Here we go...

Giant croissant!  Yes, I know it looks like a maggot, and no, I don't mind.

And so it began.  It was December 2006, six months after I moved to Italy to be with my husband, Will.  He took me on a romantic Army-sponsored trip to Lugano, Switzerland, where we saw a gorgeous lake and a beautiful-but-sort-of-frightening-up-close swan roaming the streets.  We took this photo for the novelty of it.  I remember thinking as I stood there, "Wow, this giant croissant is scented!"  A split second later I realized that the door of the corresponding bakery was open and wafting out delicious bready smells.  To this day I have yet to discover a scented giant food item... not for lack of trying.

What my loved ones have to say about it:
Amber:  That croissant could eat you!!
