OMG! Those peach ones were FABULOUS! Don't know if I tried the strawberry last time. Can I get six of one, half a dozen of the other?

Excellent! I'll put you on hold!

I have missed your cookies like burning. I think I require a dozen strawberry financiers, because I got the ugly cast-offs last time and they were still SO DELICIOUS.

the translator over at google translate served me well, but I did it by hand!

opium_and_tea March 21 2012, 01:55:52 UTC

Thanks! My French is passable so with the help of a translator I think I should be able to manage. It all looks so yummy! I seriously can't wait til you make those peaches!
