*blushes* Eeeeyeah... after the second time I devoured their entire stock inside an hour, I'm not allowed to go there anymore. Downside of having a hybrid form.

On the subject of desserts, Curtis's favorite doughnut shop from back in Michigan went up for sale this past winter. He thinks it might not be open for too much longer, but he's keeping me updated.

Hope it survives the change.

RIP Donut shop.

I miss a bagel place that is now a windows store. They had every kind they could get ingredients for and weren't the wimpy just center punched dough...

[CRBWildcat]

Hope it survives the change.

So do I. That place has been around for decades, and aside from doughnuts it was also an excellent bakery all-around. I remember going there every Saturday morning.

The best sales are legacy. my favorite chinese food place was a place that the owners sold to their head cook. A mexican man. it wasnt until his kids tried to take over 15 years later that anything changed.

[CRBWildcat]

I'm not sure who the owners are for the doughnut shop. I want to say that they had Eastern Europe roots, given that they seemed to sell specific desserts only at a specific time of year, but my memory escapes me on that.

[Spokavriel]

Makes me wish I still had the book Baked in Tradition. It had recipes for all European and Asian holidays with stories as to the significance of the foods.

[CRBWildcat]

Sounds like my kind of book.

[Spokavriel]

It originally was sold with a sampler of the most shelf stable recipes to encourage you to try them all.

[CRBWildcat]

Kinda makes me wonder if Zelas has anything like that. Sheesh, I haven't visited her in a while...

[Spokavriel]

Well if she is into scholastic publishing... ((This was a real book that was really sold with a food sampler tray shrink wrapped to it.))

[CRBWildcat]

She's always seemed the cookbook-y type to me.

[Spokavriel]

Cooking is fun but with all the Chaos at her house she could deny their lack of existence them into ready to eat existence.

[CRBWildcat]

...True. I hadn't really thought of that.
