For our picnic of the 15th, I prepared these easy glasses, one for everyone, filled with a soft nougat mousse.
I followed this recipe (using milk instead of whipping cream and a tube of chocolate - this one exactly - to write the '15' instead of dark chocolate to garnish). The mousse doesn't need to be cold, when eaten. It's a semifreddo that means halfcold. So I stored my glasses in the fridge, until the moment we leaved, and I carried them in a picnic thermo bag - like this.

ps :  instead of plastic cups, I used glasses, even if heavier, because they make me feel cared for and because I obliged my husband to carry the bag.

The Sommerhaus PIU is a prefabricated wooden house with a modern design. It is simple, elegant and versatile. The house is suitable as a holiday home, or as a permanent residence with every comfort and beautiful finishings. It has been designed by Patrick Frey and Björn Götte. This is what is missing from my life. Got to work on it.

Taking some time and planning things I might need before heading to Megève, make me feel already there!
01: Waterproof trekking boots - The North Face | 02: The new stylish SIGG Thermo line - Winner of the Red Dot Award 2014 for global excellence in product design - the collection offers four sizes and two different types: mugs with a capacity of 0.3L and 0.5L, equipped with a removable tea filter,or bottles available in 0.75L and 1.0L, coming with a convenient cup.
I can't decide between them - even if I'm a coffee rather than tea lover, the fact to use such a smart mug could make me drink more tea for a week or two (and that's good for my health). Am I so superficial?
03: Sunscreen face and body emulsion yoghurt - Korres | 04: Charade! The movie begins in Megève (only the early minutes) and it's always so great. I will look for a dvd. In the meantime, this is just the beginning: first + second clip from youtube.
