"What do you want for breakfast"

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!!!

Updates on The Boat.

The Boat is now a darling Nissan Cube. 

Some of you will say "well that's not darling." 
But to me and my SC Grand kids 
anything is better than the 
embarrassing Boat!!!!

It has been so long since I posted and 
I'm ashamed!! 
This week has been sooooo sad with the 
shootings in Connecticut. 
Bless there hearts and bless everyone's 
broken hearts. 
I know because my heart sure did break. 

Gun laws? We must be free to carry!
But we must be responsible and use gun safes.
We need to keep or loved one's safe one way or the other. 

Well that's my two cents, take it or leave it.
