Butter (REAL butter), bread, and Burgundies. Baguettes, Bordeauxs, and [Carla] Bruni. Huh. Why does everything I love about my France start with the letter ‘B’? Oh! Except Croissants! And coffee.

I don’t do a lot of baking. I don’t have the patience for perfect measurements, dough that needs to rise, and I don’t even own an electric mixer.
