August 4, 2022: The Thursday Edition!

Yesterday, Akemi, Ivon, and neighbor Kevin and I checked out Le Genie French Bakery (382 Yonge Street) where we enjoyed –

The pain au chocolat, the chocolate-hazelnut flower tart, and the pistachio Paris-Brest. Akemi was all over that pain au chocolat with all of its airy crispness and rich butteriness. We split the chocolate flower – pastry shell for her and chocolate cream for me. The pistachio Paris-Brest, made from Sicilian pistachios, was the best pistachio dessert I’ve had in recent memory. Positively stellar.

Cool!

Bitter melon? I’ve never heard of that but I would have blanching might have done the trick. It used to work for Brussel Sprouts. Did you know that Sprouts are no longer bitter? https://www.bhg.com/news/brussels-sprouts-less-bitter/ That’s one reason I’m against the big deal about GMO produce. Sometimes, nature can be improved.

Loved the food porn! I wish I could visit that bakery. Very glad all of you are having fun.

Does pistachio have a flavor? I like eating them but I usually just taste the salt.

Loved the comic covers from the other day. My favorite was Poison Ivy #3 – cover art by Joshua Middleton. The Batgirl was pretty cool, too.

My mom visit went well yesterday. Mom has recovered and seems fine. I saw picture of your mom and she looks great, too. I’m very thankful!

Ugh, and I thought chili toothpaste was a bad idea.
