Hello, today i will present to our big family:
Mother: solenne
Father: Peter
Child: carl
Snoopy: christophe
Nanny: jessica
Grandfather: johannes
Great great great grand mother: renata
Great great great grand father: frode
and great aunt or just the refugee rom developing court: cemile
Our meal was very english:
Lancashire hotpot, apple-rhubarb crumble, spotted dick. During the meal we tasted a lot of different and strange ale and beer like chocolate ale or banana and bread ale...Thanks to our child, carl, we tasted also the real proper cider which was pretty good camparated to the cider that we bought from costcutter for 1.99/ 2 liter :. We leraned that the dinner is finished by tea and rich tea biscuits at 10 pm so we had our tea biscuits ...by 2 am but anyway... and there are amazing ... the day after we finished the biscuits with glass...:)
The english dinner, even if it's hard to belive was really tasty.. perhaps because it was made by me and solenne but ... :)
The recepes were easy but strange especially the spotted dick. T first you mixt
8 oz self-raising flour
1pn salt
4 oz margarine
4-6 oz sultanas
6 tb milk
then you put the mixture which is not at all like a cake mixture, in a bowl that you cover with aliminium. You place the bowl in a pan full by water and you cook for 3 hours.Before serving you prepare a custard too...
Even if it was strange and that for the first we forgot the baking powder because we were using normal flour, and that the second was like a spotted dick biscuit, it was really tasty :)
I have nothing to say about the crumbles...asy to do easy to eat :)
The hotpot, was easy to cook but long because we put 2.5 kilo of potatoes, 2 kilos of carrots, 10 big mushrooms, 2 kilo of lamb, 4 big onions...if you want the whole recepe, you can see it on :

Anyway, the night was reallt cool and funny. It made us a little bit sad knowing that we will leave York very soon... Per example, our father left us last sunday and the nanny will leave tonight... then the next will be the great great great grandmum who will return to swizerland on wednesday....
But this 2 last weeks, we try to profit the most from york, england and friends... we try to see each other most oftenly and do all that we couldnt do during the terms because of our degree...
i hope your week was good, here it's sunny and fun and full :)
in the next blog we will explain our 2 gallery night, picnic, boat trip, birthday of sayaka, barbecue, ....
have fun :)

Happy Birthday Rowena
One week ago, we have played a paintball in the forest near York. As you could see on the flickr, it was a hard funny game where it is possible to be really hurting... in fact just
for me I think... Poor Sosso that I am..
Anyway after the big war with some english people, it was the Rowena's birthday in Eden's Court. A BBQ was prepared by Jeremy like always, he is a fanatic of fire! And Charles was
responsible for the cooking. Some good salads, good alcohols such Bailey where dressed on the table, without forgetting meats, chickens and sausages. The best part of the BBQ was the dessert in fact with no less than 4 chocolate cakes. It was impossible to not taste all of them. And for me the best of the best was Delphine's cake
with a lot of butter!! Concerning the atmosphere it was really an agreeable evening and night for some people. Imagine, the first time that I saw
James totally drunk, and it is actually funnier :)!!!! I cant explain more the birthday,you can just check again the pictures and see how we were happy even if we were very tired after the paintball.I was not drunk but I drank, and I fell down near the oven
because of Renata who was under control!! But i could say, that Rowena was very happy of this party, especially by a present: a photograph
album which reminds her the best moments that she lived this year in York. I came back with Cemile at around 2 something and after we tried to discuss seriously with our drinks
in front of my room's door. Finaly, at around 3 am we were sleeping on the floor, so we decided to go to bed in order to take a rest.
