Poolside, no less!
A body of water nearby makes everything taste better
Oh my. We’re supposed to get snow today. I need warmth!
Come on down! There’s always room for more at our kitchen table
I wish😼
To make our return to the bitter cold ever so slightly sweeter, I ordered a few treats from the excellent new patisserie while we were driving home: CC cookie with walnuts, triple chocolate pistachio cookie, Istanbul truffle, mocha bomb.
Delivered to our doorstep just in time for our coffee
Tillamook coffee almond fudge ice cream with black figs & toffees in celebration of International Ice Cream Day
Are those the English toffees from Trader Joe’s? I still have my container from pre-Christmas purchase. I have 1 (OK, sometimes I have 2) a night.
Yes, ma’am! I LOVE THEM (and we have a dangerous bucket of them in our pantry ).
Oh, mine’s on my kitchen counter, so they’re VISIBLE ALL THE TIME. But I stick with the 1 or 2 a night.
I had FOUR.
I had to, bc we had no cake in the house to celebrate International Cake & Ice Cream Day
Delivered just in time for our afternoon coffee
The owner herself delivered these. TBH she looked a bit frazzled. As much as she is happy about the publicity and orders, she seems to have a hard time keeping up — the Dubai truffles in particular have been sold out for a while, but she promised to make new ones tonight (and we have a 30% off code for our next order ).
She also gave us an extra cookie just bc. I told her the pistachio cookies were the best rendition so far. She said she reduced the amount of chocolate, which made the pistachio butter and flavor stand out more.
Big spread of milk bar sweets for a work event. I tried it all. Every single thing was too sweet, devoid of textural contrast, and cloyingly flavored.
My condolences!
Picked up Tillamook German Chocolate Cake ice cream on a whim (Mr. Bionda’s whim, to be precise) the other day, and busted into it tonight. Could have used more coconut for my taste, but very nice chocolate flavor and the cake pieces were on point (more like fudgy brownie pieces). Would buy again.
Our latest order from Pouf Patisserie just arrived
The last triple chocolate pistachio cookie that was in stock, and 4 Dubai truffles.
I think we tried that one once, but from their chocolate collection I still like the chocolate hazelnut the best. Rivers of Nutella/hazelnut fudge, and lotsa nuts
