Friday- I spent most of the morning reading and then cooking in the afternoon. My neighbour planned to host a curry chicken/Stanley cup watching party for some Habs fans and one Pens fan. I volunteered to make the chicken and decided to try making the naan bread again, hoping that I could get it to be a little more fluffy than last time. It is a rather labour intensive bread, many steps but very worthwhile. I decided to put a bit of chopped onion in addition to the garlic. Tasted great.
Maxime was hanging out at the house when I was doing the naan and chicken, like a chicken with my head cut off. Running between the table and stove working on the different parts of the meal. It was fun, but made me sure that I wouldn't want to ever own my own restaurant! I asked Max if she wouldn't mind being my photo of the day and she graciously accepted.
I've known Maxime since my first year here in GR. Her family was my neighbour at my first apartment. I don't really remember her much from back then, she was probably in grade three at that point. Over the last couple of years however, we've had a chance to get to know each other and she is a really fantastic girl. She has LOTS of interests- sports(ie. snowboarding), arts (ie. SINGING(wow!!), visual art, dancing, music); simply put I rarely see her without something that is exciting happening to her or with her. She is a good student, although I haven't taught her since she is in French. It will be sad for lots of people next year because her family is moving to another community to work in another school, and she will be completing her last two years of school before CEGEP at a school in Montreal. I am sure she is both sad about leaving her friends and excited about the incredible opportunities that she has ahead of her. She will definitely never be forgotten by many people she has touched here in town. She has a way of making us laugh (sometimes in unplanned ways involving water- hehehe) and feel good. I had to post two pics- one because of her beautiful eyes, which I didn't capture very well in the shot- they are a piercing green- and I didn't realize how much like her mom's they are until I cropped this picture!! Freaky! Enjoy!!
