Yesterday, everyone was in the kitchen to prepare a delicious tartiflette! Antoine was wearing his green apron, and while he was peeling the potatoes, his sister Marie was grating the reblochon into a bowl. Their father was browning the lardons in a frying pan and their mother was preparing some green salad to accompany this beautiful dish! It smelled so good in the kitchen! While the tartiflette was cooking in the oven, everyone laid [US:set] the table. What a special moment for the whole family!

Clever stuff happening!
