Very quickly I would like to say an enormous thank you for your support last week - I was terrified of putting out a paid subscription option for this little newsletter.
So excited to finally be able to support as a paid subscriber! You put so much work into these and I always enjoy reading. As for me I love the simpler tips and leftover scrap recipes. More doable is always a good thing. 🥰
Oh thank you for this delightful read!! Maybe there was something in the air this past week because I was feeling considerably underwhelmed with my life in general for absolutely no apparent reason!!!
I had a lovely weekend of pottering & cooking, a farewell/engagement party, church & reading a new book (which is always a tonic for me).
I fly out early in the morning for a week long retreat.
So, life is pretty amazing & yet, there it was, this dampening of my spirits.
I love your suggestions around using up scraps & isn’t it wonderful when we discover a way to use up leftovers that just gives an altogether more magical offering than its predecessor.
Happy new week & may spring give you more blossoms & joy!
I know it’s impossible not to feel that pressure, but truly my support is no strings attached, rather backpay for all the lovely things you’ve shared with us in the past, and just something to help offset the cost of ingredients. You always pull off a stellar post though!! Your writing is just so fluid and interesting to read! The almond croissants look amazing. The other thing i can think of, I guess, for large scale croissant leftovers is to chuck them into the freezer until you are ready for it, but you can make something like a bread pudding with them, or even croutons??

Thanks! Isn't life just a bunch of scraps put all together anyway.
Oh Steph I was afraid you would feel that pressure once the paid stuff started
