Jour 24 - Picnic Preparation

September 13th, Tuesday

Today Kwi and I decided to clean up our rooms again (vacuum and laundry). I really like the feeling of clean clothes and tidy spaces! <3 Our working station is now clean again!

After cleaning, we went to Wazemmes to buy some fruits and bread for our Paris picnic tomorrow! :) :) Oh yes, our healthy lifestyle.

Aside from fruits and deli sandwiches, we wanted to bake apple cake for our picnic. So when I came back from school, Kwi prepared the ingredients already. We just waited for Louisa to get back from work so that she could tell us how she does her cake!

Top secret ingredient you guys should know: Louisa put vanilla sugar! :)

Oh and Louisa taught me how to peel apples! Haha! It's so cool how she's so game to teach us how to cook and bake! <3 When I come back to the Philippines, I'd want to actually cooking for my family (and have a barkada cook out!) 


We baked it for 30 minutes at 200C. Yummmm! <3

Since Louisa saw our enthusiasm to learn, she's proposing to teach us how to cook and bake! 
Here's the check list:
( ) mousse au chocolat
( ) flan nature
( ) pumpkin soup
( ) many others

She got so excited that she taught us another dish - Quiche Lorraine


Since this was thought of at the spur of the moment, she just got whatever available ingredients she had in her pantry (canned tomatoes, canned mushrooms, fresh cream and eggs). She mixed it up all together and placed it in the ready made crust.

She even opened red wine! <3

Viola! Happy dinner with Louisa, Kwi, Bharati and Aira. All throughout dinner, we talked about food - what are things to try in Lille and Paris. I'm really excited to learn how to cook more dishes! Imagine, I get free lessons from a French lady! :D
