You have made me hungry! As a writer, as far as “let them eat cake” goes, I think it’s one of those situations where the “untrue” words told such a truth that the phrase took on a life of its own.

I read about that recently and was surprised to read that she hadn’t said that. Thanks for the recipe.

That brioche looks like a bonnet!

“Let them eat cake” is a good example of a phrase that, although it may never have really happened, is so perfect in what it expresses (isn’t it exactly what the giant corporations are saying to us all now?) that it takes on a life of its own.

I have to admit, I’ve had so many tight deadlines, I haven’t tried the recipe myself, though I’ve certainly eaten my share of brioches. But in honor of the 218th anniversary of Marie Antoinette’s death (October 16, 2 days before the post went up), it seemed like the right thing to clear her name. Thanks, Allie!!

I heard, but never got any real information about. That generation is gone and my dad is the last of his generation. I can never seem to get answers to many of my questions. |
