What does Angelina Jolie have in common with me? Brad Pitt? Same vital statistics? We have the same mom? Well, wrong answers :-)
Do not think that I just shifted my blogging topics into star buzzing but rumor has it circulating that, she gave birth or will give birth to Maternité Etoile, the same hospital in our place where I gave birth. The idea just made me excited. Everybodys talking about the castle of Miraval that the couple bought not far from our area, meaning we're neighbors now. Alright, I don't think you guys are interested so back to regular programming.
Who doesn't love Appetizers and Hors d'oeuvres? Those little things, bite sizes pieces we eat along as we chit chat on interesting topics (such as hollywood gossips? he hehe) and as we drink some cocktails, champagne or liquor. I love preparing them because they often push me to be creative and there are basically no rules, as long as they are bite size. When I heard that Monthly Mingle for the month of June is about appetizers & hors d'oeuvres I knew I needed to share some of my creations I often prepare when I received guests at home. I hope Mansi (of Fun & Food) our lovely host for this month loves goatcheeses because I am sending it to her. Thank you Meeta for creating this delicious event!

I think you need to pack up the baby, a basket of your pastry, and fruit from your garden and stop by the castle to welcome your neighbors. The kids can play as you try to cox Angelina she can afford to have a bite or two!How fun. She reminds me of another American star hwo purchased a chateu in France and adopted a Rainbow tribe. Josephine Baker.

What a great way to enjoy goat cheese!
Hi, I just found your blog and I love it. It's funny because my husband and I also live in the south (although not quite--Les Baronnies/La Drome) and I'm Filipino, too.
The lollipops look wonderful but I think I like the amuse bouche best. The goat cheese around here is really good!
what a vibrate lollipops there!!.Love your creativity!!
Merci pour les mots...
J'adore chevre aussi! This is actually something I tried, but I used medallions of goat cheese. (no sticks) You know Coach leather bags in the US? They also make some pretty good artisanal goat cheese which I used to buy all the time at the Union Square market in NYC. They were sold as individually wrapped 'medallions' and it was easy to just dip them in all sorts of stuff (nuts, peppercorns, herbs etc...
This is a great blog. Babalik ako! A bientot!
You really had me drown this time! lol!
I am sooo making these yummy appetizers, they are so cute!
Maybe I should read the news more often, I didn't even know Angelina was pregnant!
