Good morning, how are you? David tested positive for Covid last night so please Pray he is better soon so he can return to work. Not only that Charlie hasn’t been feeling that well and now my throat is killing me. Even Hot Tea hurts to swallow.
Being sick isn’t something I have time for. David is meeting our Landlord on Thursday to find out if we will need to move or not. God willing, we get to stay as this is the only home Charlie remembers and this is where Charlie friends live and his grandparents.
On top of that its National Croissant Day and David picked up a container of Honey for me the other day at the Fat Stock Show & Rodeo. As much as I love Croissants, I don’t think I would be able to eat one even if you paid me. So, there is no, need to invite my sister over because she might end up with Covid and no, Croissants or Honey is worth that ever.
National Croissant Day
While most of us know Croissants as a French specialty, the Croissant actually originated in Austria under the name “kipferls”. Marie Antoinette first introduced the Austrian Pastry to France when she married into the royal family and requested the simple cake in the crescent shape of her homeland. The French Bakers created fancier versions of “kipferls” and thus, the Croissant was born. In France, the Croissant has become more sophisticated, influenced by the cuisine style of its country. At its most basic level, it’s a frugal kind of breakfast Pastry, made from pâte feuilletée which is soft Flour of Flour, Yeast, Butter, Milk and Salt.
NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY ACTIVITIES
- The best way to enjoy a Croissant and appreciate the way they’re made is to make a Croissant from scratch which may be a time-consuming process but making your own Croissants will take you on an unforgettable culinary adventure with Buttery reward.
- Croissants are all about simplicity, but the fillings can be a unique way to take Croissants up a notch. Prepare your own savory or sweet filling. Croissants are so versatile; you’re bound to find something you’ll enjoy!
- This Pastry is all about technique instead of using fancy ingredients sometimes it’s best to bring the Croissants back to basics. Search your local area for a cooking workshop or ask your Baker for tips on making Croissants.
WHY EVERYONE LOVES NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY
- Let’s face it, everything is better with Butter. Butter gives Croissants their signature flaky, luscious layers that melt in your mouth. If you don’t end up with slightly greasy fingers, then you didn’t eat a proper Croissant.
- Is there a better way to start a Sunday morning? Scratch that—an any-day-of-the week or morning? Then a Croissant which is decadent and light, which making the Croissants the most suitable breakfast pastry.
- Crossiants are the perfect handheld treat. The flaky layers make it seem like you’re unwrapping a present even when you’re on the go.
