All this dedication and dreaming and hearbreak and passion and two centuries on, there's just about no difference in the results.Jo Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457862962618886252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-412324767507633382010-07-14T20:05:49.435-04:002010-07-14T20:05:49.435-04:00Speaking of brioche, Happy Bastille Day!
