vendredi le vingt sept février


'Je suis convaincu que l'émotion artistique cesse où l'analyse et la pensée interviennent. '
Max JACOB, Le Cornet à dés, préface de 1916
I am convinced that artistic feeling ends where analysis and thought begin.


Trivia: The delicious croissant is actually not of French origin. Its invention include tales that it was invented in Europe to celebrate the defeat of a Muslim invasion at the decisive Battle of Tours by the Franks in 732, with the shape representing the Islamic crescent; Also in 1683 to celebrate the defeat of the Turkish siege of THIS CITY, as a reference to the crescents on the Turkish flags.


Déjeuner: Turkey Cubes and gravy...yes!

One legend is that the croissant was invented in Vienna, either in 1683 or in an earlier siege in 1529, to celebrate the defeat of the Turkish siege of the city, as a reference to the crescents on the Turkish flags. This version is supported by the fact that croissants in French Language are referred to as Viennoiserie and the French popular belief that Vienna born Marie Antoinette introduced the pastry to France in 1770

haha Harriet has been there!

The French city of Tours (Charles Matel, Ms. B's great military inclined relative). However, this culinary pleasure is also reputed to have come from Vienna after the victory over the Ottomans in the later portion of the 17th century.

Hey Ms B. I tried to make choclate crepes today and I failed. The dough part turned out to look like scrambled eggs. So when I finished it looked like scrambled eggs with choclate sauce. But I tried it and it was SOOO good! But next time, I'd rather but some in the store. Or go to France.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Seriously.lol
