What do you do when it snows ?

Stay home & eat, of course.

Last Sunday, we had a bit of a snow storm. Many households in south eastern France lost electricity (we lost ours for 18 hours right after this party), roads were blocked & warnings of avalanche.

That was the scene outside our house as it snowed all day


Make sure you are stocked up with lots of wine

X prepared this delicious starter - Ragout of pan fried scallops & baby squids with wild mushrooms which had everybody raving.

Main course was classic Chinese - claypot chicken rice with stir fried vegetables

But the most important is of course to be surrounded by good company

The scenary looks beautiful. Of course, reality could be you are freezing your buns off! Your food looks great (as usual)too.

Eunice - The house is well heated so we were happy to be indoors.

Angela - Snow is not in the forecast for next week but I think it will be cold tho. You stay warm.

When we see you back in Singapore, you can ask X for it. He says first step, go pick wild mushrooms from the forest.

You're killing me.
