Hmm…
What have we got? A couple of really “sweet” posts, in more ways than one…   <I couldn’t resist it, sorry   > “Le bonheur n’est réel que lorsqu’il est partagé” roughly translates as “Happiness is only real when shared”. There could be a lot of truth in that, if you think about it… I do know, however, that this post did make me “crack several smiles” on a “dark”, "stormy", and generally just “meh”, to “really quite irritating day”…  Sweet “babies”… I see nothing but “contentment”, and “love” there, and that, to me, is a very rare, precious, and wonderful, thing… Thanks, Alizée…  Oh look…  There’s that word, again… “Tiramisu”…  “Cette fois: tiramisu speculoos pour @_annilychatelain” roughly translates as “This time: tiramisu speculoos for @_annilychatelain”… “Noicceee”…   Brings a really nice “spicy” “cinnamonny”, “biscuity” crunch to the top… Would make a really nice “base” too… Looks great, and know for a fact is going to taste just really good… “Ginger Nuts” and “Digestive Biscuits” also make a really good tasty and crunchy topping and/or base, but they can be hard to get outside of the UK…  Worth the effort, though… Respect to the “little” lady, for her cooking skills, and “good taste”… <Has this sudden urge to go munch on some “Digestive Biscuits” and Cheese >Y’all please, just be safe, and stay safe, ‘k…

But when you look at who her parents are, it’s really not surprising…. There’s Alizée, I mean, good grief, has she not got the “most wonderful”, “utterly spellbinding” eyes, in the world… <RedRafe, deliberately, does not, look at her eyes >And then, jeez, there’s Greg, Mr “Luckiest Guy in the Universe”, very happily married to Alizée, “living his dream”, "supremely" talented, "disgustingly" cute, and dagnabbit, does he not have just the cutest darn eyes, also? <If I did not “respect the hell” out of both of these guys, I could find it in my “flinty” little Scottish heart, to hate his overachieving self, but, he is just such a nice guy ><And he makes Alizée happy, soooo> Mind you, not that I spend any time AT ALL, checking out Greg’s eyes, ‘cos I’m not that kind of boy… At all… Just… Nooo… So, speaking of little ones with beautiful eyes…  “Le meilleur moment de la journée”, roughly translates as “the best time of the day”. Absolutely… Such moments are… “infinitely precious”, just… “priceless”…  “Belle soirée” roughly translates as “Nice evening”… Indeed… I’m “seeing stars” everywhere… Quote:

However, I liked ske_leton’s take on this, (which, like a darn fool, I did not “save”), which had a certain gentleman, you know who I mean, to the centre/left of shot, saying/thinking that he wishes that she would “come back”… There is an immense amount of “talent” portrayed, in that shot, and I acknowledge them all, but, I will be honest, (probably to my own detriment), to me, this is a “lop-sided shot”, for you see, all of the “real” talent, is concentrated on the “right” of the pic… The rest, “do nothing” for me, they are, merely, just, “also rans”, “mundane”… They lack that certain, “spirit”, that particular, “magic”, that the “little” lady, her “ little, “fey”, self, alone, amongst them all, possesses… <Decides to “step back into the shadows”, “shut up”, and “leave it right, there” >Y’all please take care, be safe, and if you are going out, please wear a mask. I know it’s a “pain”, but I like y’all alive, for I’m not even going to think about any potential alternatives, ‘k…

IG posts!?
Yep, a couple of really, quite, sweet ones…  “Happy Birthday” “Mom”. A young lady that we do not see very much of, which is a shame, though I do understand her desire for privacy, for she does seem to shun the “limelight”, which I fully understand, and respect… Take a very long, and careful look, people, for this may very well be Alizée, in another 20 years or so… Still, absolutely stunning…  Jo, you are truly “blessed”, in so many ways…  “Gateaux by me”. Alizée, “little” lady… No… Wait… <Official/Serious “mode”, engage> Mme Lyonnet, you, have serious cooking skills… Respect, seriously… It was also a very sweet thing to do, a very sweet, sincere gift, from the heart… The very best kind… My respect for this “little” lady grows yet again, if that’s at all possible... I may have to stop calling her Alizée, or “little” lady, from now on, and start calling her Mme Lyonnet, as a mark of respect… For, y’know. there is an AWFUL lot to respect, about her…  “Forever young”… ABSOLUTELY, and I for one, always will be… Y’all buy me a beer sometime, and I will fully elucidate, on this matter… Hmm, now, motorbikes… I have a “love/hate” relationship with these… Back in the UK they were my “preferred” mode of transport, due to the fact that they were economical, fun, and, were remarkably easy to “store”. I was always getting “transferred” all over the place, so this was a real, ongoing concern... I had a Kawazaki Z1000, my everyday “steed”; a Kawazaki z1300, for just generally “posing around the town”; and; a Triumph Tiger, just to scare the living hell out of myself. “To Infinity and Beyond”, in 0.0 seconds “flat”…  Jeez… So much fun… I don’t know how I ever survived it… Y’all stay safe, ‘k… Last edited by RedRafe; 04-22-2020 at 08:49 AM..

These cakes (or pies) look pretty much perfect. They have caramelized meringue, which means only one thing - Alizee knows how to use a blow torch, and very well.

I think she has got that particular skill “down pat”… I’m impressed, and I don’t impress easily… Me, I will admit, that I just “cheat”, slightly… I’m usually making maybe four or five pies at a time, and to use a little blowtorch takes forever… <That’s when I can actually find the blessed thing, amongst all meh kitchen “gadgets”, “who’d’jies” and “wotsits” >So, I usually just set the “broiler” in the oven at “very high”, and “flash” them under it, for a few seconds… Does the job quite nicely, but, if you get distracted, thennnn, still tastes great, but is not as pretty… Quote:
She definitely has skills, doesn’t she… The only problem is, I end up having to try one out after it, just to see how it was… Yeah, ok, like I need a lot of persuading to eat more pie… Be safe, ‘k…

IG posts?
A couple…  “5 Months”. Oh my word, she is just so sweet… <Cutesy wave to the tiny little little lady ><Just can’t help but smile >Has it been 5 months, already!?   “Sieste avec vue” roughly translates as “Nap with a view”… And what a view it is, simply, breathtaking… Who knows, maybe one day… <Just, not “holding my breath”, with regards to that one, if you know what I mean > Guess “who”, and “where”? <No prizes, by the way >A “sweet” pic, of Alizée’s “little sweetness”…  “J’suis dans mon confinement, bah ouais”, roughly translates as, “I'm in my confinement, well yeah.” Welllll, by the look of it, I can think of far worse places to be “confined”, although, I must admit, “a cage”, is still “a cage”, no matter how beautiful it is, if that is how it feels to you… Johann, you have a really, really nice “place” there, but, stick with the “confinement” thing, and stay there, for we really don’t want anything happening to you… Now, myself, I’m still out there, “masked” and “gloved”, working away, pretty much as… “normal”…  “Love to shoot portrait”. I absolutely, utterly adore this pic. It is probably the best shot I have seen recently. Why, because it is “candid”, and “real”, and not one of these utterly “posed”, “totally prepped”, “stylized”, “nonsensical”, “faux” portrayals of a person, that doesn’t really exist, outside of the picture, in question... Well framed, well composed, and with a really “cute”, but very “real” subject. Love it… I see nothing but “skill”, there… Respect, to everyone involved… Y’all stay safe, and well, ‘k...
