...FRENCH (III)

to be honest i have been quite french this week. and i am not lying at all! this week has been a success so far. as i have already mentioned i will not (and have not) post a blog post everyday. too exhausting and it bores me quite a bit.

austria has gone through an amazing and unbelievable summery week. which is incredibly nice but nerve-wrecking at the same time. i went out with jeans, runners (+ socks... or the other way round) and a white blouse. it thought i would melt - and it is october lads! it is not like may or something because i am used to summery temperatures even in april. but it is october! i experienced SNOW in october last year or something likely. so what the heck is wrong?!

but no bother. i just was not up to cook potato gratin savoyen for lunch today. it is just too hot to actually eat potatoes. you know what i mean? it is meltingly ridiculously hot out there!

but i have to tell you about my absolutely amazing bouillabaisse monday evening. how can i describe the explosion of different flavours in my mouth? to be honest, i just looked the recipe up one of jamie oliver's cookbooks and it was supposed to be "indian fish-rice soup" which i obviously did not make, because i did not put rice in it nor added i indian spices. so it was just fish soup... but it was not only fish soup. there were so many different tastes of fish in it, and then a bit salty and nicely seasoned. :) i should not be too proud of myself but i am. it has gone so well - so far.

right.thuesday 

i went for quiche NOT lorraine but i decided to put leeks, spinach and carrots in it which tasted delicious (even if it does not look like it... but it WAS delicious!!)

great. i thought.because it really went well doing all that french stuff to this point. and i continued! you would not believe it ;-) 

wednesday i had no time to cook and prepare stuff. so i just went out to buy some camembert and onion bread (yes i like it although i hate onions. this hatress is kind of weird i must admit)... this was my dinner at last. i toasted bread and i had cheese on it and it was tasty and spicy and really french :-) 

thursday  

it was too hot to actually cook the gratin savoyen, which i already mentioned. so i decided to go for an apple-camembert-carrot-potato-créme fraîche-salad which tasted lovely as well. i added some balsamico and olive oil and it was a total delish. 

this was it so far... tbc?!
