To stick with today's French theme, I went to a list of conversation excerpts on a website and randomly chose one. Apparently, the title translates to "Cold baked beans on soggy bread?". I typed in the word beautiful, and that is what I got. I should have known from the word froids that something wasn't right. Typical.
