I got sucked into paying FULL-PRICE for *bake from scratch* magazine (an obscene $12.99)

because there was a chocolate-filled brioche on the cover that I want to marry and have little bobbled-head children with.

But I'M UPSET that I paid this price because I didn't get what I really wanted: instructions based on an article titled "The Quest for the Perfect Croissant." Croissants are the final frontier for my self-taught baking experience and I *assumed* the "bake from scratch" magazine would provide intimate details to--you know--BAKE FROM SCRATCH!

But noooooo! Not only is there NO RECIPE or HELPFUL HINTS, the ENTIRE article is about pastry shops IN PARIS! So it's not bad enough that I didn't get instruction to make them, they rub it in my face that I can't even taste the damn things unless I first renew my expired passport and then spend a few thousand $$$ to track down and enjoy the recommended "BEST" croissants in Paris

Why couldn't the article title splashed on the cover have read: "The Quest for the Perfect Croissant IN PARIS"?

PS: It really is a gorgeous magazine. But I'm still upset.

 
If you want a refund, demand it. I did with a magazine DH thought I would love

(Racheal Ray's) and I got it. THAT magazine is a true train wreck and I am not a Racheal hater.
BUT it can happen with firmness to the customer service agent--and a slight nudge, like, I post on several cooking forums, etc.

 
I used to be able to buy Wild Rice and Onion hamburger buns from a local supermarket

which was one of Peter's recipe. They were very low in calories and absolutely the best buns ever. They came from a bakery in the San Francisco area I believe. They no longer make them and I am just sick. I have tried to get a few local bakeriers to tackle them but they won't saying there are too many steps and wild rice is too expensive.

 
The rest of the magazine is really nice, so I don't feel I should get my money back.

I should have looked through the magazine first, but actually wanted to savor the thrill of reading the article over a nice latte.

(Good grief, I just realize how pathetic my thrill meter is.)
