Ragoût de pattes de cochon! Did you make it with the meatballs?

My mother makes it, I haven't.  But I do plan to get the recipe, because I'd like to keep the tradition going.  And yes, it has both the meatballs and the meat.  :lick:  The flour to thicken the stew is browned in the pot before being added later on (but not like a roux, which requires oil or butter).  It's part of the secret.

Ragoût de pattes de cochon!     Recipe needed please. Last pigs feet I have had were with lentiile de Puy and before that with Butter beans and hot peppers

I will get the recipe and post when I get back.   :)

Elliot is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa, and Arianwen has just started crawling everywhere.  Christmas will be great with the kids this year, although we are not buying each other much.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Nothing is better the watching children from about 3 - 6 opening gifts   
To watch their faces is a great joy :)

Yup, that's the best part.

OMG!  My former partner used to make this.  It was awesome. 

An early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.  I am in London UK for the holidays, taking a nice break from Sarajevo, where no one really celebrates Christmas.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...
