Happy Epiphanie (well, almost)

Tomorrow, January 6th is the holiday of Epiphanie: a Christian holiday (what else, in France? ) which commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men (Wise Men? More like three Wise Guys, if you ask me! Nyuk nyuk nyuk) and is traditionally a day where small presents are exchanged amongst friends.

Tonight we're having an impromptu Epiphanie celebration with our parents. Dinner tonight shall consist of a sumptious pouli roti (rotisserie chicken, one of my favorite easy dinners in Paris) followed by the traditional Epiphanie dessert, the galette des rois, shown below. Inside the galette is one tiny feve (some kind of bean, I guess) and whoever gets the piece with the feve is the "king" and gets to wear the crown that often comes with the galette.
