Hot Buns at a French Bakery

We were standing at the counter of Almost French, ordering hot cross buns and almond croissants when our reveries of afternoon tea were interrupted by the entrance of the unmissable Alannah Hill. After ordering half a dozen hot cross buns, she turned her attention to another version of hot buns – you know the ones that come in a pair of cool blue jeans…

She very casually introduced herself as ‘Alannah…Alannah Hill. I’m a designer’. Then quickly moved into ‘You’re very good-looking. I think I’m going to pick you up’.

Completely distracted by the scene playing out in front of us, I could barely respond to the waitress’ question of ‘Is there anything else?’ until Alannah had left her number with the guy and driven off in her black Merc.

    HILARIOUS!!! Also because of the fact that Almost French is LITERALLY my local patisserie and I have never seen Alannah there. Tho I HAVE seen her trotting around Vic Gardens with pumps that are too big for her feet. LOL x1000 Love it :-) )))

    Clearly I’m going to have to switch to the pastry program at school (I’m a culinary school student) immediately!

    Life isn’t this exciting on the cooking side.

    Cheers!
