Cottage trip

We just came back from a beautiful cottage site near the lake. We had so much fun swimming, and just enjoying the nature and the warm weather...

More French cooking!

Recently Yse has been inspired to create more French dishes for us, thanks to a cooking book she found at the library. She was especially proud to cook a duck, since none of us here tried it before...The entire preparations of the meal took Yse and Maria a good 6 hours, but at the end, the entire family experienced an amazing duck dish, created a-la-french way :) (Yse was a bit disappointed that she overcooked it, since the meat was not quite as raw as she hoped it would be. But for us, the grateful public, it was one of a kind! We just don't know the difference between raw and cooked duck!) So much fun. here are some pictures







Crazy dancing while cooking....

Preparing the Mango sause

 

Too spicy!!

Almost final version of the dish!

Also plus some french salad...

Here it is all about presentation, really!

I think we let our family friend try it out first.... He LOVED it...

Plus she made some home made oreo cookies.. Delicious! She took those to school to share with her friends..
