Something I can only call a "Kipferl" because the translator doesn't know how to call it because it's a German thing and the words I use are, apparently, not German.

I believe that the French call this pastry a Croissant, Themis. They are kind of a lighter bread roll or something? My hubby dips those in gravy, soup, actually anything that can be a dip, he uses...;)

I am sipping Jasmine Green Tea and eyeing a nice ripe pear over yonder (but if I partake, Pepper, my dog will come along and demand half...) :p

notta ting boys and gals!:( Thinking of checking out the fridge though! I see an orange there thats getting pretty cocky.... I think Im going to go and reassure its mortality. :lol:

In a way it is a croissant but we differ between "Kipferl" and "croissant". The latter is the french's version is made of a different kind of dough (Puff pastry? It's called "Butterteig" in German.) while a "Kipferl" is made of short pastry.

A croissant looks like this:

Err ... and the only thing we dip it - the kipferl - in is coffee. Or cocoa.

On my way back from the closed library (some sort of public holiday!Not impressed) I found a little shop which caters almond croissants. I'm hoping I won't get addicted to them now......

Thanks, Themis! I think I could easily get into these things! Do you make your own at home? They look like they'd be murder to make (you may recall that I am not one to enjoy the fine art of cuisine...lol!).

Right now I am enjoying a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a tall glass of OJ (orange juice), and a peanut butter sandwich. :)

@kiz_paws: No, we don't make our own. It'd be too time-consuming.

Nothing... yet.

This thread made me hungry.

Your screen name is making me hungry.

Mom's stuffed red peppers and a glass of wine.

Stuffed red peppers.... wow, that sounds very good!

I am sipping hot blueberry tea and munching lemon thins... :)

mmmm, Virg. Sounds good. I do stuffed mushrooms in a red wine sauce. Not too shabby, If I may say so.

Right now....?
Crappy can of coke...:( :lol:

Bowl of oatmeal with hot apple cinnamon on top, mmmmm! And a mug of coffee and cream.

Tuwo........

toast and butter

(no jam)
