I've started to check this forum first, simply because I need a dose of humor to start the day. This thread has provided a couple of snorts and a giggle, for which I thank you all. I'm glad that my sight translation of Legume's message was close to accurate, since it has been 30 years since I've seriously read French... but words like "fromage" leap off the page. Unfortunately they fail to jump onto my plate. And then you guys started talking about croissants! And wine! How cruel!!! (Looking at 2 slices of naked hazelnut bread and coffee which is already cold) Humor may nourish and support the spirit, but I'm hungry for a nice fresh croissant slathered in real butter. :( Carolly
