From Wikipedia:
A pastry is a major type of bakers’ confectionery. It includes many of the various kinds of baked products made from ingredients such as flour, sugar, milk, butter, shortening, baking powder, and eggs.
A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person’s beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone’s own beliefs.
I love pastries!
A lot!
Somehow I came across another new type of pastry that has gone viral. More about it in a few…
Seeing that newly created pastry made me think about how wonderful it would be to go on a pastry pilgrimage.
I could travel far and wide to discover and taste delectable pastries.
Some travel in search of microbrew beers. Others go on search of award winning wines. Perhaps a journey for the best barbecued ribs.
That all sounds nice, but for my palette, it would be pastries. And eating not just good but really wonderful pastries can almost feel like a mystical experience to me…
I already have two places already in mind to begin my pastry pilgrimage.
This new bakery recently invented the cruffin, a cross between a croissant and a muffin.
Yep, that looks like food porn to me. 🙂
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse is in San Francisco.
People wait in line over 90 minutes to purchase their limit of two cruffins.
After my pilgrimage journey to The City by the Bay, I’d fly north to The Emerald City for some wonderful cheesecake.
The Confectional has some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. It is located in Pike Place Market in Seattle.
These cheesecakes are unique because each one is an individual serving. I guess you could split one and share, but I don’t. 🙂
My favorite is New York Style pictured above.
They have lots of other flavors, but I’m rather a purist about my cheesecake. I like it plain and dense and rich.
If I were on death row and was offered one last meal, I would order one of each of the cheesecake flavors available at The Confectional.
They ship orders, so I know it’d be no problem to get the delicious delectables.
The only one I wouldn’t order would be sugar-free, because why bother counting calories at that point…
I’m right there with you! Love pastries! But, I am not a SF fan. If only they shipped!
Maybe shipped in a warming oven to keep them just the right temperature… 🙂
I am now drooling. Food porn indeed.
Did you visit their Web site, Joanne? Everything looked almost too good to be real. 😉
I had a Facebook friend that used to post FoodPorn photos quite a bit. Everything looked so amazing that I was sure that I gained five pounds just by looking at the photos.
Giggles. I had never heard the term Food Porn before. 🙂
