Meringue mushrooms! Did you all fight over those? They look so neat!

Hahaha….wait till you see the next one.

Comment on TC..although I need to get better about replying over there. It’s all a transition and a work in progress. I’ll get better. Shortly there won’t be a ETR.

It’s truly a work of art, although not as delicious at the McDonald’s attempt. (Though the funnel cake sticks idea was truly inspired.)

Is it better for me to comment on ETR or TC?

Seriously, I thought you of all people would be eating them every year. Not just because you live in a French-ish area but because I figured you’re just the type of girl to enjoy eating logs.

Man!!!!! Why you gotta go there? I would be there in a second if I could.

:) You saw the State Fair burger?

Not a chance. But I’m fully available to accompany you to Financier today if you want to hit them with a Will They Build It? involving eclairs, sacher tortes, and petit fours.

You were actually the one who revealed to me that these are even called bûche de Noël (bûches de Noël? I have no idea how to pluralize that). When I unveiled them at the office, you were like, “Yule log!” or something, and I was like, “Ohhhhhh.”

I am CRAZY jealous of your trip even more now.

Far as I know, we don’t eat Buche de Noel in Louisiana, either (which seems odd, given our many French influences), but it looks and sounds delish.

Yeah apparently they’re huge on this in France. Like, we had one for dessert almost every single night (even also for lunch sometimes). They even have ice cream ones. Hey, you won’t hear me complaining ;).
