Q: What to binge drinkers go on?
A: Benders,natch!
“One should always be drunk. That’s all that matters…But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk.” – Charles Baudelaire On a baking and Baudelaire bender lately. Just found these quotes at butter and brioche “To handle a language skilfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery” – Charles Baudelaire. Cheers, to all of you wordly wise wizards!
