Awards

I’ve recently been nominated for 4 blog awards !

Books, cupcakes and cats chasing chipmunks nominated me for the One lovely blog award, the Blog on fire award and the Addictive blog award.

Mixer Upper nominated me for the Sunshine Award

It makes me happy to see that people are enjoying reading my blog : I put a lot of heart in the photos I take and the recipes I write, because I really care about baking delicious pies and cakes 😀

I’ve noticed that these awards have basically the same rules: you receive them, you post about them, about yourself, about the reasons why you blog, and about a few blogs that you enjoy reading.

I created this blog because I’ve always had a passion for cooking and baking. I’ve also always enjoyed taking photos. And then one day I realised that every so often, I would take photos of the things I had cooked, and that I would enjoy it greatly. And so I thought, « Why not blog about it? ». Besides, I figured having a blog would be a convenient way to share my recipes and make sure I would not lose them. It also helps me to put down my recipes more regularly.

About blogs I like and random things about me, I’ve talked about this less than a month ago when I received the Versatile Blogger Award. I wouldn’t feel comfortable listing other blogs for now because I really wouldn’t know which to talk about, and it wouldn’t feel right to just hand out blogger awards to blogs that I would barely know.

Riz au lait de coco et son sirop de sucre de palme

DSCF6931 Version 2

Parfois, seule dans ma cuisine, je regarde distraitement le ciel gris. Il pleut. J’écoute le chant de la pluie ; je regarde les gouttes d’eau glisser sur les feuilles et tomber sur la terre noire de mon jardin. J’ai toujours aimé la pluie. Au lieu de me rendre triste, la pluie me rend joyeuse. Une sensation de bonheur m’envahit et mon imagination me projette dans mon enfance heureuse, loin là-bas sur une île verdoyante et calme.

Sur la véranda de notre petite maison en bois, face à un paysage de rizières, de collines et de montagnes, mon Papa et moi aimions regarder la pluie tomber et le brouillard monter. Nous bavardions gaiement, tout en dégustant un bol de riz au lait de coco, accompagné d’un sirop épais de sucre de palme.

Au bout d’un moment, notre maison paraissait être un îlot perdu dans une mer de brume, et nous étions, avec nos bols de riz, seuls au monde.

Mon Papa était un fin cuisinier. Faire la cuisine pour ses enfants était un de ses plus grands plaisirs. Son sourire est le seul ingrédient qui me manque pour cette recette !
