| - my only regret is that i'd never been to this bakery before last weekend.
perhaps with good reason since:
a) i can still fit into my skinny jeans now, and
b) it's a bit pricey when you consider how much i now plan to go.
c) just cancel out a)
so, on my first and only trip i bought for a potluck:
i) 3 empanadas (veggie, chicken, and beef). The pastry for all is the same: really flaky and dry, in a good way. I preferred the veggie empanada because, when i forked into it, a small amount of savoury veggie sauce helped moisten the mouthfuls of crust. I found the chicken and beef fillings to be a bit dry to accompany the great pastry.
ii) Two handfuls of spicy cheese & anchovy bread twists. They were very crisp and buttery. I was surprised that they were sold by weight, rather than by the piece. I asked the cashier to pack them inside the box of empanadas, otherwise the twists never would have made it to their destination without crumbling.
The potluck people liked all of the items.
Next time I go, I want to try the blueberry muffins. While I was there, a guy came in to purchase one, claiming to have 'come all the way from LA for these muffins'. Alas, the blueberry muffins were sold out. When told to come tomorrow, and mistakenly hearing 'come tomorrow at 4am', he wasn't at all fazed. Even though the cashier had actually said 'come tomorrow, call beFORE' so a few muffins could be held to the side for him, he wanted those muffins so bad that 4am was worth it!
