Griller au charbon de bois.

Last night, Sonia and I made our way over to Allan's with a quick pitstop in Lidl to gather some goodies.

We met Allan, Jeremy, Jennie and Katie there to enjoy the evening sun, for what would be my first barbeque in Ireland this summer.

Obviously not monching on the sausages or wings, I had a gorgegous salmon from the bbq with Allan's most amazingly flavoured potatoes and peppers...

Dessert, as usual, was full of choices with everyone bringing something to the table..

Wanted to get a picture of Katie's outfit, which was gorgeous, but totally forgot until the very end.

Next time..

L'ambiance.

Eating quesadillas under the cloudy but warm weather. Break from social media working....

L'avoine.

La gastronomie.

Making pizza at home.

Onion, red pepper, gouda and mozzarella.

L'Amertume.

Favourite new snack.

Croustillant.

A chocolate rice crispy cake is about all my kitchenette can manage this Easter. I plan on bringing it to Georgie and Susie's apartment tomorrow.

Appétissant.

A lot of baking went on while I was at home. I guess I realised how much I take for granted a large and fully stocked kitchen...

Here are mum's raspberry almond squares, and my attempt at a coffee cake...

Goûtes-en un peu.

Trying to be healthy, shopping trip.

 Lunch of pesto, mimolette, spinach, corn and tuna. Nom.

Miam Miam.

On Friday evening, Laura and I went to an Alsacian restaurant with our french friend Elise, who happens to be one of the nicest, and fastest speaking, girls I've met in Strasbourg.
We have been out to dinner with her before, and it was nice to catch-up again after the holidays.

Sushi.

Last night, Friday, Dan and I went over to Kat's where she very kindly taught us how to make sushi!

It actually isn't too hard at all, but there are a few tools you need a knack for making a perfect roll.

Marsu, Le Goat and Clem joined Dan, Kat and I and we still didn't manage to finish it all.

All the other Irish etc.. went out to Kehl last night, but I resisted. And it's probably a good thing I did because I woke up this morning barely able to speak with such a sore throat. Oh well.

Un diner presque parfait.

Dan and I hosted the first dinner from our new Come Dine with Me type game.

We have a group of us split into teams, who will cook every Sunday evening for the next few weeks.

Dan and I went with a Mediterranian-ish theme. Where I created the sangria, and starter of bruscetta and Dan did the main course of seafood noodles.

It worked out pretty well as we used a room with a large table downstairs in Les Laureades.

And the best part is, that now we have gotten ours done first and out of the way, we have about 5 more Sunday's where we can just arrive and totally relax. :)
