Pingu papa's Semaine du Goût

The two weeks were the Semaine du Goût in penguin family. Because of that, pingu papa cooked almost everyday.

Blanquette de veau

Rouelle de porc à la moutarde

Pâtes aux fruits de mer

The sauce was very very delicious. Penguins decided they will cook this one much much often.
 

There were so many sea food. Penguins even could angle many fish and oyster inside. 

Poisson à la Provençale

Inside there were two fishes. Very simple but tasty !

Fondue Bourguignonne

The beef was very delicious. It was the first time that pingu mama ate french hot pot. Penguins also left some beef for Friday. 

The three bowls were the three sauce that pingu papa prepared. Finally, penguins ate too much again. Hope pingu papa can still wear his new shirts and trousers.

Strange October

October was a strange month in penguin family. 

In the beginning of October, pingu mama finished her 608-page book and argued with her ex-boss for the salary successfully. But finally her ex-boss decided not to publish it......

(Pingu mama was so sad .... Her painstaking effort now goes to the stock....)

In the middle of October, a little plant grew up in penguins' kitchen...They found it when they were playing in the sink ..... Until now, they still wonder why it could grow there..

And after one week, the strike was started !! Regarding of the strike, pingu mama didn't need to go to school for four days. During the four days, they watched the TV news everyday. The policemen also drove their helicopter to check what happened in the city.

Pingu papa even moved his big motorbike to the other side of the river to avoid to be broken. 

Oh .... don't hurt my baby motorbike !!

Before the off day, penguins didn't know that at all. But pingu mama had to finish her weekly enquête. Cause pingu mama had to find someone on the street and asked him/her the questions on the fichier. So pingu papa had to disguise himself as a pedestrian. After the enquête, pingu mama also has to  take a photo to prove she really did the homework....

In the beginning, pingu papa felt very funny to answer the questions. But finally he felt almost crazy cause there were too many questions and it took about one hour to answer it ! Haha, poor pingu papa. See this picture! Pingu papa looked so bored... He said "The questions are so boring. If you ask someone on the street, I think he/she will beat you !! "

But the only happy thing is that pingu papa can only answer the enquête one time. That means that pingu mama has to find someone else next time. In order not to be beat, the next person will be SEB when he visits penguin family. Hope he will behave well for the one-hour enquête ! 

YES ! IT'S YOU !

Beaujolais

Pingu papa and pingu mama went to Beaujolais before the end of the summer. On the way to Beaujolais, the scenery was very beautiful.

At noon, they also had a stop at Pingu papa's previous house. It is a very big house !! Pingu papa said everything here changed a lot. It's not very easy for pingu mama to understand cause pingu mama has not reached his age.

After the house visit, they rode to Beaujolais and found a place for picnic.  

 

Pingu papa also took two little grapes for tasting during their picnic.

 

The picnic was so good that they almost forgot where they were.

And penguins were going to have a little nap.  zzzZZZ.....

Suddenly penguins were awake and pingu mama said:  "No, it's not the time for sleep !!" Thus, penguins rode their motorbike to find the wine village.

During their motorway, pingu papa often asked pingu mama to do something dangerous....Pingu papa was really very strange...

Even penguins saw many beautiful places, but they still could not find the red wine village. Finally they decided to ask a pedestrian dog. Fortunately, this dog was very friendly and led penguins to the red wine village.

After five minutes, they really arrived !! Thanks to the kind dog !!

Then pingu papa and pingu mama knocked the door and talked to the guy in the beaujolais villages.They tasted three kinds of red wines together and then bought two of them.

On the way back home, they met the horses again cause pingu papa got lost.

The weather was very nice, but pingu mama wanted to siao bian very much.. so they were in a hurry to drive home as soon as possible.

Beautiful life

Last Monday, pingu papa made a pie, salad and tomates farcies au thon. 

Pingu mama likes tomates farcies au thon very much. Haha !! Pingu mama always likes everything with tomates. 

Cause penguins didn't eat salad for a long time. This day they were very happy to eat many salad again. The salad was the remaining material from their sandwiches for beaujolais. 

They also left some pie for the lunch with pingu mama in the school.

And then had a colorline competition !! 

Pingu mama cooked french soup !!!

Since last time pingu mama cooked 粥 and pingu papa didn't seem very interested in 粥, pingu mama decided to cook something different. 

Here is the 粥 that pingu papa said it needed to be salted a lot... 

The "something different" that pingu mama cooked this time was FRENCH SOUP ! 

Pingu mama used the following materials: a bottle of milk,  chicken soup cube (we only have beef soup cube), mushrooms, ham dices, corn, eggs, flour, butter, cheese, salt.

Then pingu mama heated the butter and milk with beef soup cube in the cooker. (cannot stop stirring) After there're some foam on the milk, put mushrooms,  corn, ham dices, eggs in order. While everything is well cooked, add the egg drop and cheeses. Finally add salt and add the flour with cold water. Keep stirring from beginning to end. 

Normally, it should look like this one: 

But actually it is:

But it really tasted very very good !!! Ping mama cooked the soup for two dinners but pingu papa and pingu mama finished it in ONE dinner !! Although pingu mama cooked french soup for the first time, but it was really a big success !! 

New door couplet

 

Today pingu mama changed the door couplet from 新居落成 (settled down in new home) to 財源滾滾 (profits pouring in from all sides).  This one is much much easier for pingu papa to remember how to speak it cause there are only three voices! Let's speak it : caiˊ  yuanˊ  gunˇ  gunˇ ！！

愛屋及屋

In Chinese, we say "愛屋及烏" which means when you love someone, you love his/her everything. Here we can check who doesn't follow this rule under the situation of "愛屋及烏" in penguin family.

Case 1: When pingu papa releases a chou pi, pingu mama only says "chou pi" but still stays with pingu papa.

Case 2: When pingu mama releases a chou pi, pingu papa usually says "It's time for cigarette"....

Regarding the above cases, we have the following result :
