Rufine is a Happy Fish from Bretagne. She just told me she wants to move far away, but doesn't know where yet. If you think you could adopt her, just leave a comment below and tell me how you like to eat your crêpes :)
Answer before Sunday 24th, 11:00 pm GMT, and I will pick someone at random. Good luck!
(see her friends here)
how nice, flora! i would love to meet a happy fish from bretagne here in vienna. and her name is so beautiful :) i love savory crepes, for example with salmon, cheese, dill and egg. there are some really nice restaurants in vienna which offer delicious crepes. i'm getting hungry right now!
ReplyDeleteRufine's smile is very happy. I like to eat my crepes filled with a little bit of a really strong cheese :)
ReplyDeleteHi Flora, I think Rufine could live here in Germany with me! I like galettes with eggs and crêpes with egg liqueur … hopefully, that is what Rufine likes, too :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, she is lovely and makes crepes too?! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, we have a nice warm (in summer) little stream just across the road, with dragonflies and frogs and yellow irises. Do you think she would like to live here, please ask her!
So sometimes she could come over and we would have our crepes with freshly squeezed lemon and some sugar on top!
Thank you, Flora, you are so funny!
Mon dieu, je la croyais déjà partie de votre chez vous ! (en fait c'est juste que le store qui était fermé)
ReplyDeleteEn tout cas si le hasard tombe sur moi, je l'emmène dans 2 semaines.
J'aime bien les bretonnes qui migrent dans le Nord de la France, je m'en occupe bien !
Surtout celles qui me font de vraies galettes avec du lait ribot ;)
Qu'elle est jolie, Rufine, avec son petit col en dentelle!
ReplyDeleteJ'ai la chance d'habiter le pays du sirop d'érable, alors je ne me prive pas pour en arroser mes crêpes...
Hi, Flora!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for a month now and have to say it's really interesting and funny and I love your happy fish. I think that Rufine would be very happy to share a room with my six months old daughter Mia Ana who's gentle and nice and smiles all the time. Btw ... I love crepes with maple syrup and home made vanilla ice cream. Wish you and your family all the best in 2010!
Paris is not so far, but maybe she would like to go on holidays in Italy ? I am sure she would love the coast of Puglia, it is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs for the crepes, there is nothing better than melted butter and sugar.
Your blog is a real daily pleasure, thanks :-)

A nice fish... Would a bretonne survive in Germany, or is it too far from the ocean? I like my crepes with melted butter, sugar and some fresh lemon juice.
ReplyDeleteoh how i'd love to welcome rufine into my home! she'd be best friends with "sharkey", my beloved shark stuffed animal who will never leave me, even though i am fully grown. not that i had him when i was young, i bought him at age 22. anyway!
ReplyDeletei love crepes involving a little bit of chocolate in some way. truth be told, i don't get to eat crepes nearly as often as i'd like... they aren't very prevalent in my section of the US - this fact is very displeasing to me. the only crepes you can find are dessert-ish crepes... i'd love an opportunity to try more savory options.
A cutie! I didn't know your fish were so big, just recently found out!
ReplyDeleteSalty crepes or sugary crepes? I love both! Salty crepes with creme fraiche, salmon and a little bit of dill. Sugary crepes with chocolate and banana... Mmm Just thinking of crepes makes me all hungry!
Ah ! Justement, Gudule aurait bien besoin d'une amie ici, Isaac lui plait bien, mais elle ne peut en parler à personne ! Je les laisserai tous les trois un peu à Paris et puis après je les amenerai dans le Nord.
ReplyDeleteEt sinon, je ne peux résister à une crêpe au chocolat chaud, bien sûr. Mais au plus profond de mon coeur, le must reste la crêpe à la confiture de mûres.
Et aussi la crêpe avec du caramel au beurre salé. Et aussi la crêpe avec une boule de glace à la cannelle.
Ou les deux en même temps (?)
Merci bien.
Elle déchire ta bigoudène.
Allez, da kousket, maintenant.
Oh, what a sweet & lovely gift X
ReplyDeleteI am sure Rufine would love to come & live here in England with us - we can take her walking in the woods & for picnics when the sun returns - until then she has a choice of three little people to snuggle up with :)))
As for the crepes, sometimes we experiment a little, but it always seems to come back to sugar & lemon, such a perfect combination!! (Butter & jam is also very scrummy).
Now it is bedtime, but I want a crepe!!
I think Rufine would like to share delicious sweet sherbert ice cream crepes with colorful sprinkles in America, with some of his happy fish friends, after swimming in the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard Island. She will be quite in fashion with her darling and very cool bathing cap! Please swim over Rufine.....you will not be sorry!

très joli! J'adore son chapeau...
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien manger mes crêpes avec du sirop d'érable... souvent j'ajoute du cheddar fort râpé (c'est vraiment bon!). Si c'est la saison, des petits fruits sont les bienvenue. Ça donne faim tout ça!
Alors je le verrais tres bien sous le soleil de San Diego avec moi ;)
ReplyDeleteJ'aime deguster mes crepes avec du lemon curd ou du sirop d'erable accompagnees d'un earl grey...mmm !
Rufine! "Un si grand nom pour une si petite personne". Elle a l'air si charmant que je l'emmènerai toujours avec moi lors de mes escapades bretonnes pour déguster les meilleures crêpes du monde : galettes au blé noir bien croquantes sur les coins et généreusement splashées de beurre salé au milieu.
ReplyDeleteLe reste du temps, je suis sûre qu'elle adorerait faire la conversation à mon poisson rouge, Eugène F. Poliakov.

Rufine could do great swimming in this seas. Maybe some surfing too :)
ReplyDelete(I like my crêpes with cheese prefereably)
Promise I won't eat crêpes with Rufine inside !!!!
ReplyDeletePetit plaisanterie du mercredi.
Fourrer sa crêpe de tomates tranchées, d'un oeuf et d'éclat de fromage de chèvre, ciseler quelques feuilles de basilic et se régaler en famille. Finir le dîner d'une crêpe délicatement recouverte de miel bio, et se dire qu'on est si bien en famille… Un petit plaisir du dimanche soir, pour oublier que le len demain est lundi synonyme de retour au monde laborieux…
haaaaaa Rufine la coquine.... Je serai bien heureuse de te recevoir à la maison, il y fait chaud et tu ne seras pas loin de tes copines les sardines...
ReplyDeleteC'est rigolo que tu parles de crêpes car je me suis levée hier matin en en préparant pour mes hommes. Ici donc nous les aimons avec de la confiture de groseille maison, simplement bon !
Hello Flora, I feel a bit cheeky commenting here as I've only just found your blog! But I love it and will be back.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if Rufine fancies coming to live in Belgium she will be very welcome indeed, charming smile and all! We don't live near the sea - there is a lovely big lake just ten minutes' walk from our house, alas two big herons live there, I don't think she'd enjoy that - but she could come with us to enjoy delicious Belgian beers in the cafe in our village.
I usually eat my crepes with savoury fillings but my favourites are sweet - jam with cream cheese or lemon juice and sugar. Always good!
Best wishes to you!

So... you knew my birthday is in two days and wanted to disguise my present as a giveaway, right? Well played ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy crepes are always warm and soft and sweet and with nutella. Yummmm....
Contact:librosfera(at)gmail(dot)com
My crepes are always filled with fresh fruit
ReplyDeleteMy crepes are eaten with lemon juice and sugar, which is how my Grandmother and my Mother made them for me when I was little ... happy memories ... I'm sure that the little fish will love them too xxx
ReplyDeleteCould Rufine swim across the big ocean to live in Australia? We have lovely fish here for her to be friends with!
ReplyDeleteCinnamon butter and poached peaches with my crepes at the moment - its summer and the peaches are in season!
Standing up or sitting down, I like my crepes anyhow. With a little lemon drizzled and a little sugar. With berry jam and some ice-cream. With fruit and cream. With butter lightly spread. Eaten with a knife and fork, or with my hands in a tight roll... there is no right or wrong way to eat a crepe, I only wish I indulged in eating them more often. For breakfast, lunch, tea and supper.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful work. That handsome fish of yours, Rufine, is sure to make her new and lucky owner smile.
xo
Si Rufine veut visiter la Belgique puis me suivre dans moult aventures tout au long de ma vie, dis-lui qu'elle est grandement bienvenue à la maison !
ReplyDeleteIls sont adorables ces poissons, Flora.
Et sinon, je te remercie pour ton commentaire quant aux rêveries. J'ignorais que c'était bien de songer, et je suis ravie de l'apprendre ! ;-)
En tout cas, c'est fou comme ça me remonte le moral.
J'ai beaucoup repensé à ton commentaire. Cette nuit, j'en ai même rêvé, c'est te dire si ça m'a marquée !
If she's coming to live with me it will not be very far from Bretagne....I'm living close to Angers. But she is very welcome here! And we can bring here home sometimes, our pepe lives right on the coast of Bretagne.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to eat my crepes with caramel au beurre sale, hmmmmmmm!!!!
Dear Flora,
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful. Even she would not travel all the way to frost covered Finland, I am sure while reading these words that she will get a good home.
Have a warm Sunday.
i love my crepes with banana, chocolate and a little icecream. I love to read all of the favorites over here, gives me lots of ideas. Hope Rufine finds a nice place to stay!
ReplyDeleteMAGNIFIQUE !!! j'en suis amoureuse
