  1. The buttery, flaky crescent you eat for breakfast is not as French as you think.

    The story goes back to Austria, where the kipferl (a crescent-shaped pastry) was made centuries before the modern croissant.

    So how did it become a French symbol?

    In the 19th century, Austrian baker August Zang opened a Viennese bakery in Paris, helping popularize Viennese-style pastries. French bakers eventually enhanced the concept, using laminated yeast dough and lots of butter to create the light, flaky pastry we know today.

    🇦🇹 Austria gave it an early ancestor.
    🇫🇷 France made it famous.
    🥐 The rest is delicious history.

  2. Bonjour, notamment aux photographes de la nouvelle lune ;)

    Après le lever de la pleine lune capté entre les tours de la cathédrale, j'ai pensé à capter un très fin croissant de lune au même endroit.
    Je ne me suis jamais vraiment intéressé, pour le moment, à ce stade du cycle lunaire et je me demande à partir de combien de nuits avant ou après la nouvelle lune, le plus fin possible croissant de lune est-il BIEN capté par un boîtier plein format et une focale de 180 mm ? La veille ou le lendemain, c'est bon ? Ou attendre/précéder 2 ou 3 nuits ?

  3. Feeling like a smart #NewYorker #today!
    Often when I'm in Amy's Bread complaining they're sold out of something, they'll say "You can call ahead & reserve" and today I finally did that!
    I'll be bringing pieces of sourdough chocolate bread sticks & pistachio croissant twists (yes, they're as good as they sound) to a cookout in 'Jersey later.

  6. Löysin Alepasta metsämarjacroissantteja. En ehkä syö enää mitään muuta koskaan ikinä.

    Ehkä. Koskaan.

  7. My very first #sourdough #croissant lamination went well, but i used full wheat by accident and let the second rise go for too long. Next time better!

    I remember the scratch & sniffs that #Hustler_Magazine used to have, lolz. They were actually fruity and/or perfumey, not what one might expect, but they were indeed a pretty kewl gimmick to raise interest in #smut magazines for pre-teen boys of the seventies

    I actually met #Larry_Flint a few times coming in&out of the elevators in his building. There was a huge, like 15' high statue of #John_Wayne mounted on a steed outside the front doors of the building, and that was on a huge pedestal - so, way larger than life.

    Flint's wheelchair really was made out of glimmering gold, or at least all gold plated, and he was always accompanied by imposingly huge bodyguards. After a few times of meeting him coming and going I took the opportunity to say "Hi Mr. Flint!", and he kindly responded. It was pretty kewl.

    Sadly, we lost that great icon of #pr0n almost five years ago, after a long life of accomplishments and an entertainment empire he was succeeded by.

    The man was a legend, and protector of the #First_Amendment too - a case which stemmed from a cartoon in Hustler Magazine depicting "Moral Majority" leader Reverend #Jerry_Falwell as having lost his virginity to his own mother in an outhouse. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and he won; it was a great day for the freedom of speech, contrasted with the Biden era "Ministry of Truth" that he appointed #Nina_Jankowitz to head; that was short-lived, only a week or two until that despicable #Orwellian institution was dismantled - at which point she went straight to #Merry_Olde_England to work with their insidious institutions of censorship like Ofcom and others... ergo, what we have here today, where even looking at some social media posts, or appearing as if you're engaging in silent prayer to your deities, can land you in prison if you live in the UK. Talk about #Thought_Police!

    But at least people in France will be able to send British inmates scratch & sniff stamped letters, right?

    The #croissant is iconic of Frenh influence the world over, and small, traditional French bakeries here in the states usually form lines around 6:30 each morning so folks can get them still hot from the oven. That heavenly aroma of freshly baked croissants. Yum!

    NOTE: If my unabashed candidness has offended anyone, please feel free to file a complaint against me at the link I've included above, as I've been trying for a few months now to get #Mark_Rowley to extradite me to the UK following his threats to do so. He's a fricken' pussy, #Kier_Starmer too, and so is (literally) #Shabana_Mahmood.

  9. Mulla on #ilmastotietoisuus periaate:

    Uunia ei lämmitetä vain yhtä asiaa varten.

    Pitää valmistaa useampaa asiaa silloin, kun #uuni lämmitetään.

    Nyt ei ihan oikeasti voisi valmistaa mitään muuta, kun esim. #pakastin on täysi - ei saa tehtyä tulevan varalle.

    Ja HA-LU-AI-SIN sellaisia paista kotona #croissant teja.

    Mutta maistuuko #herkku sitten edes hyvälle omatunnon kolkuttaessa, kun on rikkonut Pyhän Periaatteensa ja kuormittanut #ilmasto a näin kevytkenkäisesti?

  10. Quick sketch of Audrey at Tiffany's (which I still can't write without spellcheck)

    I just like her better with coffee and croissant. :)

  11. Groot voorrecht: Ik kon heerlijk genieten van een croissant vanmorgen.
    Dat is inderdaad een voorrecht dat we hebben in ons deel van de wereld en het is ook een groot genoegen. Met koffie. 😋
