A few signs of spring in the 'hood'! Slow but sure the cold is giving way to a bit warmer weather!
I've packed away my long-underwear for my morning walks and I'm seeing flowering buds that will soon turn into lovely cherries in my garden. I won't hold my breath, Easter Morning was a typical one, rain! You can't organize an Easter Egg Hunt for an 18 year old, so I greeted the morning with a power-walk with Max. Max would have been happy to hunt for eggs, I remember old T-Bone would find week old eggs in the garden that we missed! Mmmmmm, the smell of eggs rotting in the garden were a real treat to an Old Lab!
Easter Sunday I made a batch of Croissant Dough, to be turned into Pain au Chocolate! A two day event that concluded this morning! See the progress below!
I think the dough could have used another half hour of proofing, but the results weren't bad. Plus I was out of eggs for the egg wash. Oh well! I have the other half waiting in the fridge for another try!
