Thumbing through the pages,

Wondering what should I make.

It has been a while since I used this book,

Mostly because it usually means added pounds.

French Pastries and breads line the pages,

A dusting of sugar and flour line the pages.

Pate a choux calls my name, versatile and fun;

Eclairs and salambos, and cream puffs too.

Then there is the brioche, perfect rolls,

They will get their turn on Thanksgiving.

We are headed into the season of decadence

Now is the time to plan what to bake!
