Early christmas gift

I have been quiet for a while here, just haven't had energy for blogging after work and school.
Still have few school projects to finish,home works and 3 exams before christmas 
[eek, tomorrow accounting AND marketing exams!]
 

And I really haven't had time for photos either, what really sucks. Every evening when I drive back to from work to home, I see amazing sunsets and I wish I could stop and take pictures. I don't stop, because there is a reason why I'm in hurry to go back home.. the traffic. I don't want to spend the evening in the traffic and then trying to find a parking place inside the walls of Avignon. With our car, after 6pm it's getting impossible. So I just drive.

Last weekend, I got a early christmas gift from my parents!
No, they didn't came to visit [and I can't spend the christmas with them either...] but they had agreed with R that he will take me to the store to get the gift already and can start using it immediately.

Kenwood Prospero - it does everything! 

So immediately at weekend, I had to test it. I made quark pie on saturday [aah, again,no pictures..]
and sunday I baked some bread. This time, I did remember to snap a photo!



Now I'm off to get ready for work, it's 6.40am in France and I am tired. Léonie woke me up at 5am, she was so hungry. Since she was sterilized, she is getting little bit chubby. I'm struggling with the amounts of food I should give, she still eats kitten wet food so maybe that's the reason. She gets real meat few times a week,kitty wet food and then really tiny amounts of dry food [I don't belive that dry food is good for cats, but she is kinda addicted already for the daily dose of dry food]. I am going to give more raw meat for her, and order adult wet food when the stock of kitty food is finished. Any suggestions,help or advices?

  1. I've never had a cat so unfortunately, I have no advice to give, sorry Sini :-(
    But I will say that that's a great Christmas present! The bread looks delicious! :-)

  2. I'm sorry you are so busy and rushed! I enjoy your blog and photos.

    Regarding Leonie, we have two kittens that gained weight after sterilization as well...it's hard to put them on a diet! If you can find bio dry food (for kitten or adult cat) that is better than typical commercial food because they add flavor enhancers that make cats want to eat more. Other than that, no ideas, as we are trying to figure out what's best as well.

    Happy holidays! Love the new mixer!

  3. Laura, Thank you for the advice!

    The dry food we have is Applaws, what is 80% of meat and it's cereal free product. Even the dry food is high quality, I will stop giving it everyday as it's more compact in calories and start giving more raw meat to her (more natural for cat than dry food). I hope you find a good way too, BARFing would be my first choise if Léonie would eat bones.

    Sara, Thank you! It was delicious ;)
