BREAKING NEWS: Breakfast pastry proves "disappointing"

Reports are streaming into THN headquarters, regarding Esther's recent encounter with an almond croissant. Our reporter on the scene confirmed that Esther was "deeply disappointed" by the croissant, which was purchased from her beloved coffee cart, on the corner of 8th Avenue and 39th Street in Manhattan. She went on to say that the croissant in question had "an odd, funny taste," but despite its flaws, she ate it anyway. To distract herself from the deep disappointment of her breakfast pastry, which is a rare treat for Esther, whose usual breakfast consists of a coffee and a few cigarettes, Esther has been looking up recipes for Olive Oil cake online, since she got to the office. She plans to commence actual work shortly.

The croissant itself was unavailable for comment.
