Ode to a Croissant

O' croissant.

Sweet heavenly almond chocolate croissant.

Never did I truly know that ye' existed.

You were not what I was seeking

on this autumnal November morn.

Nay, a muffin craving had overtaken my soul -

a lemon poppyseed muffin craving -

and for 48 hours had plagued my adled mind.

I finally consented

and stopped in Bon Appetite on my way to work.

A mere three flavors to choose from.

A chocolate marble muffin into my bag.

One bite on the way to the car.

A disgrace!

I then meandered to Witherspoon Bakery

on my way to work

where, alas, they had not a single muffin in sight.

But -

praytell -

what is that I see?

A chocolate almond croissant?

A flakey croissant top,

a moist and buttery cake center,

a hint of almond and smooth chocolate filling.

My tummy groans

with three days worth of calories

yet it is happy

so happy.

O' heaven, I have found thee!*
