getting ready
I was in Boulder this morning to 1) get some chocolate croissants 2) drop Jeremy off at work 3) get remaining backpacking foods and 4) get my bubble curtain at McGuckin. The best Safeway in town is on 28th and Iris. The Wild Oats are all okay, but the Baseline Wild Oats is my favorite (I think they have the best meat counter). I was looking for a good bakery in town to pick up filled croissants. The Great Harvest Bread Company was listed as #1 by the Boulder Weekly, but when I went online to get a look at their menu – no dice. If you don’t have internet advertising, that’s a big X in my book. Runner up was Breadworks – and at least they had a page with menu and hours. I hit the jackpot.
sweetness and light: chocolate-filled and almond-filled croissants
savory: ham and cheese, broccoli and cheese croissants
Why the croissants? Well… these are some of the most digestible, tasty, calorie-packed, and easy foods to take backpacking for short trips.
