"MA GALETTE DES ROIS" BECAUSE I AM A QUEEN

ALMOST ONE MONTH THAT I DID MY LAST POST THIS NEW JOB IS SO SO INTENSE THAT I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.
THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO ONLY FOCUS ON ONE LEARNER MUST HAVE MAKE THINGS MORE EASIER BUT I DID NOT SPECULATE WHAT WAS COMING.

 SO NOW I AM QUITE SURPRISED OF THE ENERGY THAT I HAVE TO SPEND ON ONE PERSON. DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS I JUST REST SLEEP AND REST.
 AND I HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAS LIVING IN FRANCE THERE WAS ONE TRADITION THAT I REALLY REALLY MISSED. IT IS CALLED " LA GALETTE DES ROIS " ( KING'S CAKE ).

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FRENCH OR LIVE THERE THEY KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

AFTER CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE THERE IS A TRADITION WHERE WE CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT WHEN JESUS WAS BORN 3 KINGS  CAME TO OFFER HIM SOME PRESENTS. OK YOU KNOW THE STORY.

SO IN FRANCE THEY ARE MAKING A CAKE THAT THEY CALLED "GALETTE" IT IS MADE OF PUFF PASTRY AND ALMOND CREAM PLUS A LITTLE FIGURINE THAT YOU DO NOT EAT.
SO WHEN YOU ARE INVITING  YOUR FAMILY  AND EAT IT THE ONE WHO GETS THE FIGURINE  ( WHICH REPRESENT A BABY JESUS OR THE VIRGIN MARY) BECAME A KING OR QUEEN  AND THAT PERSON CAN WEAR A CROWN SOLD WITH THE CAKE.

WE DRINK IT WITH APPLE JUICE/CIDER  OR CHAMPAGNE. IT IS VERY POPULAR IN FRANCE AND I REMEMBER THAT AS A CHILD IN SCHOOL WE WERE ALL WISHING TO GET "LA FEVE" AND GET THE CROWN THAT YOU WILL WEAR ALL DAY LONG.

THIS YEAR I HAD  A HUGE NEED TO EAT AGAIN MY GALETTE SO MY BROTHER SENT ME TWO. AND YES I GOT "LA  FEVE AGAIN. AND I  BECAME A QUEEN AGAIN LIKE I USED TO BE ANY WAY. LOL
