Today is National Croissant Day! So go get your hands on a flakey and buttery, or chocolaty croissant! To celebrate, I'm not eating croissants but writing about them and showcasing them here. Saves me some calories and I get to share my photos with you! A croissant done right has lots and lots of butter and many layers of crisp, bready perfection. I found some great ones in France and also in Seattle and Portland. I've noticed in recent years that the quality of pastries has gotten way better here as pastry chefs have opened shops and brought over techniques they learned in Europe. Which is good news for us but maybe not for our waistlines!
