Finally

We seem to be whizzing towards the end of January. It is still somewhat chilly here in France, with night time temperatures below freezing point, but I think that will change over the next couple of weeks. January here really feels like a month of hibernation, for me it’s a month of trying out some new recipes, cleaning out some cupboards, and dare I say it, finally unpacking the last of our boxes from when we moved to France two and half years ago. I just hadn’t felt like doing it before, or didn’t need to do it, or had other more important things to do, whatever the reason, this week feels about the right time to make it happen.

We also practiced making hot chocolate, the french way, by melting chocolate into the milk. A rather tasty mid morning hot drink.
