The story of our family of five six that has been uprooted from a city on the plains of Canada and find ourselves in a village in the French Alpes.

Signs that we are adapting to France: #22

This was our supper tonight.

We sat down a bit after 7:30 with our kids for Tartiflette.




Tartiflette is a traditional hearty Alpine meal from the Haute-Savoie region (north of us - up towards Switzerland, by Annecy etc.)

Boil about a kilo and a half of potatoes then sauté an onion in a bit of oil.  Layer it twice in a gratin dish, add a bit of cream, a glass of a dry white wine, and an entire wheel of Reblochon cheese sliced lengthwise in half and placed on the top and bake at 250'.

The five of us made a pretty good dent in it.
