Dinner is served: Haloumi in mustard sauce and tartiflette

How we have almost longed for these “one event” days – at least when it comes to writing the blog. Having only one big theme a day also helps to stay sane and not feel so overwhelmed.

Today’s theme was cooking. We started out with some more blogging and a bit of entertainment, but before lunch it was time to get cracking and think about the dinner we have promised Michael and Lina to cook. For that, I had to get going to the western supermarket 15 km away. I was still undecided on the recipe when I left. The choice was between a Jamie Oliver 30 minute Gratin Dauphinois or our favorite Tartiflette – depending on what ingredients I could get.

Shopping was a bit of a disaster since I forgot about the side dish and our lunch over getting the right stuff for the gratin. I even struggled with getting through checkout in an orderly fashion. 🙂

Cheesy goodness

Pretty soon after coming back it was already time to get started. I was a bit rusty, but the cooking went well enough. In the end, Lina and Michael even brought the ingredients that I had forgotten and dinner was saved.

It was delicious, not least of all because it has been a good long while since we had some cheesy European tastes. We ate, drank and were merry. Nina had prepared the dessert part of the Jamie Oliver recipe and we all finished off on an opulent affrogato.

The day faded out with all four of us in front of the TV, watching the latest season of the Big Bang theory!
