Croissants and BBQ . . .
This morning started with our usual coffee and a good surprise.
Jan found another package of the Williams-Sonoma Croissants in the back of the freezer.
This is my blog post from December:
And to go with it, we had one of the gifts we got from Brandi and Lowell, a box of Williams-Sonoma Croissants.
These croissants are fantastic, so good, in fact, that they’re on the list of Oprah’s Favorites.
They come out looking like this, but they start as little frozen logs. There were two types in our box, plain and chocolate-filled. And both are delicious.
They’re shipped overnight, frozen in a Styrofoam container. You let them thaw out and rise for 9 hours and then pop them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or 13 minutes in our convection oven.
They come out crispy, flakey, and fantastic.
MMM! MMM! Good!
About 1:30 pm we heading out up to Bend for lunch and some shopping. On the way we dropped a package in the mail to our grandson Landon, and then it was on to Baldy’s BBQ. It was highly recommended by both locals and online, and we had to give it a try.
I mean, you’ve got to love a BBQ place that uses this logo,
and is owned by guy with my hairline. What more can I say?
I had a Combo plate with Pulled Pork, BBQ Chicken, and Beef Brisket with a delicious salad. I order the beans extra because I’d heard how good they were. This is a lot of food for $10.50.
Jan had the full rack of ribs with cole slaw, beans, spicy potato salad, and honey-jalapeno cornbread.
This was really good BBQ, with the sides to match. We’ll definitely go back again before we leave.
Leaving Baldy’s we headed over to Lowe’s to pick up some cleaning stuff, and then it was on to Fred Meyer’s for some groceries.
Leaving Fred’s we stopped for a Cinnamon Dolce Latte at the Starbuck’s next door before heading home.
And on the way home we made a happy discovery, a Boston’s Pizza, our favorite pizza chain. We’ve eaten at Boston’s from Fairbanks, AK, to Jacksonville, FL, to Rapid City, SD, to Moncton, NB, Canada, and it’s always been great.
We’re thinking about doing a movie tomorrow, and hopefully we’ll eat at Boston’s afterwards.
Coming home I stopped at the park store and signed up for the honey wagon to come by tomorrow morning and dump our tanks. We could make it till Tuesday when we leave, but Jan really wants to do some laundry, so this will take care of that.
