Mallorca

If there is one weakness I have when I visit Puerto Rico it’s the bakeries. I go on a all out carb gorge when I visit, picking up bread in the morning for breakfast and pastries to have with my after dinner cup of cafe con leche.

Mallorca bread is a sweet, fluffy and buttery egg bread. Decorative Live Dough.

>Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns

Last Easter, I was absolutely obsessed, OBSESSED, with hot cross buns. Not the traditional kind, however, with all the dried fruit and candied peel and all those gross things. The chocolate chip kind of hot cross buns. It started thanks to the local bakery chain in the mall where I work. Around last Easter, I was working at a mens retail store, and spent most of my time there amazingly BORED. Why is it that boredom always leads to over-consumption of unnecessary food? Anyway, so we would talk about chocolate chip hot cross buns, and the girl I worked with sent me to another bakery, where they sold DOUBLE chocolate chip hot cross buns. It got to the point where I actually could not go a day without craving, and maybe even eating, a chocolate chip hot cross bun. Honey cornbread muffins stuffed w/ bacon jam.

Well… obviously you yell at your little sister who remembered to call your grandmother on her 80th birthday, and didn’t remind you to call your grandmother on her 80th birthday. Some nerve.
