Crème brûlée one of '5 of the Best Baked Desserts from Around the World'
Joel Kramer If you were to imagine the best dessert or baked item in the world, then your favourite would likely be very different from your friends and family members. From childhood treats to family recipes, there are many foods that are personal to each individual and this is especially true when it comes to desserts. Sugary, sweet treats hold a lot of nostalgia for most people and often these bakes and desserts use influence from local flavours. A lot of these “desserts” are…

Early in the story (page 43, to be exact), our intrepid Baroness, who was last seen on Go-Lo hobnobbing with headhunters in Borneo, finds herself in the throes of passion with the handsome Baron, who in the heat of the moment asks her a most disconcerting question…
“I never imagined how different making love could be with a man with such experience. He could control his timing to climax just moments after me. Once again he asked the mysterious question that sounded like “Are you Jewish?” To which, though finding it strange that he was asking this question, perhaps to further excite himself for some inexplicable reason, I responded, “Oui, oui.”
Later, when I coyly asked him what he always whispered to me at this final moment, he looked at me questioningly and replied, “Do you mean, ‘As-tu joui?”
“Yes, that’s it,” I said, now realizing he spoke in French.
“Don’t you know the phrase?”
“No.”
“It means, “Did you come?” he said, a little embarrassed.
“Yes, yes, that’s what I thought,” I said trying to hold back a giggle. “As-tu joui?” pronounced in French, sounded exactly like, "Es-tu jouive?" (“Are you Jewish?”), especially when whispered in the heat of passion. And I, of course, had always replied, “Yes, yes!”
All in all, a language lesson your high-school French teacher never thought to give...
"Entre les rangées d'arbres de l'avenue des Gobelins
une statue de marbre me conduit par la main.
Aujourd'hui c'est dimanche, les cinémas sont pleins,
les oiseaux dans les branches regardent les humains,
et la statue m'embrasse mais personne ne nous voit
sauf un enfant aveugle qui nous montre du doigt".
Jolie mais bizarre, n'est-ce pas? Est-ce que quelqu'un sait ce que le poète voulait dire?
Merci à tous!
Bienvenue!
