When Chickens Fly Out of My Butt

Pastry-related pics of the day: no tourist's visit to Paris is complete without a visit to Notre Dame! In keeping with the theme, I ate a pastry called "la religiuese." Apparently there is also a pastry out there name a "pet du nonne" (literally: "nun's fart") but I haven't been able to locate such a wonderfully named dessert yet. In addition, the sumptious Opera hall, eating (appropriately enough) a pastry called an "opera".

French Expression for the Day: "Quand les poules auront des dents", which is translated as, "when chickens have teeth", used to describe a situation which will never happen. English equivalents would include "when Hell freezes over" and, one of my favorites, "when monkeys fly out of my butt."
