  • Bonjour bonjour!
    I am finally sharing an update on our kitchen build process. Although I would have loved to share the final result with you we have not finished the build yet... This means we will need to be using make shift solutions for a few more weeks as our first guests in the cottage are coming in a week so we will need to move out of the cottage and won't have that kitchen anymore :)
    We will continue our building works and I hope to be back soon!
    Thank you all so much for your support, we really appreciate it!
    Love,
    Marloes

    I make wild garlic butter, just gently blend with some butter, I also put a little lime in sometimes. It's so lovely with fresh bread and home made soup. I love all the flowers blooming everywhere so you can harvest for the house.

    I would love to be able to help you and Olav, Marloes! I am a cook from Canada. I believe I mentioned this before. Got some great ideas for French Acadian dishes from Nouvelle Ecosse and Nouveau Brunswick. They are simple but hearty and delicious. I don't need money or fame. Just a place to pitch a tent and a spot for a motorbike.
    I really want to see that part of France and Geneva. Hope to see you next year when I take my holidays.

      @FrenchCountryLife  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks! I want to buy local as much as I can. That is only possible if you eat in season. Alternatively you can preserve other vegetables or freeze them if you want to eat them year round. But I like having the special in season things, it give structure to the year and something to look forward to! It anchors our daily habits and lives I feel. Some say it’s better for your health as it should contain the vitamins and nutrients your body needs that time of the year. I do however also eat avocados year round so I am not rigid about it.

    Lily of the Valley??? Yes, the leaf looks almost the same as the Wild Garlic leaf. But I think that you are in fact comparing the leaf of the Solomon's Seal plant. Which is also poisonous of course, but much easier to distinguish from the Ail des Ours than the leaf of the Lily of the Valley.
    And our local bio veggies producer has also already zucchini for sale.

      I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro but when it comes to autofocus when zooming in my previous iPhones (12pro and 8) were much better! With the 14 I have to manually tap a setting to make the camera zoom which doesn’t really work for me. My iPhone 12 Pro focuses on an object automatically when it thinks I want to zoom in. I still use that camera to film brocante shopping or make detail shots when filming homes. Highly recommend!
