Bake the Book: 'Momofuku Milk Bar'
Buttery breads, pastries involving more toffee, caramel and fruits than chocolate, and lots of teas. The kind of bakery that isn't crazy hot inside, has sidewalk seating outside, and big communal tables. And pie!!
Alternately, an Asian bakery with all the weird little goodies I crave like Taiwanese street food buns, breads, and steamed yummies!
Perceived Food Passion vs. Actual Food Passion
I don't agree that a person who is passionate about food, but rarely cooks is to be lambasted. I love everything about food, but I eat in restaurants more than I cook. I know if something is delicious, and I love to read about food, but I leave the actual creation up to the experts. I don't see any problem with this. I also love beautifully crafted clothes and shoes, but I don't think I need to sew my own clothes or learn how to cobble to appreciate them. I love music, but not the sound of my own singing. I admire people who are passionate about cooking, but my minimal cooking experience shouldn't exclude me from being passionate about food itself or shame me for expressing an interest in food.
A Look at Olympic Provisions, Oregon's First USDA-Approved Salumeria

I'm actually sorry to have read this post because now I'm hankering for the Alsace and Rioja...
Kringle is so addictively delicious! My friend orders them from Racine Danish Kringles (www.kringle.com) for my Christmas present every year. They disappear by that evening. I can't help myself. Every time I walk by it on the counter, I cut off another little chunk. It's gone in an hour.
