153 - In the restaurant here, takes its gas!

I can not resist the urge to tell our story from last night ...
We went to the restaurant, the schooner, for not naming him, to mark two anniversaries.
There are several tables occupied and we, we are four. We'll order ...
So far so good, it gives us an aperitif. Then ... nothing ...
After "some time", the server has to tell us that they flew their gas cylinders and they can not cook!


Even if we are in a department "A little prehistoric," this may be hard to do without!

Desperate times, desperate measures, it still does not leave here without dinner!
Dominica offers them to go get at home.

Fifteen, twenty minutes later, the two men are back and give the bottle to cook.
In fact, it was not a flight!
They had just finished their bottles and did not have advance!


must be in Guyana to see that!


At the end of the meal, they gave us back our bottle and told us he had not used a lot!
But they still offered us a drink.


We must go back in two weeks for another birthday. We call ahead to see if we should bring its gas !!!!!!!!!

What Is The Best Size For Scanning Slides

152 - laborious, these small red flies ...

It has been several weeks that we are fighting against a nest of flies (wasps?) Who makes his home under the house. We have repeatedly closed their "doors" with with spackle. Nothing helps. Very quickly, it eats up the coating and rebuilding their nest.

Some mornings, we are invaded by a cloud of these insects flying red walks around the deck. It's impressive. Fortunately, they do not sting. And besides, they are not at all on the terrace or in the house. But anyway!

We do not see much in the picture, but believe me, there are thousands.


We'll try this time to condemn the entrance of the squat with cement. Continued ...

151 - February watered.

past four and a half years that we're here, I've never been so "cold"! 21 to 23 and 27 ° in the morning, 28 degrees around noon. For a while, I'd better like many here. I would put out a "sweater" ... except I did not!

Last night, Dominic said, on entering the room: "Gee, the air conditioning does not work!" Except it was only in the warmer room, with air conditioning (we Let's get to 25 °) than in the living room completely open to the garden ...
A shame! He took down the air conditioning to 24 degrees (I was cold at night!) For the sole purpose of draining a little air from the room because it's obviously the rain falling in torrents, that We owe these temperatures "winter"!

This month of February is in fact particularly well watered. And not only water but also with champagne! (We have many birthdays to celebrate ... Do, JM, F, C, Ph, M.!)

After the history and symbols, eating and drinking!

Sugarcane arrived in Louisiana in 1751: the Jesuits, known for their indulgence in planted next to their church in a corner of the Vieux Carré. Soon the first commercial plantings swarmed on the outskirts of the city. In 1795, a Etienne de Bore, the king's musketeer born in Illinois and raised in France, he developed the industrial grit of the sugar plantation in the west of the city where Today is ... Audubon Park! Hence the beautiful oak lined recessed Magazine Street.


Its industrial and commercial successes earned Boré to become the first mayor of New Orleans, appointed by Governor Claiborne just after the Louisiana Purchase by Thomas Jefferson.
The rise of the cane in Louisiana is largely due to the Haitian revolution of 1791 and the thousands of slaves who killed themselves to the task in places like this:


They were more or less protected by Code Black, which recognizing a soul prevented at least treat them like animals ...

Today, Louisiana is one of the top producing states of the U.S. sugar cane: the venerable American Sugarcane League (est. 1922) informs us in one of its platelets that 20% of U.S. sugar cane is produced here. The industry generates 1.7 billion dollars in annual revenue and employs over 27,000 people. However, the subtropical climate is not ideal for cane and she resists his Central American counterparts at the cost of protectionism and a fanatical policy of subsidies to large scale.
Louisiana Sugar is also very good:
The Chalmette refinery sugar is still the largest in North America located on a bend of the Mississippi, it looks lazy flowing river for over a century .


The rise of sugar in the Nord-pas-de-Calais was in roughly the same time. Again, the great Napoleon changed the course of history. Wanting to weaken the perfidious Albion, he established the continental blockade to prevent the English from trading with Europe. Maritime trade off, you can not buy sugar from America! Hence the work Benjamin Delessert contractor under the empire, which succeeded in extracting sugar from beet. The plant, saving, already cultivated in Northern France, was sanctified by the emperor who decided to devote as dry 32,000 hectares of farmland (Order 1811).


Delessert met the guy and certainly Franklin Watts. He also introduced in France the savings bank and set up the Livret A.

The good beet had to fight hard against his noble rival American and she really needed to succeed from the abolition of slavery by the Second Republic: the slaves coûtèrent much more expensive once they have become farm workers! Today, the beet itself as a major crop throughout the northern part of France: the site Labetterave.com us that the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardie are the two largest producing regions. Through it, France is the leading European producer of sugar! Yippee! It's true that white sugar is strangely worse than cane sugar ...


brand Beghin-Say, well known by all the confectioners, is originire Northern Department: it originates in the candy Thumeries, founded in 1821. It was bought by the nineteenth century Béghin then merges with Say in 1973. In 2004 it merged with Union SDA again and became the multinational Tereos whose headquarters ... Lille! With pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and farm machinery of all kinds, Tereos produces sugar, alcohol and biofuel worldwide. Re-Yippee!

There is another common food production in two regions: the beer. While our friends in the Sticks would be sickened to see compared with Louisiana: their land is covered with small breweries as diverse than authentic.

However, we can say without too much advance than beer Local Louisiana plays the same role as the local beer from the North: it is an omnipresent point of reference. Each bar is the Abita draft (pressure) and can be ordered in a bottle in each restaurant. The most common version is the redhead Amber , but there are also the wonderful Preservation Pale Ale, Golden, the Jacomo, the Purple Haze and brown Tuborg. Abita also produces five seasonal beers: Bock, Red, Wheat, Fall Fest and Christmas, and three beers scented Strawberry, Pecan, Satsuma. The light version is drunk at game parties. All beers are brewed Abita Springs, just north of Lake Pontchartrain.

Among Cajuns, we also discovered the Pale THE 31 Beer, brewed on the banks of Bayou Teche. It is a cloudy white beer more bitter than its counterparts in Belgium.

Then of course there are many more different beers in the north, but still it was worth talking about as the Abita Amber is common in our tropical latitudes. That said, the Red Stripe Jamaica remains one of the best blondes on sale in the area ...

We invited to the 60 years of a friend who lives in "Angouleme". It is a wonderful site that I've already visited:

... but we never tire of it so beautiful. His property overlooks a bend in the river Mana. This is done by a forest track 4 to 5 km. We are 50 km of St Lawrence.

Mary is passionate about plants. His garden is a delight to the eyes.

orchids ...

Her house is all wood from Guyana.

We hang our hammocks with other guests.

makeshift roofs are installed above the tables because we are in the rainy season ...

Preparations in full swing ...

Women in the kitchen ...

A man with a sound system ...

And the fun begins ...

is also the feast the frog. Mary loves these little frogs. She found three in the evening that came to stay in the kitchen.

Besides, it rains so much that we need every 5 minutes to empty the pockets of water formed on canvas, lest they collapse. Good laugh about ...

To your Health, Maryse! And Happy Birthday.

Good humor is a must.

And around 3am, everyone in bed!

wake up, the sight of the hut is beautiful.

Around 9:30, four of us leave for a walk in the forest with Didier ... and GPS. He takes us to a creek that he discovered and named it "slides".

dogs Maryse, ALBERT CAROLUS and follow us. They do not want to miss the opportunity to hunt in the forest.

... but where is Carolus?

soon as we enter the forest, it is very dark. The sky is overcast and the canopy does not let much light.

Some flowers are still enliven the journey.

We admire the majestic trees: Kimboto, Wacapou, cigar-Maho, Maho red palm all genres some of which are very pungent. Dominique made the painful experience by taking foot in a root and spreading it ...

We arrive at the creek. It runs on a very long slide of granite. The water is very clear and very refreshing.

We are resting for a while and ....

After three hours of walking, we find Maryse and other guests in a field near the giblets

We quickly abandon their tasting of foie gras ... And yes, it is self-indulgent, even in the woods!

We return to the main track but the track we loupons Creek Didier much shortening the path to the house. While we were enjoying the passage of friends who also come to the party. I go to the cabin and Dominique goes to the back of the pickup. "Bonne chance," my faith, because there was still some way to go.

Many new guests arrive gradually and we trust in table.

Maryse, excellent cook prepared us lots of good things. Some of us also participated in providing our personal touch. Cream cupuaçu, chocolate mousse, cake, chocolate cake ... For me, of course, far breton , Breton cake (with wax), coconut rocks (with white !)...

We almost remain stuck in place because a tree fell on the runway.

All men "valid" start with a chainsaw to clear it.

We return, we, before the night after a last time and with Mary, do a little turn in the forest because she wanted to show us a beautiful orchid ready to bloom and a very beautiful tree.

Thank you, Mary for this wonderful gastronomic weekend, full of encounters, and friendship.
