See... an other example of accents. A "sablé" is a cookie and "sable" is sand.

See, in English, we dispense with the accents and give each word its own word. "Cookie" is "cookie" and "sand" is well, "sand."

You know, that just might explain some of the crap I get at the cafeteria at work.

Zelda, we know for a fact that you took pictures. Will you post some?

She already did. Here's one of them.

Ooops. Wrong image.

vivaldirules · 04-19-2009, 12:28 PM

Sorry about that. Try again.

Poop! Okay, I'll let Zelda do it.

Cheers,
Marc (I like pastry. Do they have pastry in Paris?)

does fresh-made pasta count ? it's nearly all the same letters in the same order...

anyway, you will no doubt be happy to know that as a direct result of your subliminal (

) message here, i bought two pains aux raisins on my way to meet patricia for tea. since patricia wasn't hungry we didn't eat them, and now that i'm back home i've just eaten both of them myself. now i'm feeling a bit too full (i blame you).

zelda_pinwheel · 04-19-2009, 02:05 PM

so, to make up for not taking more pictures at the apéro, here are some photos of....

DUCKLINGS !!!!!

which i saw today on the canal. there were two families, one with 4 ducklings, and one with TEN tiny tiny fluffy fuzzy little baby ducklings !!!! bouh, so cute ! they were all swimming around the canal with the mama ducks, playing and eating, and the papa ducks were keeping watch nearby (or, more likely, talking about sports and wondering what was for dinner).
