A few years ago some Basque students
came to stay at our house in
Northern California to perform at
Sierra Jr. College
near by.
I asked them
"what do you want for breakfast"
I was thinking that they would probably tell me
bagels, croissant and fruit.
No, they told me
"Chocolate"
Hot Chocolate?
I asked
So I whipped out my trusty little packet
of Swiss Miss with
marshmallows.
They must have thought me
extremely
lame.
As I look back
I think me extremely
lame!!
So what did they mean Chocolate?
chocolate cake
chocolate bar
or
pain au chocolat?
So there you have it.
I should have served a
big bowl
of thick hot chocolate
with some of these divine
pain au chocolat!!
Yep I should have.
Love,

Pain au Chocolat,
the classic french pastry a croissant filled with some nice chocolate,
a typical breakfast in France.

The recipe for the average bowl of "chocolat" requires a bowl...not a mug, 3/4 filled with warm milk and then 3 big spoonfuls of instant chocolate mix. It's that simple. Nesquik makes a great instant "chocolat". When ordering a "chocolat" in a fine establishment you will be served a mug with melted chocolate in it and then hot milk on the side to dilute as desired. Very rich and very very good!!!
