Petit Déjeuner en français (Breakfast in French)

It's no secret that the French have a love affair with their pastries....and so do I. I have a boulangerie downstairs from the apartment that I have visited almost daily. It is run by a woman who is there every day diligently stocking her shelves with fresh goodies. She greets every person who enters her store with a "bonjour". She is neither cordial nor is she cold...she is just professional and serious about her pastries. "bonjour Madam, trois pain du chocolat et un baguette, s'il vous plaît" was my order this morning. It's quite possible that I will return home a tad heavier than when I left.
