Babyhood

I had to keep Pauline at home on Thursday and Friday, as her cold and the lack of sleep had made her tired and pale. Clément came for lunch on the Friday, so Pauline and I made novelty chips. I cut very thin slices of potato and we used my cookie-cutters to make dog-, train-, house-, star- and heart-shaped chips. The children loved them (P. and I ate the odd-shaped leftover bits) and they must have made an impression on Clément, because his mother told me this morning he talked about them all weekend!

Steph and Belette came for lunch on Saturday, bringing presents for the children as usual, including a Mickey Mouse shampoo! I made leek quiche for the entrée, whole roasted rascasse (my dictionary gives “scorpion fish”!) with sweet Indian rice and aloo gobi, then home-made ginger ice cream and almond biscuits for dessert. It was extremely delicious of course!
