HOME MADE OVEN FRENCH FRIES

HOME MADE OVEN FRENCH FRIES

I am sure that if you have children, they may have asked you at least once, to eat at the guy with a Scottish name ? Mine did. Twice a year : the 1rst day of school and the last day of school. Not more. But as any children they love to eat fries especially when it's cold outside. Just right now, personally, I would not refused a yummy fish and chips wouldn't you...?. So what can we do ? A friend of mine gave me a recipe of oven fries I was a little bit reluctant to try at the beginning...Good Lord ! Shame I did not do it earlier on as it was finally so good !
I have changed the procedure though, as usual... You can thanked me, you will not see the guy with a Scottish name for a while now...
Don't forget to buy the finest potatoes you can !

CRÊPES (FRENCH PANCAKES) FOR THE CHANDELEUR...

CRÊPES (FRENCH PANCAKES) FOR THE CHANDELEUR...

The chandeleur (candlemas), will be next Monday, the 2nd of February 2015. 
Be ready for it !!!

Candlemas, a Catholic holiday is celebrated exactly 40 days after Christmas – every 2nd of February to be precise. For the Catholics it is a feast to commemorate the Virgin Mary’s purification and the presentation of the child Jesus. Originating as a Roman feast, this tradition has been observed from generation to generation and even to this day.

In France, Candlemas holiday is called "La Chandeleur", "Fête de la Lumière" or "jour des crêpes". One of the highlights of this French celebration is eating a lot of crêpes on Chandeleur, along with a bit of fortune telling while the crêpe is being made. Part of the French tradition is holding a coin with the writing hand and a crêpe pan held by the other hand. The crêpe is flipped into the air. If the crêpe is caught in the pan, it is believed that the family will be prosperous for the rest of the year. (Source : Bordeaux apartement).
