<------------------------
This video from MOF Henri Granier explains how to use a baker's couche and how to take care of it.

The Mysterious Thrift Find

While doing this work, I had in my head this song that my colleagues (all male) put to gently taunt me--------->

I would like to explore the question of gender in kitchen and baking professions (when it is the woman who does it, it is a task vs when it is the man, a profession) ...

My First Cocoon

my sedative language / makes my attitude passive / discret bruise / suddenly explodes (...)

Couches, in French, usually means either diapers or sheets (in very old French). Definitely an evidence proving that baker's couche are from another era!

During my research, I came across several articles about Lebanese fashion designers. I didn't know they were so many and important!

As I grew up in several different countries, I had the chance to all possible Christmas traditions. I must say that the Christmas stocking is one of my favorites

The layout of this article leaves me in doubt that it really comes from the office of the Quebec Government Office of the French language ... There is even a song playing while you look at the website!

While remaining in the theme of the history of knitting in Quebec, I would like to see the new statistics after the pandemic!!

The clash of these two videos is striking. I would love to see the reaction of the companies that own the plantations if we told them about Chlordecon, as in the documentary on the textile industries in India!

This website shows how to determine the age of a carpet! If it was a peer-reviewed source, I certainly would have used it!
