A few of my favorite things...

See, this is why France is awesome.  Because they don't make you choose between eating a pastry and having a drink.  Behold: the baba au rhum.

The combination of fruit, pastry, and liquor inspired me to sing a chorus of "My Favorite Things."

None of that pansy "the alcohol burns off when the pastry bakes" nonsense.  No, this is more like "just in case any of the alcohol burned off during baking, we gave you a vial of rum to pour over the pastry.  Enjoy!"

Man, I love it here.
