Salmon pasta (pâtes au saumon).

First, I wanted to show you the cute basket I bought some days ago ...

Tadaaaaa !

I LOVE those kind of little antiques objects. It was used for salad, a long time ago. 

My mother in law told me :

"... Oh ... I've got one million old and awful objects to give you, if you want ! All we wanted to get rid before, now become fashion !"

I have to say that, in France, for some years now, we go back to old values. I mean, for example, old forenames make a glorious come back ! 

We've got a lot of Antoine, Jules, Pierre, Oscar, Léon, Mathilde, Manon, Juliette...etc ... which are very old first name. 

My grand mother told me : "Young, if a boy was called Léon... no chance with me !".

While today, they're very fashion.

For example, my name : Axelle. 

When I was a little girl, no one knew this name. I was the only one at school, for example. 

All my friends were called Stephanie, Nathalie, Virginie ...etc ...

But Axelle ... People used to ask me for many years how I spelt it, or why my mother called me this way ! 

Secret : My mother is passionated by french history, and it was in honor of Axel of Fersen, the Marie-Antoinette's supposed lover.

Well, today, there're 2 or 3 Axel or Axelle in my daughter's school ! 

For the first time in my life ... I'M FASHION !!!

The fun is my daughter's friends reaction. They are 10 years old and I'm almost 40. 

They suddenly realize I'm a precursory !

... Or that they called as an old person ...

Today, I'm going to share with you another pasta recipe.
