le croissant

taken with contax-rts

about a year ago, i was so stuck on croissants.
i thought i had preferred leaner bread much than rich bread.
and so do i now.
so, i don't know why, but i loved croissants from the french bakery restaurant in my town over a period of time last year.

btw, whenever i see a croissant, i can't help thinking of my most favorite actress, audrey hepburn.
have you ever seen the movie, " breakfast at tiffanys"?
in the first scene of that movie, she got off a yellow cab, and had a cup of coffee and a pastry with looking into tiffanys' window on the 5th street in manhattan.
that's a pretty scene, and i really love that.
as it is, i 've read some episode about that scene.
it said that since audrey had never liked rich bread like pastries, she experienced difficulties with shooting that.
i love this episode, too :)

anyway, going back to the original topic of this post, after a few days' fad for croissants i'd completely returned to the usual preference.
i just wanted to talk about my curious croissant story, because i met him today (but i din't get him according to my usual preference. instead of le croissant, i got a sourdough baguette :) ).


dear le croissant,
oh you're so french!
whenever i call you aloud, i feel so french :)
le croissant, le croissant, .... i'm still not good at french "r" sound, but i know that it's so romantic.
i'm dreaming of my perfect french pronunciation someday :))
sincerely yours,
tomily

やばいわ・・・今度はクロワッサン食べたくなってきた!
昔は全然好きじゃなかったけど、一度パン屋さんでおいしいの食べたら感動して、たまに食べたくなるんよねー。
あ、でも、ドーナツがまだなんよ!
昨日行くつもりが・・・車乗るのがめんどくさくなっちゃって^^;

akaneちん、ありがとぉー^^
2月はイベント盛りだくさんで、ただでさえ短い月なのに、なんかあっという間に過ぎてくわー^^;

クロワッサンねぇ、実はわたし、クロワッサンにまつわるおもしろいエピソードを持っててね、昔クロワッサンをよく作ってたんだけど、ある日手作りの焼きたてクロワッサンを食べて、バターの匂いと風味にすごく気分が悪くなって、それ以来乳製品をすべて食べなくなったという。。。。(笑)
うん、ドーナツのほうがまだOKだなぁ、わたしは^^
