As many of you know, John and I enjoy cooking. We’re always up to trying out a new recipe! In France it’s a tradition to eat la Galette des Rois (the King’s cake) in January. Each galette, made of frangipane or almond-flavored paste, has une fève (a small trinket) hidden inside. Whoever’s piece of cake has la fève is the King or Queen and gets to the wear the crown (yes, a crown comes with the galette when you buy it and yes, you actually have to wear the crown). Tonight John made his own Galette des Rois from scratch with une fève and all! As the youngest person, I had to call out a name to decide who got each slice. I suppose that worked in my favor because I found la fève and was queen. I didn’t follow the tradition exactly because I didn’t pick my king, though I think it’s safe for you all to guess who my king is… and no it was not Oscar!
