Why is the croissant so elusive?
When I lived in Vancouver, it was impossible to get a croissant after 8:00 in the morning, they were all sold out. So, I moved to this little town. And the first couple days I found a little coffee shop that had huge bundles of them, all the time. Now, the last few times I went in there the guy has told me they won't be ready for awhile! WHat the hell???? Why can't I get croissants?

On the upside, I think I found other liberals. The coffee shop had some guy on the radio slamming Rush and talking about how democrats died in vietnam, and Iwojima and how republicans try to make the public think that dems aren't real americans. It was pretty good.

3. I'm still looking for REAL croissants
I don't want a pre-formed, flash frozen, greasy, chewy, assembly line constructed roll like most places have. Lazy bastards.

I think I found my 2 hour cooking project for today.
