Day 80 (5.26.12): Strawberry French Toast (the Proustian Way)


Strawberry French Toast
Status: Restaurant (Novel Cafe)
Satisfaction: 7. Definitely on the dry side.

Associated with: A la recherche du temps perdu, Marcel Proust

This was actually the edition that we had to read in my Proust class sophomore year of my English career. It was one of six, actually, since we read (or should I say, "read") the whole of A la recherche du temps perdu in all its brain-racking, soul-wrenching, finger-cramping (that last one's from page turning) glory. Our professor, who passed away last year, was a Proustian fanatic and reread this series every. Single. Summer. Bless his heart.

Anyway, it's not a madeleine. But it's French. And very blurry. And therefore very Proustian. L'mpressionism, no? (Or something like that.)
