I remember I used to order coffee-flavored desserts all the time -- éclairs, glaces, etc. -- in Paris restaurants, but I almost never have them any more. This one was Walt's choice and it was the right one. Next year, we'll try praliné maybe.

I don't remember Matt Leacock but I'm glad he's been successful. For past Christmases Walt has made our <i>bûche</i>, but when we got a flyer from the bread lady saying the local baker was making it, we said why not. And it's good. I think he really did make the <i>bûche</i> and not just sell through some factory-made ones. It was only 8.80 € for a cake that will end up giving us 8 portions!Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46861526227233284322014-12-26T22:00:59.940+01:002014-12-26T22:00:59.940+01:00Merry Christmas, Ken and Walt!
