Let’s Cook French – A Family Cookbook by Claudine Pepin #cuisinonsFrancais

1616c

Let me just start by saying I have enjoyed watching Jacques Pepin cooking on TV and especially loved when he cooked with his daughter Claudine from  when she was a young girl to a women.  I have also seen him cook with his granddaughter too.  So I was so excited to get Let’s Cook French!  Creme Brulee will make the winter so much easier to bear. Am I right? What a great place to start to learn to cook.  There are also Italian and Spanish Cookbooks in the  Let’s Cook series.

The Let’s Cook series from Quarry offers all families the opportunity to discover new languages through well loved menus and recipes – from appetizers and snacks through salads, entrees and desserts – simplified for young and not so young chefs alike.  Each recipe is printed on facing pages – one side in English, the other in the original language – along with extra vocabulary, fun cultural and historical facts, and suggested activities. Illustrated by well-know artists and designers, each book in the Let’s Cook series is a treat for the eye, inviting and engaging eager young cooks.  Love the family photo of Jacques Pepin,  his daughter Claudine and their family.

PO*KE*NO #POKENO

POKENO!

Those are the words you scream out when you get PO*KE*NO!

POKENO is a game we always played every holiday gathering, right after eating our meal, we would pull out the Pokeno boards, set up the cups, get the deck of cards and call game time.  Then we just stopped.  I don’t really know why we stopped but we just stopped calling POKENO.

Until this New Year’s Eve.

My friends brought the game over and right after we called in the new year out came POKENO.

It is easy to get Pokeno and win center but winning four of a kind and four corners, that’s the challenge.  Now ‘thems’ the pots you want to win because these winnings are usually very big.  Oh, did I mention we played for money.

We had so much fun, and playing the game brought back good memories of the past.

Pokeno is easy to play.  Similiar to bingo but for some reason more fun.          Go figure.

Even my granddaughter enjoyed playing NYE night.  We were up till 3 am playing Pokeno.

 POKENO brought us all together.  We laughed.  We screamed out POKENO!  Heck , even my husband joined in the fun,

Of course, the next day I went on Amazon Prime and ordered the game.  So happy I have Pokeno and cannot wait until the next big gathering…let’s see, Easter is coming…cannot wait to say ,” OK, guys, let’s play  POKENO!”563120_10200697498466590_1107567273_n
