@Heidee yes! "la fève", at first it was a dried fava bean, now you find little ceramic characters. they can be biblical representation, or licensed characters from Disney and such.
Whoever gets la fève becomes King/Queen for the day, and gets to wear a paper crown (sold with the pastry)

There is a Day of the Wren song.

TDK60: so the wren flew to Europe and became St. Stephen? I don't remember that from my catechism.
Avatar 7:24am
Sylvia (France-NYC):

the tradition says youngest guest has to go under the dining table, and pick slices for each guest (under the table so there's no cheating, in case la fève can be seen from the sliced galette)

There are two different sorts: the most famous one is la galette parisienne, made with two puff pastries and an almond filling, the other one is from South East region of Provence, it's brioche like, with candied fruits on top (sometimes inside as well), and it's wreath-shaped, it's called la couronne des rois (the Kings' crown, in reference to the 3 Wise Men)

Well, we should outlaw cars, then. We live on a planet; we have to be able to work. I have no idea how to pay my bills because my work got cut.

noel: cars are regulated, we don't just let anyone drive one anywhere. i'm sorry you are out of work. and sorry our gov't won't take care of people

Noel:

Well, Joe, if DJs didn't act like they had the answers to controversial problems, it wouldn't happen during such good music.

Noel: that's a different issue, and I don't have an answer for that, unfortunately, no more than I have an answer for vaccine research and distribution, restaurants and other businesses staying open, and relief bills from Congress. I wish you the best, and hope that the new year brings relief for you and all who are in straitened circumstances. Forget the car thing...it's a bad comparison.

I’m pretty sure “they let just about anybody drive”. I mean I must say that any time I’m driving. Also, “hey you damn kids!”

Beautiful pick today, Jeffrey. Tasteful, ethereal. On to better times, all. Enjoy the season. Going for a walk in the woods with our dog, crystal clear air. Time to breathe. x

Noel: I made a few sarcastic comments. Nothing about having the answers to anything.

YETI BOB:

If there had been a more serious response early on, rather than all the mixed messages, finger-pointing and confusion, we'd probably be done with this thing by now (like in China).

If someone wants to wear a full hazmat suit, they are free to do it. Everyone should be free to make their own choices about this.

Noel are you a John Prine fan? He died of it.
The numbers of dead are higher than for war dead combined. & it didn't have to be. If the pandemic had been dealt with responsibly & realistically - the economy & our jobs would be in a much better place. Everyone knew what would happen to both health & business - but it's a catastrophic failure of leadership - a tidal wave of lies & disinformation. God Help Us All my friend. Don't be the last to die or kill before vaccines arrive.

Noel: In a civil society, you are not free to make choices that endanger others. We've got some screwy ideas about "freedom" in the USA

yes, it is, Yeti Bob, it's the day Michael collapsed in my arms on the hospital's sidewalk (as we were finally out of it), got a pulmonary embolism and had his heart stopped for 10 min. A day we can't forget.
