Révolutionnaire ! Nivôse, Thermidor, Prairial, Brumaire…. il avait quand même plus de poésie notre calendrier républicain! Ce que l’on sait moins c’est que chaque jour avait été baptisé soit en fonction du climat soit selon les moments importants de la vie paysanne. Savez-vous à quel jour correspond votre anniversaire ? Alors bien sûr il y a les gagnants et les losers ! Les chanceux seront nés le 18 septembre (jour du génie) , le 28 Novembre (Miel) le 7 juillet (Cerise) 7 octobre (Belle de Nuit) ; bon, au tour des losers : pour les garçons le 6 octobre (âne) 25 Novembre (cochon) ; et pour les filles le 12 février (trainasse) le 15 mars (thon)... votre belle-mère est née le 7 avril ? Normal c’est le jour de la ciguë !!!
Maintenant amusez-vous et gaussez-vous de votre entourage, tous les jours sont ici !!!
Aujourd’hui c’est le jour de l’étain mais j’ai choisi le pari de la légèreté avec ce millefeuilles exotique !!!

Revolutionary! During the French revolution in 1789 a new calendar was set up renaming the months and days of the Year ; new names were related to climate or important moments of peasant life .
It is impossible to translate all days but some are very funny with very old names or names of animal such pig, donkey or tuna ; you see depending on your birthday you may have been lucky if you were born in spring or summer with a nice flower name but in winter you may have had trouble and one day was to avoid which is dec 28th , day of ..manure ! If your mother-in-law was born on April 7th no surprise this was the day of ..hemlock!!!!
Today should have been the “tin” day but I have tried to bring some lightness with this puffy millefeuilles with mango and a light ginger crème
patissière !!!
MILLEFEUILLES, MANGO DICED, LIGHTLY GINGER CREAM
Ingredients;
Serves 4
1 puff pastry
of very good quality
1 mango big
enough
Ginger cream:
1 / 4 liter milk
2 egg yolks
50 g sugar
15 g flour
1 small piece ginger
The Millefeuilles layers puff pastry
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles by cutting very distinct edges, count by 3 layers per
millefeuilles.
On a cooking oven tray (not sure about the translation?!!!)
put a baking sheet, place the rectangles cover with another sheet of baking and again another cooking tray which will be a weight.
Bake in hot oven thermostat 7 / 8 for 10 min. Monitor cooking until light brown.
The Ginger Custard
In a bowl whisk the yolks with sugar, add flour, heat the milk ; then pour the hot milk over the
eggs/sugar/flour mixture stir well and pour back in the saucepan . Continue to stir until thickened, add grated ginger (almost to a pulp with the
Microplane grater), pour into a bowl, place plastic wrap directly on the cream to prevent a crust. When cooled pour the cream into a pastry bag.
Mango
Peel mango and slice the two halves around the nucleus.
Cut into cubes.
Service
On a first rectangle of puff
pastry, place the diced mango. Cover with the second puff pastry rectangle; lay a first line of ginger cream, cover the last
rectangle finish with a final layer of ginger cream.
Serve immediately.
