spaghetti a la mochi!

If you follow my adventures you know that I have received a Japanese mochi
And I was supposed to eat it on the 15th!
So I looked carefully at the instructions :-)
Well mainly I looked at the 2 pictures to open it!

Then I tried to melt it in the stove
but it was too big
So I managed to cut it in small pieces (pretty hard) to make it melt

And then I added it to my spaghetti carbonara
Pretty good actually!
Hope it will bring me luck!!!

My Mongolian dinner

I have made some Mongolian buuz
Mix some water to the flour, then make the small shape
Prepare a meat mix
And then stuffed with meat and do the beautiful form

Steam it 20 minutes

And there you are!
So proud of myself!
So good!

Epiphany

A few day ago there was the epiphany, which commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Christ child.

In this occasion we eat a cake with almond and inside there is a bean (nowadays a small character). The person who got it is the king or the queen! I wasn't but still ok!

And this is our "nursery" with the magi and Jesus and the rest!

Still a little bit of christmas

Seen at the hotel de ville of Paris

Funny Christmas decoration

And for the moment you can enjoy an open air skating area

Seems fun, but I didn't try... Too much queue and to scarred to fall :-)

This is near Beaubourg or Pompidou as you like
I like the contrast between new and old!

Great idea for a fountain!

And this one?
I just like it, seems mysterious :-)
