Your Proustian madeleine ?
Microwaved melted camembert on toast. My favorite decadent after-school snack… I know, it sounds heavenly.
Your favorite family (besides yours and ours) ?
The family from the Ricoré ad, just as the sun rises: another beautiful day.
Where do you have lunch as a family ?
When it rains, at home around a large wooden table, by the fire.
When the weather is nice, on a terrace by the Canal de l’Ourcq!
What does an after-school snack with the family look like at your house ?
Chouquettes! Or maybe butter pound cake, palm-oil-free chocolate spread, fructose jams, and cloudy apple juice. And also cow’s milk, yum. And on special occasions, a slightly botched chocolate cake (by me), but still very tasty.
A real adventure with him ?
Building a fort with four chairs and two sheets.
A recipe you can whip up in no time ?
Microwaved melted camembert on slices of country bread.
How does he get into mischief ?
By being funny (the humor of a 2-and-a-half-year-old, of course).
What does he make a big deal out of ?
When I don’t pour the milk over the cereal in front of him (even though I’ve already done it in the kitchen before bringing him his bowl). It’s a tragedy. A 2-and-a-half-year-old child = super fussy.
A favorite "À la Mère de Famille" product ?
Real roudoudous that make your lips tingle and wreak havoc on your teeth.
A gift for À la Mère de Famille for her 256th birthday ?
A trip to a country with coconut trees, to bring back coconut sugar and make special chocolate bars for me (who doesn’t eat white sugar)!
As Annie Cordy said, Cho Kakao, if you give me chocolate, what will you give me ?
If it’s coconut sugar, I’ll give you lots of gratitude and a nice slice of toast with melted camembert.
