yesterday, i had my first two kolaches ever (from lone star kolaches).
today, at 7am, i had two more lone star kolaches, and soon after purchased
these from the one-block-away kolache factory. yes, i have coupons expiring
tomorrow, and, having discovered their brilliance, i will not let a free kolache go
unclaimed.
