Donuts do not taste the same after tucking in French baked goods. Gimme a pain au chocolat any day. I'm heading back to France this summer to work on my spare tyre again, which is looking a bit flat.

Hey...I used to subsist on milk, pain au chocolat and the mint-filled chocolate Lindt bars. I somehow managed to lose weight on that diet.
Forgot to mention them last time, but my mother's French Breakfast Puffs put any doughnut to shame.

What city in France do you keep the spare tire? Reparis?
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

There's a group here at work who take turns bringing in donuts once a week. Actually, Thursdays, so there's a big box over near the coffee pot right now. I'll admit, sometimes they do smell good...but then I just close my eyes and repeat the mantra, "lardy dough cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" and the craving goes away in no time.
A fuxk, why do I not give one?

Funny you should mention Chartres. I'm reading the a book on the stained glass at the local cathedral. Basically its a "Classics Illustrated" set of bible stories. Except there's no subtitles, supertitles, or intra/inter-titles. It's a major pane in the glass of biblical propositions.

Har! The last sub title I read was by Tom Clancy!  Wait, I haven't read any of his books. I was Lyons big time, I fib you not! The last sub book I read must have been Secret Under the Sea back in 4th grade (good book too).
How does one read a book about stained glass with no subtitles?  If a picture is worth 10,000 words, is a picture of stained glass worth 100,000, or perhaps, 1,000,000??? 
If you want to see nice stained glass, check out the stained glass of the Cathedral of St. John's in Le Boise, Idaho.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

I remember many moons ago I think it was National Lampoon did an expose on using ice climbing equipment to forge ancients on ancient stained glass windows. The author’s words of the thrill of his ice axe and crampons biting into the 800+ year old hand crafted glass at Chartres cathedral was outrageous and brilliant!*
