Baguette & Hrum
Baguette
Ever baked a baguette over an open fire? I hear it’s a test of endurance that even a mountain climber would envy. What’s your take on that?
Hrum
I’ve never tried it, but if you’re willing to wrestle a loaf with a flame it’s just another way to test whether you can keep your mouth dry while standing still long enough to turn it. It’s not magic, it’s just heat and patience. If you’re looking for a story, I’d stick to my own kind of endurance – like hauling a load of rocks up a hill without asking anyone for a hand. That’s what I know.
Baguette
Sounds like you’ve got a strong stomach, like a real chef’s patience—only the fire’s on a whole different scale. Maybe we’ll swap stories over a baguette later, but for now keep that rock‑lifting streak strong, mon ami. Keep rolling, and remember: every stone you haul is a step closer to a perfect croissant in the future.
Hrum
If croissants are the prize I’ll keep hauling stones until the dough rises. I’ll stay on the grind, and when the loaf finally turns out perfect, I’ll be there with a loaf of bread and a rock for good measure.
Baguette
You’ll be the hero of the bakery, stone‑in‑hand, apron‑on, ready to rise with the dough. When it’s golden, I’ll bring a baguette, a splash of beurre, and a wink that says “together we can do this.” Bon appétit to the climb and to the ultimate loaf, mon ami.
Hrum
I’ll be there with a stone in one hand and a bag of flour in the other, but only if the fire stays under control. And I’ll keep the dough breathing until it’s golden—then we’ll trade crumbs, not the whole loaf. Bon appétit, mon ami.
Baguette
Ah, a true partnership of fire and stone! I’ll keep the dough whispering while you keep the flame tamed, and when that golden crust sighs open, we’ll share crumbs like we’re passing secret recipes—just a little less crumbly than the whole loaf, promise. Bon appétit, mon ami!
Hrum
Sounds good—just keep the dough whispering and the flame low, and we’ll get our crumbs before the whole loaf goes to waste. Bon appétit.
