Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others. Bowie feels good today. I feel good today. It’s Sunday. The sun shines. We had breakfast outside. Coffee and dark chocolate. Bowie’s working on his tan and enjoying the nip.
My Dad and I were invited to a great lunch by Ilse, my favorite niece. We had home made French fries (from my Dad’s potatoes) and vegetarian vol-au-vent. What a delicious meal! Thank you my dear niece.
Just a perfect Sunday. Isn’t life grand?
Looks yummy to us (me: catnip, humans: fries and vol-au-vent)!

I got some leftovers in the freezer! Yummy indeed!
Vegetarian? Met extra gehaktballetjes dan toch! 🙂
Hoe!?! Was dat dan geen vegetarisch gehakt…?? 😉
Ik dacht al toen ik de foto zag, dat zijn toch echte gehaktballetjes!!! Ja de zondag is de beste dag van de week!!! Ziet er superlekker uit en de fritpetatten van de ba zijn echt superlekker!!!
Echte gehaktballetjes..!?! Dan hebben ze me weer liggen…!!
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
En meer heb ik daar niet op te zeggen! 😉
Daar gaat mijn reputatie… opnieuw…
Grand it most certainly is. Looks like a fabulous Sunday.
Yes, and it isn’t over yet!
Sounds (and looks) like a lovely day!
Yes it was. Yes it is.
Sounds like a perfect day to me.
Yes it is. Yes it was.
Bowie looks quite happy getting some sun in the garden…..your breakfast AND lunch both sound delish. Lovely way to spend a Sunday I’d say! I’ve made french fries before but never from fresh garden potatoes….no doubt that’s a REAL treat. Enjoy the day………..

Thanks, we’ll enjoy the rest of the day. Hmm, thinking about ice cream right now… 😉
You really got to make French fries from fresh garden potatoes. It’s oh so delicious. Just like that ice cream I was talking about… 🙂
Factor 100!
Right on…!!
Looks like a yummy meal.. and Bowie is looking good.
Thank you. It was a yummy meal indeed.
Bowie is completely recovered from his fight 10 days ago. No more aching stiff paws. He’s enjoying his outdoor playtime again.
Nou wil ik ook patat!
Je zou de lekkerste patat ooit proeven!
Ik krijg er honger van!
Terecht!
Mmmm. Looks delicious! I was wondering what is vol-au-vent? I’m vegetarian and am very curious as to what it is.
A vol-au-vent is a small hollow case of Danish Dough. To shape, cut the dough into squares, fold it in half into triangles and then use a knife to cut the short sides of the triangle leaving a small uncut gap. Unfold the triangle and fold the cut edges over to the opposite side and thus creating a border. Commonly filled with cherries, this pastry can be filled with other ingredients such as mushrooms, prawns, fruit, or cheese.
Fricassee or Fricassée is any stewed dish typically made with poultry, although other types of white meat can be substituted. It is cut into pieces and then stewed in gravy, which is then thickened with butter and cream or milk. It often includes other ingredients and vegetables. (From Wikipedia)
This delicious, creamy chicken fricassee is a classic Belgian recipe. Often served as a starter, but it is great as a main course as well, accompanied by plain rice, French fries or potato puree, for example.
