"If there's no bread, let them eat cake" —
that's one of the most famous pieces of fake news, pinned on Marie Antoinette by revolutionaries to cast her as a villain and legitimize the revolution.
As she climbed the scaffold, she accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot, and that's the only thing she's actually recorded as having said:
"Pardon me, I did not do it on purpose."

There's still so much I keep learning for the first time.
I happened to have one last piece of croissant dough left, so I brushed it with egg yolk and baked it. The best combination — brie and apple, a little honey, and crushed walnuts folded in. #applebriesandwich
