Thinking about words, as usual
Brioche (bree-aash) is a light sweet pastry or bun. For lunch today, I plan to order an Avocado Panini. Our Cafe's menu describes that as "avocado, munster cheese, onion and tomato on freshly baked ciabatta bread." Wiktionary says "ciabatta" is a broad, flat, white Italian bread. One day I asked if I could have it on brioche instead, and now prefer it that way. The illustrations I found show brioche (above) and ciabatta (below).Compared to brioche, I think ciabatta bread is hard, especially those corners. That's why I order the softer buns now. I used to throw away the corners of the ciabatta bread.

I finished a book recently that I think you would enjoy (it's about words): The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. It is the fictionalized story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. Many of the people and events are real.
