Kouign-amann is a buttery, layered cake hailing from the Brittany region of France. These pastries boast a sugary, shatteringly crisp exterior that gives way into a deliciously airy, tender interior. To make the pastries, a butter block is tucked into a yeasted dough and folded, rolled, and turned to make a layered dough separated by the butter. This is known as a laminated dough. While the directions might seem lengthy, making kouign-amann is all about repetition and practice with an impressive reward. Similar to croissants, the buttery kouign-amann is a slightly sweeter version tempered by a balancing bit of salt and a hint of warm cinnamon. Each bite is like a celebration, showering you with flaky bits like confetti.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
