The luck was that there were still "9 Bean Rows" apricot pinwheels left at The Pedaling Beans coffeehouse in Lake Leelanau. Yum yum yum yum yum. I recently watched a baking show on making croissants from scratch and I can honestly say that it's never gonna happen. Baking these kind of pastries from scratch is just too labor-intensive for me, so I will leave it to the experts!
All summer long, the 9 Bean Rows bakery drops off fresh croissants on certain days of the week (Weds, Fri, Sat?). If you want to make sure that you get one, you can call and place your order ahead of time. When the shipment comes in, they dole out the pastries into the pre-order bags. That's why I felt lucky that there were some left when we came in on this particular Saturday!
On other days I have placed an order, and there is something wonderful about walking up to the counter and seeing a bag that says, "Anne Reeves" on it. It just makes me feel smart...and still pretty lucky.
A hot latte and a fresh apricot pinwheel...this is a moment of delight.
