  1. If you decide to go out on your own collecting wood just be aware that just because it's a piece of woodland doesn't mean that it isn't privately owned. Having done the full tour of our commune for the revision of the PLU it is surprising how much of undeveloped, wooded land is all privately owned.
  2. The recipe sounds good Dragonrouge, I'll definitely try it out.

    I used my Krups for the first time last night. I made a yoghurt ice-cream with citrus fruits : Greek yoghurt, sugar, and lemon juice (I used lemon, lime, orange and clementine as that was what I had). It was very good and much much better than when I had previously made ice cream 'by hand' and so much better than bought ice-cream that has goodness-knows-what in it!

  3. I was a very lucky girl and got a Macbook Pro for Christmas which comes with Snow Leopard. My first Mac. I'm impressed - it's excellent, every day I'm discovering new things and am amazed at how easy it is to do things. I'm very, very , very happy!
  4. My 15 year old son (very arty/musician etc) buys loads of clothes from the second hand shops in Périgueux.

    When I deposit a couple of sacks of stuff to the Croix Rouge I often come out with a few articles myself. Got a great quality branded 'anorak' for 3€ last time.
  5. As an aside, have you asked for all your categories to be transferred? If not then you will find that you only have the basic category and you will have 'lost' your towing/bike etc categories. A few years ago I had to get my French DL re-issued after speaking to a very nice, understanding lady at the prefecture.
  6. St Môret is the equivalent of Philadelphia though most supermarkets have their own brand version. I don't usually shop at the supermarkets you mention but in the chiller section near the butter there are now numerous creams suitable for whipping unlike a number of years ago when the choice was limited.

  7. I can't recommend my Senseo highly enough. I have been using one for about 3 years since it replaced an expresso machine. I use Lidl's own brand coffee dosettes and it makes a lovely cup of frothy expresso. Whenever friends come they always comment how good the coffee is, including ones that have a very expensive coffee machine that uses the very un-eco-friendly foil pods. For breakfast I heat half a mug of milk in the microwave then put it under the Senseo for the coffee and it makes a superb latté. Excellent product, easy to use, clean, and switches itself off if you forget. The dosettes needn't be expensive either as they are a standard size.
