I'm wondering how, in the absence of croissants, the almond creme itself could be made into a stand-alone dessert. Or what if you left the eggs out? Or what if I just right now go open a 5# box of sugar and dip almonds in it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-90458917887671183042008-03-13T15:52:00.000+01:002008-03-13T15:52:00.000+01:00Thank you for sharing this " know-how" about les c...Thank you for sharing this " know-how" about les croissants aux amandes. Now I just have to try it one of these week-ends so that I can make some for X-mas holidays. I do buy a half-dozen from the bakery because they are cheaper but during the holidays I am not sure they are that fresh because we have to order everything in advance- baguettes/cakes and viennoises from the bakery/pastry storeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-90977975807132893492008-03-13T15:22:00.000+01:002008-03-13T15:22:00.000+01:00Oh, happy happy day!

I now know how to make croissants aux amandes- i must remember to make them only on special occasions lol.<BR/><BR/>I've been watching the $ slide into the loo this week, seems to happen right before I come to Europe. I used to hope that it would reverse itself, but that was a pipe dream. This time next year we will have a new person in charge and hopefully the dollar will improve or stablize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-83447898791995079582008-03-13T15:07:00.000+01:002008-03-13T15:07:00.000+01:00This is exciting because I can buy the croissants....This is exciting because I can buy the croissants. The sauce looks easy to do. That will be fun!<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, you asked about snow. Beaver told you about Montreal. We had those storms in Toronto too. 40centimetres! We don't know where to put it. Crashes pile up:1,700. It's coming again in the next 2 days. Wind constantly howling.<BR/>Last time winter was that bad in Eastern Ontario: 1938.<BR/><BR/>That's why I need comfort food, flowers and Callie's pics, day after day.Merci!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-74458466136161852302008-03-13T14:16:00.000+01:002008-03-13T14:16:00.000+01:00I am indeed watching, and Clothilde is indeed a st...I am indeed watching, and Clothilde is indeed a star.<BR/><BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-64616348750287129032008-03-13T14:11:00.000+01:002008-03-13T14:11:00.000+01:00At last - a use for English supermarket croissants...At last - a use for English supermarket croissants!!<BR/><BR/>I hope Susan is watching....<BR/><BR/>SimonSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-30345957359519178812008-03-13T12:49:00.000+01:002008-03-13T12:49:00.000+01:00You've inspired me to try this out.
