what's in a name?

so you may wonder why le rayon de miel? well once i had decided that i wanted to create a blog, i started considering some names. of course being the blog snob that i am, i knew i wanted something classy, sophisticated and meaningful. i had considered words and phrases that are staples in my vocabulary: perfect!, perhaps, exactly, oh how very. . . none seemed to have the right fit.

so while perusing through one of my favorite foodie blogs, chocolate & zucchini, i came across an entry about honeycombs. the details are not important, but clotilde wrote that honeycomb in french is rayon de miel which is similar to the expression 'ray of sunshine'. she goes on to describe honeycombs as things of beauty; small structures that are fragile and sturdy at the same time.

so this is my little honeycomb - a collection of little rays of sunshine.
