I have a very nostalgic reason for loving croissants: since I was young, each summer my grandma would always pick up a croissant from the Bread Box Bakery in Boyne City. But I also have a superficial reason for loving croissants: It’s Complicated. Too bad they don’t mention that it takes like 14 hours to really make croissants. I’m not about to tell you “oh!

A few times lately (including yesterday when I was working on this particular recipe), he has raved on Facebook about what I made for him.

Would You Like a Cup of Coffee…Granita? « Granita. These hot summer days call for rather unusual measures. The heat is so high that recently I’ve been finding myself freezing various things just to stay cool and within my senses – there’ve been popsicles ( strawberry or yogurt ), there’ve been tea and coffee flavored ice cubes , there’s been delicious orange granita …and now, coffee granita. Though I feel a little cooler now there’s one thing that makes me feel a little uneasy. In fact, my urge to freeze things has developed into such a state that I am becoming a little afraid…of myself (so, just for the sake of your own safety, if you don’t feel like ending up in a freezer, please, don’t come too close to me these days). There’s nothing easier than making your own homemade coffee granita. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Eggs in a basket was the first meal I ever cooked. I was in 5th grade, and it was a Sunday morning at my best friend's house after a sleepover. We woke up hungry, and for some reason his parents weren't home. This confused me--my parents would never do that--but more important than confusion was the fact that I was terribly hungry, and I didn't see how that problem was going to be solved, since his house never had any cereal in it. "We'll make eggs in a basket," my friend said, pulling out a loaf of bread, a jug of oil, and a carton of eggs.

The resulting breakfast was awesome: runny yolk and crisp bread dripping with oil (we filled the skillet so much oil it was basically deep-fried). Ideally, make this with slices of toast cut thick. I guess I have a fondness for very fast and simple eggs + bread dishes, my love of "eggy bread" evidence of this, which is basically French toast without sweetness or spices. What are your go-to quick meals when hunger looms?

Gulpiyuri Beach - A Stange Beach in the Middle of a Meadow. Tucked away into a small inland hollow, right in the middle of a meadow, Playa de Gulpiyuri is one of the most amazing beaches in the world. We’ve certainly featured some unique places here, on Oddity Central, and even a few incredible beaches, like the hot water beach of New Zealand or California’s glass beach, but none like the beach of Gulpiyuri. Located near the charming town of Llanes, on the northern coast of Spain, Gulpiyuri Beach is unlike anything I have ever seen, or even imagined existed outside of fantasy books or fictional planets.

Imagine walking over 100 meters from the sea shoreline and stumbling over a small charming beach right in the middle of a green meadow. And while you may find other beaches completely hidden from the open sea, around the world, this one is actually fully tidal and even has waves bathing the small strip of golden sand.

I followed this recipe and found the bite-sized portions to be even more appealing, and were just as good served hot as they were room temperature. Cooking Converstion Calculator | Gourmet Food.

Strawberry Cream Cheese, Recipe for Danish, Danish Pastries | La Mia Vita Dolce. Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Thursday, 31st March 2011 Breakfast pastries never last very long in our home especially fruit-filled pastries with a creamy cheese layer. Out of pure necessity I decided on Strawberry-Cream Cheese Pastries. Why? I’ve never been able to walk by a stand of beautifully displayed strawberries without purchasing a basket or two. We may love pastries, but I have a love/hate relationship with Puff Pastry.

Don’t get me wrong; store-bought puff pastry definitely has its benefits. Am I asking for too much? I have tried all the wonderful tips (for store-bought and homemade): Keep the dough cold – puff pastry works because of the layers of butter and dough. What’s a girl to do? I’m sure my rocky relationship with store-bought Puff Pastry will continue. (Inspired by Todd & Diane, White on Rice Couple - Hoping my pastries look just as good some day!)
