Today we've cooked a very popular dish : Poule au pot. It's supposedly attributed to a famous french king : Henri IV who, concerned with the well-being of his subjects, wanted them to be able to cook one chicken every sunday.

Ficelles picardes

When you've got remaining pancakes, it's usual in Picardie to bake a special dish called "Ficelles Picardes".

That's what we 've done today.

And of course we've tasted them after !

Candlemas

On Candlemas day it's usual in France to bake some pancakes.

Snow

It's the first time since many years that we have enough snow to build a snowman !
