The bakery whisperers

So, Amylynn & Ava, how is your diet coming along?

Now why would you ask that question? Why? You’re just going to get yelled at.

Well if you must know, it was going fine, thank you very much. Well not fine exactly. Let’s just say it’s going and not delve too far into the actual mechanics. We’ve been eating a lot of diet food and we’ve been bitter about it.

It doesn’t help that we’re putting a puzzle together at work that’s all desserts: cupcakes, candy, brownies, etc.

Agreed that it’s probably not one of the smartest moves we’ve ever made.

Bank of No Forks has been especially awful this week.

We were bound to break eventually. Do you have any idea how loudly a bakery can yell? Really freaking loud. The bigger problem is that Amy and Ava are very easy names and even the sweetest inanimate object can pronounce them.

Turtles have no business in a bakery

Sugar Sweet Bakery is a new place right by our office. It’s super cute and their menu descriptions are adorable.

For example: Toffee Turtle cookie: A chewy brown sugar cookie with pockets of salted toffee. (does not contain turtle.)

Hahaha.

The car steered itself over there. We had no control.

We walked around the bakery and waited until something spoke to us. That’s how you approach a new bakery. Chat up the dessert case. Make friends. One of them will speak to you.

The Chunk-e-Monkey spoke my language. Inspired by Ben & Jerry. We took this flavor out of the freezer and put it into the oven. A swinging combination of bananas, walnut chunks and gooey chips.

Don’t think for a minute that Ava was above all this. The Peanut sidled right up next to her and whispered in her ear. Brace yourself for peanut bliss. This flourless cookie is perfect for die hard peanut butter enthusiasts.

Our only complaint was that the lady (owner?) had no personality. We adored the store and we’ll be back. There’s a lemon cookie on the menu that promises a semi-orgasmic state. The really disturbing thing that we learned from all this is that we have the perfect personalities to own a bakery.

We’re never, ever, ever going to be thin again.
