Please share your answers in the comments.
1. Apple Danish.
ReplyDelete2. Coffee. My order is either a double espresso or small long black, 2/3 full, meaning it is a bit stronger than a full cup with more water.
3. 150m/500ft away. I assume it is still open.
4. I don't remember taking pastries back to accommodation.
5. I used the bread maker with a bread mix about three months ago. Does that count?
Of course it counts, the breadmaker is just another tool.
Delete1: What pastry are you most likely to order? I have never ordered a pastry.
ReplyDelete2: Coffee, tea, or other? I never drink tea when I am away from our house as it is always rubbish so I tend to opt for a latte.
3: How close is the nearest French bakery to where you live? I would imagine it is in Calais, France.
4: Have you ever taken a box of pastries back to a hotel room? What kind of a guy do you think I am? Never!
5: When was the last time you baked bread? Around 1992. I cannot remember the exact date.
Never ordered a chocolate eclair? How sad.
DeleteI have bought them but never ordered one at an eating establishment. Not sad at all - just true. I rarely visit cafes or coffee shops.
DeleteA sidewalk cafe in Paris is one of the great joys of life.
DeleteFrench Bakery... Calais... you clever rascal you!
DeleteYou should have tried this bakery my sweet.
Delete1. Pain au chocolat
ReplyDelete2. Tea. Hot or cold - depending on the weather.
3. A friend of mine owns / runs a french inspired place. It's about 1.5 miles from me.
4. Georgetown Cupcakes, I've taken back to my hotel room.
5. I never have. I need to try.
I should post a couple of reliable bread recipes.
Delete1: What pastry are you most likely to order? I am not much for sweets, but a local woman has a stand at our Farmer's Market and she makes delicious scones and a fabulous Cinnamon Croissant Bread.
ReplyDelete2: Coffee, tea, or other? I have a Café con Leche with breakfast and then, as a good Southern Gentleman, switch to Not Sweet Tea, and perhaps a hot green tea at night.
3: How close is the nearest French bakery to where you live? France? I kid, though I'm not sure ...
4: Have you ever taken a box of pastries back to a hotel room? I have not; again, it's my lack of being a sweets person.
5: When was the last time you baked bread? I baked bread for an economics class in high school and it turned out like a brick; I haven't tried since though I might like to do it again and follow ALL the instructions!
A good croissant is a work of art. I had one still warm from the oven that was heavenly.
Delete1: What pastry are you most likely to order? Almond
ReplyDelete2: Coffee, tea, or other? Iced tea
3: How close is the nearest French bakery to where you live? I can't think of one that is just a bakery.
4: Have you ever taken a box of pastries back to a hotel room? No
5: When was the last time you baked bread? So long ago that I can't remember.

Distant bakeries, one of the challenges of small town America.
DeleteI do not eat pastries and the last time I tried to make bread was another flop, worse luck. As god is my waitress I vow to make a loaf some day.
