Thanksgiving Potluck

Heath and I attended a potluck at Daily Grub, my favorite restaurant in Omaha, for Thanksgiving.  The restaurant itself was closed, but friends of DG were invited (omnivores, vegetarians and vegans) to get together for food, drink and conversation.  

Here are a few things we enjoyed...everything is vegan unless otherwise marked.

Shepard's Pie with roasted vegetables and turnip mash

Roasted Root Vegetables with fresh dill

Spinach and Soba Noodle Salad (vegetarian)

Pumpkin Pie, made by the lovely Elle

And this is the magical pumpkin.  He looks whole in this picture, but his other half is in the pie!   

It was such a lovely evening.  I brought Chestnut Stuffing, not pictured, but you can find the recipe on Eat Pure.  And a potluck is such a great idea for Thanksgiving...only one dish to prepare!

Daily Bunny

I recently stumbled upon this site and I simply can't get enough.  I think I want a bunny.

The Tistics

Let's play a little
The other night, I went to a concert from an almost unknown groupe called The Tistics.
It was like a game where you had to guess the songs, because they sing english songs...in french !!!
Can you guess ? It's pretty easy when you hear the music, but they started by reading the lyrics in french, and sometimes it's pretty hard to guess !! We had SO much fun, they're really good, so if you (french family maybe) have the chance to go see them, it's really worth it !

Silk screening again !

These are pockets where you can put your forks, knives and spoons for a picnic ! It will actually be wooden cutleries from Merci store !

Antoine's birthday

This year, Antoine celebrated his birthday with 9 of his friends at home.
I thought it would be nice to organise a treasure hunt!
It was more tiring than we expected. Next year we'll organise it oustide!





To get some fresh air the following day we took a walk, the weather was bad but it was still great!

Silk screening

I'm taking silk screening lessons every tuesdays !
It's great, but you have to be patient !
Work in progress

At last!

Loïc came back to Toulon after 3 months of hard work (and some fun too in Bergen!)
The kids were so excited, especially Rémi who kept shouting "Papa"!!!
