Kaa, c’est moi - Artichauts confits au citron et à l’ail

[I’m Kaa – Braised artichokes with lemon and garlic]

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around

Remember, remember, the fifth of November – On getting insane and on the most delicious walnut tart ever

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I do feel like I’m getting insane. Wait, I am insane.
I just signed up for NaBloPoMo. Yes, I know, I’m five-day late. And yes, I know - or more accurately - I don’t know how the heck I am going to post every single day for the next […]
