best croissants and chocolate croissants ever? the ones in the freezer at trader joe's! i will never be buying them "fresh" at a bakery/coffeeshop again!
you were right! man, i don't like chocolate in my croissants but when i was buying the mini croissants the TJ's employees kept saying "you know, the chocolate croissants are really good." I guess TJ's guys like chocolate croissants!
Best make-yourself-croissants are at Mountain View's Milkpail!!!! They come frozen - take the allotted number out the night before, let defrost and rise (and they will rise spectacularly, so if you cover it with a lid, make sure that it sits at least 6" above the table surface. Don't want to come back to see the croissant sticking to the lid because it'll deflate when you try to pull the two apart.), and then stick in the oven and bake to wonderful crispy, flaky-but-moist-like-I've-never-had-before croissant yumminess. Also, another tip is to let it rise on the baking sheet that you're going to bake them one. I use a silpat on top of a baking sheet. That way, you don't have to worry about moving the delicate puffs, and can just pop them into the oven

^_^ <3 you too!!! (it's been forever since I've seen you, but I'm glad that we can keep in touch in slightly-less conventional ways... over a common love of food, hehe :D )
i bought the puff pastry - will try making our own turnovers soon (the picture on the box reminded me of the pepperidge farm ones i love). until then, we used a whole sheet on a chicken pot pie kind of thing - but instead of individual bowls we made it in a casserole and put the pastry on top to bake it!
haha okay so i've been neglecting lj a bit but i love this entry. first, i love food, but i don't eat fish or sushi. yeah, and i'm japanese. and i live in hawaii. that goes over really well. i mean, seriously, i WISH i liked those things. i try to eat fish in small doses. but i can not even be in the vicinity of a sushi bar, as the smell makes me want to barf.
second, my other half has the craziest food preferences and even after almost a year together (and we see each other and eat dinner together every day), i still have not figured it all out. he says things just to torture me. one day he'll proclaim, "i don't like cheese," and then the next day, he'll say, "ooh, cheese," as he steals bites from one of my cheesy delights.

cheese is so tricky. I bet everyone has "edible" and "inedible" cheese classifications, just different sizes of those respective categories!
