I have redacted the swear word from your post. I've already missed 2 days of work and will probably miss 2 or 3 more because of that stuff. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

miplet Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 8 Posts: 975 | I did get suspended for 3 days for saying “I was brewing the f$@#*ing coffee, ok”. But that was a while ago. When it’s 0°C (32°F) or less precipitation comes down as this white flakes. This makes driving difficult and for some reason people don’t go out to McDonald’s to eat. This means we closed early or did not open at all. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

The place I stay regularly in St. Martin is on the French side of the island. Incredible croissants made by real French people. I will eat two plain ones for breakfast with some butter on them, Before I go to bed I like to have a chocolate one as a desert or bedtime snack.

I've been doing a lot of baking and cooking this past year. I've toyed with making real croissants several times, but man, they are a lot of work over 2 days! I have a lot more respect for the price of the good ones after looking into making them myself. And the kits in the dairy department don't come close. I spent 5 days in Paris, probably didn't go a day without a croissant. O.M.G. So good. The best ones don't need butter, jelly, anything, they're just crusty buttery heaven. The only ones I didn't like were from a bakery that used rosewater in all their baking. Apparently that's a distinctive French flavoring, but yecch. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I love baked goods but carbs are a killer for me. They're so bad for you, I gave them up 2 years ago and never looked back. I feel better than I've felt in years on under 20g of carb a day. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
