What is a snowy Sunday without a bit of a treat to end the weekend? Growing up, the weekends were always busy. We would usually go to my grandparents house in the Laurentiens where in the winter, I spent my days outside snowmobiling. I would only come in to warm up and have a meal. I loved being at my grandparents' - skating on the lake, sliding on the km long slide all the way down the lake, playing with the dogs, the endless stream of guests who would stop by at my grandparents. They represented the definition of hospitability to me. They made everyone feel so welcome.
I also enjoyed going home to the calm of my home in St-Bruno where we would spend the rest of the Sunday relaxing by the fireplace, watching some NFL games and indulging in some comfort French-Canadian food my mum would make.... and the meal always ended with a dessert!
I try to keep this kind of Sunday with my children. They are such busy teenagers and it is nice to find time together on Sundays. I try to make a special dessert to end our weekend. I made this cake as a Christmas log last year and decided to make it as a cake. I did not have the white chocolate to make the curls to decorate it but I had maple crumbs and raspberries. I used Ricardo's recipe again - perfection!
