Fiesta a la Casa Del Sole
January 2005
Casa Del Sole is the name of the residence where we stayed when we were
in Nouméa. As said in this page,
the appartment we had was very nice. Fully equiped, very roomy,
incredible view, well located, and very cheap. Because part of our stay
in New Caledonia was spent away from Nouméa, and because my Mom's sister
joined us a week after we arrived, we later changed the appartment for a
bigger one, with an extra bedroom, but this time we couldn't get a view.
If you go to the Casa Del Sole web page, you would see that it is
located in front of the "Baie des Citrons", that it is close to the
equally beautiful "Anse Vata".
All pictures are available either in tar
or zip formats. Also available is a tar
archive of the original pictures,
before being reworked (these are actually the same).
Note that the tarballs
contain all the pictures I took, not just the ones I present
on this page.

"Appéro" with some Friends |

From top to bottom, left to right: Mom, Stéphane, ???, Maguy, Hélène.

Stéphane loves cooking. And, as he says, he has 5 years of experience
not just *working* in hotels, but rather *living* in hotels. So he
learnt a lot not just in his fields. That's how he ended up kneading
some bread with the Pastry Chef for instance. One of the recipes he
learnt was "Croustillant de crevettes", which he prepared for us one
evening...
|
|
The "Croustillant de crevette" is made with a prawn rolled inside a thin
sheet of asian wrap with a bit of mint inside. It's then very lightly
deep fried. It is served warm, dressed with a balsamic vinegar reduction
and a light mango cream (mayonaise home-made by yours truly, and mango
puree).

As we say in French: Miam Miam! (Yummy!)
