I joked with some friends that I wanted to win over the beau’s mother one French pastry at a time.<\/p>\n

I was joking.<\/p>\n

No, seriously, I have wanted to make croissants for years. At this point, for over ten years. Time is funny like that. Ten years ago, for example, if you told me that I would have ever completed a marathon, I would have looked at you politely, but wondered what your home planet was. If you told me that it would take over ten years for me to finally make croissants, I would silently wonder just what made you underestimate \u00a0me so.<\/p>\n
