Last night Jan cooked cassoulet for the first time. The recipe varies depending on who you read, or listen to, so Jan made her own version. Basically it is a meat and bean stew. Jan used sausage (Italian because she didn't have any Toulouse), duck and pork . Throw in the haricot beans and the other bits then leave to cook for 2 hours. Delicious, but I have to say that I'm not sure why the French make such a fuss about it. For a more precise recipe click on cassoulet above.

Minnie, who is still only 4 months old, can now open the back door on her own. Does she learn fast or what? Max wasn't able to do this until he got to about 18 months. She's one smart little girl. Bless.

We had to pop out to Quissac this afternoon for a couple of things, one of which was to buy a Euro Lottery ticket. The top prize currently stands at £125 m (175 million euros) which would just about pay off my credit cards. The only drawback that I can see is that the chances of winning are reported to be the same as being bitten by a great white shark. On the basis that I live 50 minutes inland does that mean I'm not going to win? What do you think?
