The delights of petit déjeuner

John and I have had to run into Beaune after dropping the kids at school each school day this week as part of various errands -- and each time we decided to indulge in petit déjeuner at what has quickly become our favorite little cafe.



Breakfast in France is perfect, in my opinion. A strong cup of espresso with warm milk, a glass of fresh-squeezed juice, a croissant and a piece of baguette with cold butter and sweet jam... it's a great way to start the day.


So today, after returning the rental minivan, we stopped at the Brasserie Le Carnot and slipped into a booth. The waitress looked at us and said deux crèmes? (remembering our order from Tuesday) -- and we had that great feeling that comes from being in the same place long enough (or at least coming often enough in one week) to become a regular.


It was easy to take our time as we enjoyed this:


 

Bon appetit!

Yum!!! You are now obviously being rewarded for your noble/brave enduring of your bread travails in Japan.

And to think that you still have months of rewards still ahead of you!
