What Do You Call a Kolache With No Filling?

Bread.

I went to get my usual breakfast this morning at the Kolache Shop.

When Silverman introduced me to them earlier this year, he claimed they were, "the best Kolaches in Houston." Generally, when Silverman says anything is the "best in Houston" we're riding the hype train to disappointment. But, when I actually ate them, and subsequently ate other places kolaches, I was nothing but impressed. Inexpensive (bout a $1.50 a pop) and deliciousness filled within. Usually, I get (2) sausage egg and cheese, and (2) bacon egg and cheese.

Well I ventured out this morning to go get some delicious goodness in my stomach (along with a coffee from Seattle's Best) and came back to "hunker down" in the library (see definition 2). I ate three, then waited to eat the third. Well, this one seemed extra "bready" and so I ate around the outside, trying to save the scrumptious filling in the middle. Only, there wasn't any filling. It was a kolache with no filling! Oh the tragedy. So now I sit, disappointed, and wishing I had eaten a kolache with sauasge, egg, and cheese inside. But alas, I'll have to wait until the next time I go for breakfast.

I should note that this is the first time this has happened, and you should really check out the Kolache Shop (near Lenny's underneath the Waste Management tower in the Tunnels).
