...All the snow is GONE:)

  

I can't let you think I am still buried in snow..

It's right chilly and we have had a lot of rain but things are sprouting..  and hope of sprouting is going on:)

Those cookies are so easy..You just bake cookies that will fit in a silicone mold..pour a bit of melted chocolate in your mold..  then gently press the baked cookie inside..Let cool completely until chocolate hardens.

Release from molds and there you have them:)

Painting people from the back has become second nature to me and the rest is all intimidating..

Stepping out of my box going back to not stopping people but painting other things as well also..

I love baking small things:)

They last forever here now matter how small.I'll nibble to make sure all is edible..J ..well everything in moderation.The most disciplined person I know.

April brought a ton of snow..

 

Funny how in April..it has lost its charm:)

We were so encouraged by the mild weather with literally no snow.. we jumped the gun..

My grandson and son-in-law came and changed our tires..It is a law here..Summer/Winter tires..

Jacques took out the summer furniture..(we can't do outdoor furniture like in California lol..)The BBQ..

And then the skies opened up..

I made a great quiche for lunch the tire changing day and these amazing cookies..I am not sure what her policy is on sharing her recipes since she published her book..

You can Google I am certain.

Mel Asseraf's best chocolate chip cookie..This girl had a pastry shop in Paris..was a winner on baking shows..I find it great to follow her on TikTok..Definitely not a waste of time.

If you have not watched The New look on Apple Tv..the series..I can recommend it.:)

Juliette Binoche,Ben Mendelsohn,Maisie Williams,John Malkovitich.

Riveting.

Although Coco Chanel is  a terrible woman in this series.

Paris figures at the top of course..Switzerland and a spot  south near Normandy..

Anyway we enjoyed it. The portrayal of Coco Chanel is unflattering but well acted.

The Guardian gives it 2 stars..Thank goodness I could not care less.

The audience gives it 4.5 stars

The Independent 4 stars.

Should you be going to Paris..

I highly recommend Véronique's Cooking classes.

Un rêve.

If I may recommend something else..

The Little Liar..the book on my sidebar..

Now that should be a movie.

I rarely give 5 stars.

I did:)

In fact I gave Spare 2 stars.

You cannot change mother nature but you can make it more cozy:)

Numi Blooming tea..always a treat:) Indoor gardening:)

Ok ..one last recommendation..I mean we have snow here lol so series are still de rigueur..at night :)

Only watched one ,yet..I think Mikey likes it:)Andrew Scott (Fleabag amongst others) is so good.

There you have my little life in QC when it's still winter in a way on our heels.
