I'm screwed

[susandennis]

If I had gone to every other week on my delivery, I would have missed this. I'm going to have to really think about my pastry schedule.





Biggie has a new collar. Much looser. And I found an old tag that has my name and phone number on it. In case he decides to make a break for it.



While I was making it, I had his other collar on top of some stuff on my sewing table and before I knew it, he had it on the hallway chewing on it. When he gets his mind on something...

Meanwhile... One of my bedroom chores was to fix the analog clock on the wall that I use for my treadmilling. It fell to the ground yesterday and the time wasn't set correctly. Turns out, I broke it! It was a clock from the dollar store that I have had for years. Damn. I poked around for a replacement and discovered that the Amazon would deliver me an Echo clock today before 6. Perfect. I had one before but Biggie and his brother broke it (they knocked the hands off and then the clock off the wall). It will be perfect for treamilling! "Alexa, set a timer for 25 minutes". The clock then shows the time AND the timer. Plus, I'll be able to see the clock from bed which I could not do with the $1 clock.

It's currently Out For Delivery.

I think I'm going to have a pastry. The brioche with lime curd.

So what is the problem with the ingredients other than the artichoke and spinach? What the hell is a vegetable doing in all that carb goodness?

[susandennis]

Nothing. Nothing is wrong except they are all so delicious, how can I skip a week? I LOVE the artichoke spinach option! She has a savory option in every box and I really like that.

The one that looks the least interesting to me is the lime brioche. I'm eating it first because that topping won't store well. I'm having way done and it''s heaven.

Sorry I'm not there to help.

Hmm, the brioche with lime curd is the one that seemed most appealing to me.

I love Biggie's collar! So bright and cheerful! :)

Twice Baked Croissant with artichoke dip sounds positively YUMMY!!! Neither my hubby nor I can have (much) sugar, so the savory things are always more of a temptation. ;)

Good call on eating the brioche first. I feel like they're best on day one. Day old brioche may as well be a week old brioche.

[susandennis]

It was a tough call and great to have a professional opinion. The brioche was really delicious.

i assume that was a typo and it was the clock that fell on the ground and not you! I didn't know there was an echo clock, that'll be fun :)

I am simultaneously wildly jealous of your pastry deliveries and thankful that I don't have that level of temptation because I would for sure be signing up for weekly deliveries.

Mmmm. Yum. I am not a fan of chocolate chops in my baked things, but I think the brioche would more than make up for that!

I want ALL of those pastries!!!!

I need a pastry care package. How come I don't get a pastry care package. No Fair!

woo hoo that pastryyyyy

When i lived in Bristol the local bakery did cheese and mustard danish pastries every morning . Savoury heaven.

From the ingredients list for that brioche: "...eggs, salt, eggs..."

Yeah, I heard you the first time. I assume this has to do with the egg whites for the meringue topping.

[susandennis]

what about the 'hite' chocolate chips in the cookie?

i'm grateful that their talent is in baking rather than typing :)

And the articoke! Mmm, articoke....

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

oooo those all sound good to me except I'm not a big fan of oatmeal raisin cookies, but I know so many people who are I just give them to my friends.

I hope that there will be a review, picture and link for the echo clock in the future posts that I have not yet read. :)

[susandennis]

It's exactly the clock I needed for the space and treadmill timing.

[letmesaythis.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like! Thanks for the link.
