Hey, what's up, hello! I'm sitting on my couch while Chloe and Thomas cook me crêpres... how very French. They are both visiting while they prep for their three-month cycling trip across the United States. Me and Dan are being awkward hosts, showing them clips of Pierre Escargot (which is incomprehensible to French-speakers, btw), and shouting "zut alors!" and "chin chin!" when we clink our glasses of bordeaux together. 

You should keep up with their adventures. Follow Thomas on his website and weekly YouTube vlog, or follow Chloe--she shares her beautiful thoughts on Medium. Thomas already has about a year of cycling under his belt, having made his way through Europe (Sweden was beautiful, he says. Poland, not so much.) and up the Eastern seaboard (Miami was like the movies. The seashore of North Carolina is magical.) of the USA. But Chloe, my dear, fearless friend whom I met when we interned together, is new to cycling. I cannot WAIT to see Thomas teasing her from Chicago to Las Vegas and beyond. ;) 

If I were cleverer, I probably would have planned to talk about some crêpes, or at least a pain perdu today, but this baby is really more of a bread pudding... not that I'm complaining. I am tellin' you! Bookmark/pin this recipe. It is soooo good and exactly what you should cook if you have some guests coming over for a weekend brunch. Prepare it the night before and warm up in the oven the next morning for a rich, chocolatey, delicious meal that pairs perfectly with a café au lait. Hope you like!!
