Be that as it may, it's funny that they would remind you of the glorious Starship Enterprise - when I was studying law years ago, I always took a break from studying on Saturday afternoons to watch Star Treck and loved it ;)<br />Take care!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-70810539721357183402020-06-08T22:28:39.948+02:002020-06-08T22:28:39.948+02:00Really Andrea?

Your posts are always so interesting to read. I didn't know that beignets were supposed to resemble doves. The ones in your first picture, in fact, look more to me like the starship Enterprise! I agree with you, though, that there are few things as delightful as fresh beignets and a cup of coffee!Jeff the Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864040730656906037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-75289194282972132392020-06-02T07:59:56.369+02:002020-06-02T07:59:56.369+02:00Dear Liz, I am quite enchanted by the sybolism as ...Dear Liz, I am quite enchanted by the sybolism as well and I loved making these. And, yes, there are a few food associated with Pentecost, not many, but the ones that I know of are all quite worth making. Last year I presented the 'Allgäu Bread Birds' which are said to represent the Holy Spirit as well in form of a bird/dove.
