Sourdough Baked Pastries from Just Add Butter are a damn fine way to have a lazy Sunday breakfast.

The Best Pancakes sound very tasty. I think I'll try them for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for the link!

I was reading through your site and found German Almond Bacon.

As I learned HS French, "I like to eat le Noun" implies use of all extant Noun worldwide, whereas "I like to eat du Noun" limits the quantity to a mere "some" of extant Noun and retains the sense of Noun being a favorite food.

Hence "add des Amandes" restricts the addition to the already-called-for almonds. "Add les Amandes" would send a cook looking for more.


Best Pancakes came out thicker and gummier than I like crêpes, but were good filled with chocolate pastry cream. My go-to recipe for crêpes has six eggs for two cups each milk and flour.

Yup! I took HS French as well (...and was an exchange student there for a year). Two caveats to the translation: one, it's from archaic 1604 French/Walloon, and two, someone else did it, although I helped. He translated it that way to be consistent with the other occurrences in the text.

However, he agrees with my interpretation for this recipe. 8)
