Pastry of the Week: Religieuse

Pastry consumption has been reduced to one day per week. (Mousse consumption continues to hold steady, and oddly enough, orange juice is moving up in the rankings.) I have designated Friday as Pastry Day, in order to celebrate having successfully arrived at the weekend. Today I stopped at the bakery downstairs and got a religieuse.

Mmmm, Fridays. So much tastier than Thursdays.
