A Mommas' Club weekend
This week-end Bastien came to London,
and that made some Mommas' Club official members (Mommas, Bastien,
Fred & myself), a claimant (Ludo) and even a dissident (William
)
to gather all together at mine and at Mommas' at Weybridge for
traditional but unformal celebration. On Friday we cooked Alsatian
flammekueche [1] (including dough) using imported smoked
lard [2,3]. That was damn good ! On Saturday, we made some
crepes. That was followed by a traditional Internationale [4]
"choir", a press ups competition and a fight club [5] for few of
us.
On Sunday, Bastien and I also cooked a
tartiflette [6] with
freshly imported Reblochon cheese. That was pretty good too !
Who said I was not cooking any more ?
