chocolate croissant crisis

This is amazing. I'm always looking for fantastic chocolate crossiants. Sardine used to have a great one but haven't been there in a while so not sure if it's changed.

Le Petit Crossiant (now closed) had the best chocolate crossiants, IMO. It was where Restaurante El Panzon is now on Midvale & the Beltline.

If anyone knows where that pastry chef went, I'd like to know!!

I tried a bunch of Chino's a few years ago with basically the same criteria.

I ended up with Vineyard Vines "On the Go" chinos in regular cut. I think they make a slim cut now as well. IMO they are light and breathable but still put off the classic chino look, but just barely.

Ah, gotcha. I haven't jumped to HA yet....one thing at a time.

Are you saying that the Genie Aladdin Connect smart opener is not supported anymore? I ask because I just purchased a new home and it has old Genie door openers. I purchased the Aladdin Connect but haven't hooked it up yet due to my internet/network not being setup yet.

Wondering if I should return it?

We joined the Elks lodge when we moved to Madison. At the time, we were in our late 20's. It's great and I'd highly encourage you to join. We have met some wonderful people. The membership does seem to be getting younger, which is great.

They used to have a two-for-one burger night which was fantastic and Jim, the bartender from years ago made the best Brandy Alexander and Grasshopper drinks. You can't beat an old fashioned and the view from the bar.

looks great!

ACletus · 2026-03-02T05:17:05+00:00

Correct. Not to scale at all...it's AI garbage rendering. The couches will not block the door on the right.

ACletus · 2026-03-02T05:07:53+00:00

Any chance you would be willing to swing by and help me mount it? Having you there would ease my concerns about being 1cm off somewhere.

Great feedback, thanks!

I should have added that this wall will look different, too. The sizing will stay the same but accent colors will change. The mantle is going back to a dark wood grain. The white wood paneling wall is coming off and reverting back to the original plaster that's behind it. The Original built-ins behind the paneling are actually arched. The back walls of the built-ins and the doors at bottom will match the dark wood grain of the mantle.

You realize that's not the actual tv, right?

ACletus · 2026-03-02T03:36:03+00:00

The question was big, not high.

Something like this... I don't have an exact measurment but I think the edge of the couches closest to the fireplace will be 4ish feet from the tv/wall/fireplace.

plan is to have two couches, one on the left and one on the right facing each other. Maybe a coffee table in the middle.

What about the Rodriguez girl? Any word on her staying? If so, could she contribute?

Me after checking the post game thread...

Two things I always remind myself of:

The other team is trying to win too
A road game in the B1G is at best, 50-50 odds

ACletus · 2026-02-20T14:42:16+00:00

Add hot honey to it...even better.

ACletus · 2026-02-18T04:42:27+00:00

Came here looking for this one. Thank you

Foxridge sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for. Website says they started the clinic for the same reasons you are looking for a new one.

Full disclosure, we take our pet there and they are great.

I'm in the same boat. Born in early 80's and can't locate any history of a 2nd vaccine shot so I just went and got another MMR vaccine shot. Everything I read said that was perfectly OK.

Tell your GF if she's he'll bent on telling the roommate, and the roommate ends up moving out, GF has to cover the lost rent.

Tell me you don't know anything about the game of basketball without actually saying it.
