happy things of the week

  Last Thursday I got this magnificent box of chocolates : I love pre-valentine gifts! They are from Pierre Marcolini, probably the best chocolates in the world... well at least to me ... the size of the chocolates, the packaging, the tasting experience... everything is perfect. Definitely one of my favorites.  Check out his store in Brussels on the Sablon, it's always got nice decorations for Christmas, Easter, Valentine...






Cooking is pleasure, so here's a sooo health recipe we ate a few days ago :        Salmon papillote : precook vegetables such as fennel & potatoes, drop them on an aluminium foil, add a piece of fish, fresh herbs, salt & pepper, a splash of white wine and cook in the oven for about 13 minutes. Yummy and healthy. Drink an hoegaarden rosé beer with it.





So of course, we had "to kill the fish" (that's a French expression) by eating a little something sweet ... and since we got the new Hummingbird bakery book, we choose something from there : Pecan Chocolate pie. Sweet, sticky, chocolaty, and tasting even better the day after ...mmm
