And that day, the Napoleon was calling my name.
If you're anything like me, the pastry case at a good European restaurant is impossible to resist. The first time I ever ate a slice of a true European-style Napoleon pastry was sitting on the patio of a restaurant called The Alpenrose on a gorgeous fall afternoon in Vail, one of my favorite Colorado mountain towns. ( Who am I kidding with all this talk of wishes? I've totally made that three-times-a-day situation happen in my life.)
If I could, I would eat a slice for breakfast, as a mid-afternoon snack, and for dessert later that night. The Napoleon dessert is a popular French pastry for good reason. The Napoleon (Mille Feuille) is One of the World's Most Popular Desserts
