Easy Tiger 01/27/2012
 So I didn't wake up yesterday to run around my apartment, snatching up clothes and throwing together a poorly aligned sandwich (you know what I'm talking about...tomatoes are sliding out of one side, a thick glob of mustard pools near the northern crust.) No, I woke up and went to acupuncture. RELAXING. Then, I decided to go to work late. And when you go to work late, you revel in the freedom of making a less-than-practical choice. So you make another. I stopped by Easy Tiger yesterday because I wanted a croissant and a 3 dollar cup of coffee. This bake shop and beer garden has been getting buzz for months...and it finally opened on Monday. I walked through the doors and saw this....a wall decorated in loaves and pretzels and baguettes. I ordered. I admired the GORGEOUS bakery--who know ovens could gleam so brightly?-and then I peeled back layer after layer of my perfectly laminated croissant. HEAVEN.  Comments01/27/2012 12:43pm
Monet, it's pretty easy to picture you as the gracious owner of a shop like the Easy Tiger, eating your croissant and tapping away at your latest novel on your laptop during the slow part of the afternoon. Monet 01/27/2012 2:51pm
You are too sweet! I would love to make that a reality. I'm working on it! 01/27/2012 1:16pm
I haven't had a croissant in ages. They're so delicious, I need to find a shop like this near me. There MUST be one somewhere. Monet 01/27/2012 2:52pm
Yes! They are amazing...when you can find a good bakery. But with all that butter, how could they not be? :-) 01/27/2012 3:01pm
I love how you started your day - with leisure, and freedom,....and the courage to bear the consequences - gorgeous croissants! And I know what you mean about two decisions, on the back of going to work late. Hope all is well and you're finding your pace/balance. Lots of love - have a great weekend 01/27/2012 4:38pm

Easy Tiger looks like an amazing bakery. All those baguettes and croissants...mmm! Good for you to go to work late and get acupuncture. I bet it was amazing:)xx 01/29/2012 4:22am
What a treasure of a bakery you have close by! I think I am going to scour Austin or Dallas to visit a special one soon, now that I have seen this. Very inspiring! 01/29/2012 5:14am
I would love to visit the EASY TIGER too...nice that you have enjoyed your day with some quality croissants and coffee. 01/29/2012 8:31am
This place looks marvelous! I agree... once you make one "bad" choice, why not make another! I would be all over this place! Everything looks delicious! 01/29/2012 9:03am
That place is adorable...looks like it's worth the drive up from SA to check it out!! Where is it located, exactly? I need to make the drive up one Saturday very soon...it's nearly time for a mega Whole Foods and Waterloo visit!! 01/29/2012 12:29pm

I love days like this and am wishing for a bakery like this one in my town. The beer garden bakery combo is definitely a new idea to me...and I love it! Wishing you more days of relaxation and good food in the week ahead :) Leave a Reply |
