We ate the galette des rois and Janine found the hideux charm, “Queen of the Aztec”

I guess I am her king then…

Last of the incessant spoiling gifts arrived today from my friend Mounsef in the south of France.

Delicious local products and black garlic mustard which I wanted to try for a long time.

A war might brake out, I have food for a year!

Yesterday I clipped my toenails and it is becoming more of a chore each time.

I looked for alternatives to the standard nail clipper.
I think I’ll pass… 😬

Best mango I ever ate. Very pale colour, from Réunion Island but apparently transplanted from Thailand

“Nam Dok Maï”variety maybe
With the thinnest pip there is. Delicious…

Free movie ticket today for my birthday. The offer was not great so I chose the movie I disliked the least…
Over 3 hours long, beautifully made but I have not often be less interested in a storyline 🙄 The final battle is endless, full of noble sentiments, vaguely ecological

That’s the only thing I did today except answering all the lovely messages I received.

I cooked a sort of chorizo, red bell peppers, giant white beans, baby spinach stew.

Served with a spicy fried vermicelli rice, Lebanese style which I love!

I am drying mint and I’ll crush the dried leaves into a powder which I use for instance on Greek yogurt.
It is smelling mint in all the apartment 😁
