27.2.08 proper pain au chocolat

Ah, the joys of a proper french pastry...skipped everything else and went straight for the good stuff this morning.

but first, i must report on last night's pleasures!

went to a board meeting, which normally can we say yawn, but this was nice and easy, complete with
red wine
and chocolate digestive biscuits

then on to a friend's house for a nibble around 10:30 p.m.
two or three plain cashews, and a couple of chilli ones
a beer - maybe a Stella? too tired to pay attention
fresh ginger tea

okay, so this morning so far:
a good long walk followed by a warming
cappuccino
pain au chocolat

is there anything better than a neighborhood deli with actual wonderful treats? find the one in my neighborhood at l'epicerie @ 56 delicatessen
