I do have the tendency of flying off the tangent from time to time. I was planning to write about all pretty boys I have met in my life earlier. I have even thought about several stories and plots that are worth posting.
However, as soon as I spotted the croissants sitting in the oven waiting to come out in Pret a Manger, I decided to write about croissants. The Pret clerk was about to give me the pathetic looking croissant from the shelf, I smilled and said "I am going to wait for the fresh batch"
5 mininutes later, I have got the most awesome croissant of the whole world (which made me the happies person. Forgetting about pretty boys, I think coissants are very sexy).
The timing and temperature are so important in determining the fluffy-ness and buttery-ness of this pastry. The heat keeps the butter soft, moist air carrying out the mellow butter smell from the hollow but elastic interior. A croissant is less flaky in such a high temperature so you waste little crusty pastry skin on your face.
When you feel the drinking-too-hot-soup-too-fast sensation inside your mouth skin after consuming a whole coissant, you know you have got the ideal temperature.

Yep... you are officially crazy...... I have to say that the same thing applies to pretty girls...
you see a pretty girl... but then you look again, you see some flaws... yep... you wait.... and then 5 minutes later the girl of your dreams turns up... the texture of her skin... perfect... etc.... so when you feel the drinking-too-hot-soup-too-fast sensation inside your stomach.... you've got right one....
see, now I've gone mad....
But hot croissants are far more satisfying
oh come on....
1) croissants
pointless french invention... because they couldnt handle the fact that the british could do SO MUCH MORE with bread... e.g. gypsie toast...(the best invention if you ask me...!)
2) pretty girls
pointless invention...
ok I see your point..!
Something wonderful is about to happen...
