In 2019 Trader Joe's starting carry chocolate croissants that were made in San Francisco and they were good. They always sold out so you had to know when the truck arrived. I've been noticing that they were getting smaller and smaller. Today when I picked up some for Jip and Mees I was shocked to see how small they have gotten. Now two croissants are the same size as just one of the original ones. I think now for the price, it's just more cost effective to go to the fancy bakeries and buy a full size one. The TJ staff now call these chocolate buns instead of croissants. Mees knew I had gotten these and was very insistent that he have some for his breakfast!
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
