If you didn't already know, croissants have a lot of butter..

But that's ok. According to S., butter is good for you. I'll spare everyone the extremist nutrition lecture I was subjected to. Since I've had an easier couple of weeks at work and school lately, and the sun has finally decided to end its boycott, I had some time yesterday to undergo the long process that is croissant-making. The actual time spent working on them isn't that demanding, it's the weird waiting periods.  To make sure the butter is mostly solid and doesn't melt into a greasy gooey heavenly mess, between working the dough into all those flaky layers I refrigerated it in intervals.

I can't believe it's all butter:


Mmm... breakfast in the morning. Some are chocolate filled, and some are plain, meant to be eaten with more butter and maybe some jam. Notice baby croissant! I shall name him Croissito:


For dinner, a slightly healthier option:
Chicken with mushroom sauce. Simple and heartwarming.
