Bakery

Onslaught of blogging.  RAWR!

Funny how a little change of location can really get you in the mood to blog. 

I found a bakery.  Mmmhmm. 

It's called Champs Elysees.  Creative, eh?  :-p 

Everyday at 5:30 pm they put out fresh everything.  And everything is good.  And everything is cheap.  I've never spent more than USD$6 at a time and I've got a ton of stuff! 

Examples. 

Day 1: 

The French Bread.  Oh my goodness the French Bread.  Listen to me.  This is the best french bread I've ever had and I've. Been. To. FRANCE!!! Warm from the oven.  A crisp crust with the softest center imaginable.  The slightest hint of tang.  The whole baguette is quite large, this is just 2 pieces of 7.  My mouth is watering.... 

Garlic.  I believe this is the same French recipe but as it is hot out of the oven they cut it open and put an amazing collection of butter and spices all over it.  These loaves are much smaller.  Small enough to only feel mildly bad when you eat an entire loaf... in one sitting... before it completely cools.... Judge me all you want.  I'm happy.

Cheese.  This was a mild disappointment but it was still amazing.  I'm not a huge fan of the cheese they use most here.  It is a very creamy cheese and I prefer my cheeses to have a kick!

Chocolate.  This is a chocolate bun.  Have you ever had the fresh buns from Sam's Club?  In my family we use them for ham and cheese sandwiches, and shredded beef, and a bazillion other things.  This is a sweet chocolate version of that.  FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!!!!!  My mind was blown.  As was my diet. 

If that wasn't enough.  The next day I went back. 

Day 2:

Almond.  I'm a huge fan of Bear Claws.  I love me some almond.  This was really intriguing.  The ends were quite crisp and airy.  The center was softer and a little more dense.  Over all the flavor won me over!

Sugar.  For some reason when you haven't had the opportunity to have a plain old sugar donut for months... sugar donuts are AMAZING!  This one has a slight caramely flavor and the sugar is coarser than we are used to.  Winner!

Cheese.  I actually wasn't a huge fan of this one either.  Again the cheese is far to creamy and this was mixed with some kind of mayonnaise and then broiled.  Not for me.  I bequeathed it to Ruth and two minutes it was gone so I'm going to guess she thought it was good. 

Chocolate and Peanut.  A sweet white bread filled with pure dark chocolate and covered with peanuts.  Do I need to say more?

The chocolate bun made a second appearance because I had to get it again for a second time.  Did I mention that they come in bags of three?

Hungry yet?
