Croissants
It happens that the items that we ordered “online” have arrived at the house just as I am thinking of asking Atlanta to stop our laps on the bicycle round the house. I am pressed to help her carry half of the load to the pantry, like a servant, but at least I can get off the bicycle without having to think up excuses. – Well, the experience was quite enjoyable during the first thirty laps or so, but beyond that….
And now, Atlanta is cheerfully ushering me through the steps of baking yet another food. – Mother would be so amused with how much time I have spent in a kitchen, not only pillaging the foods but also making them….
Well, at least, here, I need not compete with the likes of Thor and Volstagg for the best bits of the food on offer. And the “croissant” that Atlanta has us bake now does taste exotically good, with layers of rich, savoury flour and various fillings.
Better yet, like with the chocolate drink, I can implement my own variations to the original recipe in yet another series of experiments that my hostess heartily condones and in fact participates in. How enjoyable!
