Paradis

Have you ever felt like that poor goldfish featured in that horrible children's asthma ad - out of the water? I'm not about to go about some crazy rampage to tear to the ground whoever thought that it was fair to torture that goldfish. I assume that simple-minded thing didn't even get paid for his… Continue reading Paradis

It was quite astounding, really, the rate at which baguettes, boules, pain au chocolats,… Continue reading Casually Pudding it Out
