Anyway, Marthe lives just under 2 hours away by car in Montreal and she is a good person to know!
She has a foster son (who is now in his early forties I think) and he is a chef. He therefore wanted to cook us lunch.
On the menu:
Starter: onion soup with croutons and grated cheese
Main course: a savoury pancake with ham, asparagus and a béchamel sauce with two small slices of quiche: one broccoli and one spinach)
Dessert: a traditional Canadian pancake with Marthe's family's own maple syrup with a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream and a handful of fresh raspberries. Although Jérémie opted for New York style cheesecake with homemade apple purée:
We then went for a ride into the centre of Montreal and had a walk around. Poor Indiana got a bit tired though as we hadn't taken the buggy (long story but we needed to return some stuff to Ikea) and she ended up sleeping the whole ride home though.
Anyway, at Marthe's she had a bit of a surprise. I'm not going to tell you what it is yet, but let's just say that Santa came early and it's something she can use in the snow. I'll let you guess as to what it might be but until then you'll have to wait for it to snow here properly so I can get you some pictures!!
Some photos from today:
Indiana drawing with some crayons that Marthe bought her:
Marthe's cat "Titi" (short for Wistiti) was pretty unimpressed with Indiana and spent a lot of the time on top of the kitchen cupboards:
When he wasn't up there he was trying to run away from Indiana who kept on charging after him saying "Yoshi, Yoshi). I thought that "Yoshi" meant 'Winston' (because that's what she calls Winston) but I think it might just mean 'Cat', although most cats seem to be called 'Miaow' according to Indiana... !!
Marthe's Christmas tree, which has an impressive collection of international decorations purchased from all over the world on her travels:
