Vilain Virus

I'm not over my enthusiasm to talk to you about our trip. It's just that our computer is not working at the moment (virus???) so I spend my days without the internet or even the photos from our trip. It got fixed last week but it's broken again and the technician is busy giving the bath or cleaning up baby mess so who knows how long it's gonna be...

Back soon...

Bonne Fête Marc!

Mon cher Papa Marc,

Joyeux Anniversaire! Je suis content que tu passes beaucoup de temps avec moi quand tu rentres du travail. Tu es aussi super avec Maman même si elle n'est pas toujours commode ;-)

Je t'aime beaucoup,
ton fils Philippe xxx

Back to Switzerland - Vous avez dit Chocolat!!!

A great thing about Swiss is they make the best chocolate in the world. Not the Cadbury crap we find here (no offense but Australians haven't found the real thing yet...) but delicious, delicate blend of cocoa and the most amazing flavors.

This photo was taken at your average supermarket. There was a complete aisle of different flavors to choose from. We got about 5 kilos (11 pounds for you Canadians) of dessert such as dark chocolate with caramel and fig filling, milk chocolate with passion fruit mousse, almond and hazelnut chips, and Marc's most wanted and probably the one we'll try last: dark chocolate with cherry and chili!

We've been indulging in a new flavor every night since we've been back, watching our downloaded TV series Lost, Heroes and Marc's new series Time Break. The stocks are getting low already, it won't be long before we'll have to go back to get some more.

My favorite chocolate is dark chocolate with whole hazelnut. Thank goodness we got a few packs of that classic combination. Crunchy and not too sweet, you can eat a whole pack in one night!

What's your favorite chocolate???

My StarMania CD: where the bloody hell are ya?

I gave it away before I left Montreal in 2004. Was I stupid or what? Have you got it??? I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when it suddenly hit me: I started singing Ziggy for no reason. My 2 men are in bed with a cold (boooooh!) and I'm back in high school with Ziggy, la Serveuse Automate and Johnny Rockfort... Mais ou est donc ce foutu CD???

We're back! We've been home for exactly a month. Not that I know where home is at the moment, all very confusing. Where did May 2007 go? I don't know. I've got soooooooo many topics I want to write about, especially the trip, but can't seem to find the time. I've been busy making puree for my son as he now eats like a little pig and always wants more and more of the good stuff I prepare. I actually just dropped an ice cube container full of prune puree to be frozen in the freezer. What a lovely mess. I only stopped singing for a few seconds to replace the words with a big "tabarnak" then I kept singing while mopping between the bloody freezer cracks for about 20 minutes! The engineers who designed freezer apparently never thought that you could spill liquid on the way in. Pas fort! What makes me sad is all the puree that ended-up in the sink...

Anyway, we had a great trip around the world, except for Air Canada. They really sucked. I'll tell you more about the trip soon. It was just a quick word to say hello as some people are starting to wonder where / why we're hiding. Photo: the Brunet-Watson Domingue family in Vancouver before heading back to Australia.
