Mary Berry is disappointed in you.
I wouldn't have survived the first day!
Fortunately the attendees were all 9 year old boys so they didn't care as long as it had frosting.
It completely fell apart without eggs, of course.

Mary Berry is disappointed in you.
She really is.
I set aside half the dough; I wonder if I can sprinkle salt in between the layers and do a few more folds...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds like it could be extra amazing.

Is the butter salted? Honestly, I could see the croissants being fine minus the added salt, depending on toppings, filling. They're all about the butteriness.
Oh, I've not told you about my new favorite market treat: spinach & feta croissant. It's glorious. And the Pumpkin tries to steal it from me.
I got about an hr reprieve between the migraine painless thing and a massive sinus headache, so that was fun. I'm blaming hormones and the weather being unsettled (chance of thunderstorms tonight. & it was in the 60s.)

From what I've learned from GBBO, salt interferes with dough rising, so salt-less croissants may be even more puffy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
chance of thunderstorms tonight.
It's 57 and thundering RIGHT NOW. This weather is bonkers.

That might not be a bad thing. Messier eating. (My cats would love that.)

You're usually a few hours ahead of me in bonkers weather, so ....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have no croissants, and this really doesn't seem fair.
I had weird vertigo yesterday, which I'm guessing had to do with whatever front was blowing in. Either that, or it's related to whatever husband and I came down with. We're wondering if it might not have been a really mild case of the flu, mitigated by the flu shot. We just each keep getting random bursts of feeling like hell.
