Total Amount Of Guests : 40+

You have mom, dad, Tatie, tante micheline, ton ton bob, uncle jean-pierre, grandma, extra family members you never knew you had until you went to your grand tante Evelyn's funeral last month and the extended unknown family has been invited over, cousins you never knew about, then your cousin is dating a coco rat and he tries to sneak her I'm but grandma not having it

Total amount of guests : now at 50+

- Invited for 4 pm - nobody shows up until 7 pm because they were still cooking

- Dinner was suppose to start at 6 pm but food isn't ready and nobody's there yet

- tante micheline who's suppose to bring the macaroni au gratin said its still in the oven

- by the time tante mi-mi comes with the macaroni you have to warm up the 18 trays of food that's there on the table

- Dinner is finally served by 9 pm

- Your grandma says, "oh ti cherie al priye pou manje, you'll make grandma very happy". You know you wrong because you've been sneaking liquor with your older cousins and you shouldn't pray while your tipsy. The prayer cant be too long or too short because the whole family, tatie ghisline & neg blan leglise are watching; don't embarass your parents because when you get home that belt is yours.

- your got so tipsy because the chiquetaille & pate were so pique, you thought the alcohol would help but nope that didn't happen ( why do Haitians kill food with piment, then you can't even eat it)

- Everybody goes for round 2 (while your getting round 2 you try to do it behind grandmas back because then your eating too much your going to get fat but when Christmas comes around your too skinny)

- Dessert begins around 1030pm

- before you get to eat cake your mom has to make sure to save some gateux anana in papier aluminum but by the time you can actually have a slice cake there's only a sliver left

- Blasting kompa until everybody leaves then you forgot you drove your uncle who's drunk on the sofa and of course he lives 45 minutes in the opposite direction of you

- you run back inside for the turkey & jambon zo pou fe soup joumou oswa boullon

Your family never forgets the Tupperware or they ask you for plateau plastic (knowing we use the good china for holidays) You never give away your own Tupperware because you'll never get it back.

Haitian women can fold foil into the most durable to go container. They always have to bring a plate for their friend at work that you've never met.

Your cousins mennaj ki sanble yon coco rat tries to get the last piece of gateux but everybody knows that's for grandma in the morning pou bwe ak cafe. She almost lost her life that Thanksgiving evening

Compote de pommes pour Ma Brasserie

(Octobre 2019)

1- Couper beaucoup de pommes en petits morceaux

2- Mettez-les dans un grand chaudron et faites couler l’eau jusqu’à ce qu’il y en ait au ⅓-½ pas plus. Ça pourrait même être moins.

3- Crissez-y les diverses poudres suivantes en ordre décroissant d’importance:

Sucre (beaucoup)

Canelle (quand même beaucoup)

Clou de giroffe (une tout petite pincée)

4- Mettez le feu au max, jusqu’à ce que ça bouille. Ensuite, laissez mijoter à feu doux pendant une vingtaine de minutes, ou jusqu’à ce que les pommes soient bien tendres. Ajustez l’assaisonnement au goût.

5- Égouttez les pommes (gardez le jus pour d’autres recettes!!). Laissez-les refroidir un boutte.

6- Passez-les au vitamix. Ou à la giraffe. Rajoutez un peu de sirop d’érable, si vous vous sentez festifs.

7- Enjoy! Mais pas trop, faut quand même en laisser pour les brownies.

Voilà tout! Bonne soirée à tous
