Well, let us ring in the New Year with a laugh. Thank you, Daniel, who sends me funnies all the time, for this one.
I must admit that when mama or papa scratches me…er…near my tail, I go into paroxysms of joy, whatever they are. But I go into them.
Now, dear readers, please have a safe and bubbly new year with nice things to munch and good friends and family to chat with and share all the adventures of 2017. Mine, I think I’ll put in the forget box I keep after woo-woo ship trips! Then when it’s full, I throw it away. It also works for any bad feelings you have or hurts or upsets or angers or irritations. Just pick out a nice BIG box in your imagination, make it a nice color, with a lid, and when you have any of those feelings mentioned, just throw them in the box and go on about your day, smiling if possible.
Then when it’s full (and full is okay, we’re not judging here on quantity or quality!), just toss it somewhere as in off a cliff, into the sea from a high place, off a woo-woo boat or just over your shoulder. It will magically disappear and your load will be lighter. A lighter year to all from mama, papa and me.
A happy and joyful new year to all. Toast in moderation (no, no silly, NOT bread, bubbles!) and drive carefully to your welcome slumber.

And speaking of bread, mama was one of the bakers featured in the magnificent SIX volumes of MODERNIST BREAD, some of the most beautiful books on bread and baking ever to be published. She found the volumes (50 lbs!) on our doorstep when we returned and almost fainted…luckily, papa and I caught her.
Wow ! 6 volumes on bread ? I would enjoy trying to eat my way through that ! We had a peaceful New Year except it was 0 degrees F and is supposed to be below 20 F(C? I wish !) for the HIGH all week ! Brr !
Oh, and here it was about 65-70 today with warm winds from Spain. But it could snow tomorrow, it’s so weird.
Happy Happy Mew Year!!
Congratulations on being featured in 6-vol bread tomb! And Happy New Year…keep the LouLou fun coming! xoxo Peggy

Happy New Year to you and your peeps, Loulou! How cool that your mama’s bread baking is featured in that book series.
Well, she was bowled over, that’s for sure. It got a rise out of her, haha.
Yee-HA!!!!! Mama and Papa are thrilled with the accolades – and recognition – IN PRINT – in such a prestigious source for all in the world of cuisine!! Your mama will be a part of history. Lucky Loulou. My mama thinks baking bread means putting it in the toaster!! Arrrrgh. Thank goodness for all the wonderful boulangeries in the hood…..
Speaking of food, we put Tata Maria on the plane this morning. Au revoir all the treats sneaked under the table. BUT she’s coming back to live in Nice this year!! YIPPEE!!!
Well, now I know that treats under the table are permitted, haha. Don’t worry, mama will always ask YOUR mama…I think.
