Unfortunately for me I don't know how to cook, and I especially don't know how to cook fish. Well at least I can have a go at that sorbet - dessert is not cooking.

I'm a big fan of unexpected ice cream flavors. If I could only have one dish of ice cream that had to last me for all eternity, I would have the saffron ice cream from Lala Rokh in Boston. The salmon sounds incredible, too. I'll be trying that one! That sorbet sounds wonderful, and RIGHT up my alley, dessert-wise. I’m a big fan of unexpected ice cream flavors.

Or a barbecue (no garden, just a tiny balcony)? Or a homegrown herb garden (the cat would eat it and then vomit everywhere)? Or a microwave? I guess you're wondering what I do actually have in my kitchen...! Well, here in France gadgets don't seem to be so popular, so I just have 4 gas rings, a small oven and... errmmm... that's it, really. Oh, yeah, a fridge with a dodgy seal and a tiny freezer. Oh, to be a good cook! By the way, I think you handled Chickadee's freak out perfectly - I've done similar things with my younger daughter (4 last April), but there hasn't been much long term effect - just very contrite "I'm sorry, Maman, I love you Maman" at the time, then back to the brattish behaviour later on... This parenting thing sure is tough! Your recipes sound yummy, but what do you do if you don’t have things like a blender or an icecream maker? Or a barbecue (no garden, just a tiny balcony)?
