France Redeems Itself
April 23rd, 2010Breakfast Choice
I have a tough decision to make today.
Tomorrow morning, I will be visiting a Messianic synagogue with my prayer group. Before that, we’ll be having breakfast at the home of the lady who invited us. I asked if I could bring anything, and she suggested bagels.
That would be a good idea. BUT…why not make pain au chocolat and strawberry croissants with cheesecake filling instead?
It would be a lot of aggravation, but man, they’re good. The big risk is that something will go wrong, and then I’ll end up at her house with a dozen Krispy Kremes in a box.
I think I should go for it. How often do you get to make croissants?
Here’s a photo of the items in question. They’re not really croissants, since they’re not crescent-shaped, but I don’t know what else to call them. The real name for the chocolate jobs is pain au chocolat, but I have no idea what to call the other ones. Pain aux fraises et fromage?
If I’m going to make these things, I’ll have to hit the store pretty early. I need milk, butter, strawberries, and cream cheese.

On a more important note, reader Steve in CA says:
I have a request, my oldest daughter is pregnant and her water broke at 22 weeks. I am asking that she gets the strength and the baby the blessings need to reach viability for delivery. She has had a miscarriage before and I am frightened.

The nice lady suggested, “bagels.” I would stick to the basics, then if successful, step up to the other stuff.
Re Steve’s daughter, I’ll pray.

My niece was born at 23 weeks, 24 years ago and she made it. It was tough but she is ok. It can be done. May God bless and keep the child in all ways by His soverign will.

You know, in France you can find the train station by following the scent of hot butter. They have bakeries in the stations making hot croissants. And other stuff. Seems very civil of them.
If anyone thinks that they are going to stay on a low carb diet in Europe, they are wrong. Not if you are not wealthy. They live on a great deal of bread and other stuff too.

I want to thank everyone for your prayers and thoughts. Alas, my daughter’s beautiful baby did not make it, but with God;’s grace my daughter has come through stronger and was not as devastated as her first mis-carriage. Thanks be to the Lord.
