Even one from Aunt Ruth! :) (The butter is worth at least one taste, Auntie, but the problem is stopping at ONE!) Again, you all make my day...Jana I'm so glad it inspired you to dig out the recipe! Your singing time around the fireside--now *that's* inspiring! Amy, I can just see the pretty cookies hanging on your tree...just long enough to take pictures of it! Of course they don't last long! Mmm! Leticia, I'd love to share the recipe, but it truly is 3 pages long, I might have to scan it and send it as an attachment! As for the croissants, we have one gallon size Ziplock left after sharing with the family this Thanksgiving... Mom, your culinary halo was in place Thursday and Friday! Did you leave it here? (Here's hoping) :) What a lot of great comments! Even one from Aunt Ruth! :) (The butter is worth at least one taste, Auntie, but the problem is stopping at ONE!)

I looked in my culinary mirror this morning and woe is me! I can't find my halo anywhere! By the way, one of the best cookbooks I have, and huge, is Beard's "Breads". That croissant recipe is a combination of several different ones. And now I've found one that is easier to make but the flavor isn't up to the 3-page one (Ha, Jana). Have Mary give you her recipe for bagels sometime. Now THEY are fun to make! Mary! I looked in my culinary mirror this morning and woe is me! I can’t find my halo anywhere!

I don't think I've ever had one of her croissants - not that she's not generous, she is, but because of the butter... tsk tsk here come the calories. Is there anything she cannot tackle in the kitchen. Now, this lovely lady, mother to Mary, is my sister.

We have a quiet weekend & I think I might have all the ingredients. Your descriptions are TOO accurate, they are making my mouth water in anticipation. Now, where IS that 3 age recipe passed on to me. What a lovely tribute to your lovely mother! Thanks both of you for sharing with our family! OK, I’m inpsired!
