boring.
Eeh.. 
 Two days of work left and it's weekend!

A bientôt!

  1. Léonie needs to stop being so cute... like now. And that breakfast looks delicious! I had no idea you were in Avignon - when I lived down south it would have been fun to visit. Please give Léonie my love - my mom is showing my cat via Skype now ;)

  2. I love your tip about buying a bottle of wine :) And congrats on your beautiful basil plant ! There's nothing like adding fresh basil to recipes

  3. I love meringues and I do believe that stores always overprice them. You can never murder a basil..it's one of the easiest plants to take care of...at least in my country ;) I remember Hollie once said that a good bottle of wine should never be more or less $16 :)
