Many French people will probably think I am nuts for wasting my time baking instead of just buying them from the gorgeous patisseries around.<BR/><BR/>Anne: I know, I'm soo lucky-- I hope to spread it around :)<BR/><BR/>Mary: Thanks! My mission to see Tartine failed. It is so far from where I was! For next time maybe :) (Or maybe I'll get the Tartine cookbook soon)<BR/><BR/>Marvin: Dammit! I totally missed out on In and Out. I opted for a Carl's Jr. I missed my Western Bacon cheese. Also had a Johnny Rockets but I didn't think it was anything special.<BR/><BR/>Desie: I did! I did!!! :)<BR/><BR/>Connie: Thanks for the tip! Didn't get to go up the tower, though :) I did see the base, heh heh!<BR/><BR/>Bee: Thank you, you're too kind :) I hope to save up the "special effects" with each rarer post, sigh.<BR/><BR/>Todd and Diane: You guys sure move around a lot! I'll make it a point to pass by next time, when I don't have to meet up with a lot of family members!
