Not a bad Monday. Great day at work! Productive meeting, with intelligent participants, and good dialog. A rejuvenating hike at dusk with our two dogs. And Chocolate Almond Croissants...which fills the house with the scent of all things buttery, chocolatey, and wonderful! These little treats are only a humble approximation of the authentic French ones that you'll find at a
patisserie, but they do the trick if you want to feel like you're someplace outside of your own house, and they smell wonderful! Making it is as simple as toast, Or two words: "crescent rolls".
1. Fill crescent rolls with chocolate of some type (I like semi-sweet chocolate morsels, or Nutella)
2. Brush rolls with egg wash (1 egg white + a dash of water, lightly beaten), then sprinkle on slivered almonds
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 11 to 13 minutes.
Decorate with melted chocolate, if you wish. And get a good whiff of it before you eat. Enjoy!

Absolutely, shortcuts are meant to be used!
