After being told by 3 different people at various immigration offices that I wasn't eligible for an unrestricted work visa until I had been here 5 years, I finally found someone who referred me to the right person who knew what she was doing. So now, after 4 trips in one week to various different offices I have been granted an unrestricted work visa - for the last three years I have had to go to immigration every time I was offered a contract, and then wait 6-8 weeks for the permission to work. I am now allowed to do any job I want, or, I will when I actually get the stamp in my passport (which may take another couple of weeks).
In celebration I decided to make some Croissants (and a few Petit pain au Chocolat) on the weekend, Sourdough of course...
I always knew that Croissants weren't particularly healthy but it wasn't until making them that I realised just how unhealthy they are!
This is a photo of the dough after I had it had rested in the fridge overnight. It is layers of butter and dough (which also has butter in it)
After rolling the above dough out I then cut it into triangles
and then left them to proof for a while
They went beautifully with an espresso and some home made Rasberry Jam given to us by our good friend Maike. The perfect sunday brekky!
YUM!
Check out the recipe
