The recipe we use for Tartiflette, from Marmiton.org

La vraie Tartiflette
Plat principal
Très facile :
Bon marché :
Préparation : 15 min
Cuisson : 1 h
Ingrédients (pour 4 personnes) :
- 1 kg de pommes de terre
- 200 g de lardons fumés
- 200 g d'oignons émincés
- 1 reblochon bien fait (lorsqu'on appuie sur le côté du reblochon, le doigt doit s'enfoncer un peu)
- huile (2 cuillères à soupe)
- ail, sel, poivre
Préparation :
Eplucher les pommes de terre, les couper en dés, bien les rincer, et les essuyer dans un torchon propre.
Faire chauffer l'huile dans une poêle, pour y faire fondre les oignons; rajouter ensuite les pommes de terre.
Faire dorer tous les côtés des dés de pommes de terre, rajouter les lardons, et finir de cuire.
D'autre part, gratter la croûte du reblochon et le couper en deux (ou en quatre).
Préparer un plat à gratin en frottant le fond et les bords avec de l'ail.
Préchauffer le four à 200°C (thermostat 6-7).
Dans le plat à gratin, verser une couche de pommes de terre aux lardons, disposer dessus la moitié du reblochon, puis de nouveau des pommes de terre.
Terminer avec le reste du reblochon (croûte vers les pommes de terre), et enfourner pendant environ 20 min.
Bien surveiller, pour éviter que le fromage ne rende trop de gras.

This is one of the reasons I miss having an oven chez moi, like I did last year.

Can't you get one of those cheap posable ones ? Or a combination Microwave / chaleur tournante ? (That's what we have)

Always beware of recipies with "vrai" or "véritable" in the title. If it adds "seul", don't even consider it. There must be as many "vrai" tartiflette recipies as people. The only "véritable" recipie is a faily secret. Being from la Savoie, I have the privilege to know it. But I won't tell you or I'd have to kill you.

We were not seduced by the "vrai".
We were drawn by the simplicity of the ingredients.
And it makes a nice tartiflette, ça c'est vrai !

A quick trick by an expert: to make it even faster you can use those precut frozen potatoes.

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor...

Good news from my sermon buddy

Yesterday we went over my script from August 13. There really wasn't much she had taken exception to. Once or twice she wondered quite what I was getting at (they had the same problem at Deeside, I think...) and I do have difficulties with the word " de ", but then she said "Who doesn't?" So I felt very encouraged. I also took the opportunity to ask her about one or two things: 1) Direct preaching. Like I used to in Britain, I preach saying you - using "vous" when I am talking to the whole wide world and "tu" when I want it to feel as if I am addressing each person individually. French preachers tend to say rather "What will we do, what will one do". So I asked her if she felt my way was too direct, too brutal for the French ear. She said "I think you can get away with it with your English accent". In fact several people have commented on how much they appreciated being spoken to directly in preaching. 2) Liaisons Last...

A brief sortie to North Wales

 Following the Great Keswick Debacle, when our volunteering at the Keswick café was sabotaged by our assorted indispositions, we had airline tickets to use up. Yes, we had not taken travel insurance, so we paid even more money to change our tickets to fly for a short visit to North Wales. This time we were able to go. We passed extremely slowly through a very crowded Bordeaux airport but in good time to get our plane. All seats in the terminal were taken so we leaned against whatever we could find while waiting to board. Hey, bags need seats, too! though sometimes pointing out to Pat, "No, that's a bag seat", makes the bag find a new refuge on the lap of the person sitting next to it... Once on the plane we quickly found our allocated seats - right at the back on the left hand side - stowed our bags and the flight was smooth and uneventful.  We had 30 minutes in Manchester to disembark, get through immigration , hustle off to the station and board our train for Shotton. I...
