Turkey. Cheddar. Green chile. On a gosh darn fresh, scratch made flakey croissant. This hunk of burning chile crispy yellow cheddar love has been on the menu for a few months and I thought ‘wow, I mean, it’s selling but not as popular as I expected it to be.’ Because it’s my favorite so it should automatically be your favorite, too. And, then I remembered a phrase today while I was making lemon cream and chocolate chip cookies at the same time that pretty well could have been a tagline of my sweet childhood: “I forgot.”
All of us are special, and my brain has this special feature where I think everyone I know has already met each other and I forget to make proper introductions, and I generally expect that everything I know everyone else already knows… like, if I know it it’s so obvious- pedestrian, you know? So why would we talk about it? There’s so much to talk talk talk about already! And you know I always have a million things to say.
So, you see, I assumed you’d see the green Chile cascading down the perfectly blistered tillamook cheddar which melted just so perfectly encasing (but not shrouding) a mound of shaved oven roasted turkey and think, ‘yep, that’s the breakfast for me!’ But I also forgot that the light at the end of the case first thing in the morning approximately 6ft 3inches from the register isn’t quite strong enough to illuminate this masterpiece piled up between ham and Swiss croissants and Monte Cristos, especially when you are on your way to work Friday morning and wondering will there be treats in the break room today or should you just get your own or, wait, should YOU get treats for the break room? and, alas…
So now I have remembered to tell you, and I’m sure there have been so many other pastries on the menu over the years which I forgot to tell you all about but one way or another, you find out and they find their way to you, just like these have and will continue to do. But now you *officially* know.
