Ah, nostalgia time. From the Alpes to Delaware...karma, anyone? The view outside my office window this morning looks a tiny bit like Grenoble, without the Alpes, the ski slopes and the fun little cafes.Mary Kennedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130745617608016372.post-49416639279786235642010-01-30T19:10:37.999-08:002010-01-30T19:10:37.999-08:00Cleo, horrors, indeed!

It...I thought you might get a kick out of this one. It's in my research file under the category: Culinary Horrors! Some time ago, I looked into the ingredients for a Dunkin' Donuts plain croissant. Below is what I found. Guess what's NOT in there: butter. Yes, there is no BUTTER in a D&D croissant. Fairly frightening! :)<br /><br />Cheers!<br />~ Cleo<br /><a href="http://www.coffeehousemystery.com/" rel="nofollow"> Coffeehouse Mystery.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.mysteryloverskitchen.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Lovers' Kitchen</a><br /><br /><br />INGREDIENTS: Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour (Flour, Enzyme, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Palm Oil, Sugar, Canola and/or Soybean Oil, Contains less than 2% of the following: Margarine [Vegetable Oils (Palm, Canola), Water, Mono and Diglycerides, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Citric Acid, Artificial Flavor, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3], Yeast, Wheat Gluten, Salt, Artificial Flavor, DATEM, Dextrose, Corn Syrup Solids, Fructose, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Monoglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Locust Bean Gum, Colored with (Turmeric and Annatto Extracts), Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Leavening (Baking Soda), Azodicarbonamide. <br /><br />Be afraid.

Top with a pat of butter. <br /><br />Zap in the microwave until the butter's melted. The chips will also have melted. Stir the butter in. (You'll have a jam-consistency spread.) <br /><br />Cut open a croissant. Slather with chocolate spread. Close back up again and Zap in the microwave for a few seconds. Just enough to warm up the croissant.<br /><br />Enjoy.Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597301821068526313noreply@blogger.com
