le croissant du jour


Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself-
 I am large, I contain multitudes.

oh god it's wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much

                                                   
                                                            -from Steps, by Frank O'Hara

le croissant du jour



"Le plaisir de la table est de tous les ages, de toutes les conditions, de tous les pays et de tous les jours; il peut s'associer a tous les autres plaisirs, et reste le dernier pour nous consoler de leur perte."

                                                                     - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin 
           


*The pleasure of the table belongs to all ages, to all conditions, to all countries, and to all days; it mingles with all other pleasures, and remains at last to console us for their loss
