I do not know the word fève until yesterday while researching about the galette des rois. You would be able to integrate very fast if you ever move here. :-)<BR/><BR/>Huguito,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link. Well, I don't bake much, I shall pass show hubby the recipe of Bolo rei and let him bake for me. :-)Bee Eanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13860357505146690089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525395.post-76146088724797655612009-01-12T18:57:00.000+01:002009-01-12T18:57:00.000+01:00Oh, we also have a similar cake here in Portugal, we call it Bolo-Rei which translated from English is King cake<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_ReiHuguitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13416894655480608319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525395.post-52661682751811330852009-01-12T16:00:00.000+01:002009-01-12T16:00:00.000+01:00that feve is really BIG?!?!?!poponabothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230558482164336999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525395.post-4093531656069400462009-01-12T15:19:00.000+01:002009-01-12T15:19:00.000+01:00hey i remember having the epiphany cake too! i got the crown but was a hard bite on my molars :S<BR/><BR/>bee ean, can you pls drop me a line at sherine.wong@gmail.com? would like to ask you more about the paperwork for registration of marriage, ie. which documents did you provide and where did you get the documents from etc. <BR/><BR/>we wanna get the paperwork sorted out in order to confirm our date with fiance's town hall in bourg les valence come june. <BR/><BR/>looking forward to your email. <BR/><BR/>p.s. cultural difference of the week: i had to explain to fiance how we'd usually begin with verbal invitation, only to follow-up with formal invitation after the guest has indicated that he'll turn up for the wedding dinner. "so as not to make guests feel obliged to give angpow when they're unable to attend the wedding."Sherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05013491888026269143noreply@blogger.com
