Thalys train booked. No bookings to stay please !

Bonjour a tous! My 1st class trainticket from Amsterdam to Paris has been booked. I'll be leaving on the high speed Thalys-train on the 19th March.

Jayne will follow a few days later and she will stay with me for a short week. And please don't ask me when YOU can come over to stay (for free....) since I don't have my daily cooking schedule yet. Of course I will have the occasional visitor (no families or couples) for a day or so, but at the moment it's NON. Sorry.

At the moment I'm practicing a few dishes and techniques again. Did quite a bit with fish (sole, brill, dorade, sea bass, cod, skate, oysters, red bass) again, as well as some dishes with duck, steak(s) and lamb.

But no caul fat please!

 
I'm enjoying it a lot! By the way, I'm not doing anything will caul fat, braising meat, hugh amounts of butter and turned vegetables....

And I haven't prepared a rabbit (yet) to make us a nice meal....

In short, I'm really enjoying the cooking at the moment and I'm really looking forward to go back to Paris again. The sooner the better!

Until soon,

I found my apartment, finally !

Last week I booked my apartment; I found a nice place through 'ParisAttitude', a housing agency. The apartment has a good kitchen, separate bedroom and a sofa bed for  the occasional guest and it's not too far from the school. I think it's only a 10 minutes walk to class every day.

From Saturday 19th March until Sunday 6th June, I will be living in this place. Not bad!

And no, don't sign-up yet to pay me any visits.... (I will have the occasional guest, but I'm not a free Parisian hotel for couples and families !)

Until next time,

Sjoerd
