There are bakeries and there are bakeries

Somewhere there’s an enormous warehouse of surplus Pannetone. Like the tanks of surplus wine.

What is this thing you call surplus wine?

Christmas morning photo.

Sliced prune roll, panettone, and cheese roll. Just a start of our Christmas morning breakfast/brunch.

Since I didn't find dessert thread I guessed I would put this photo here. It did come from a Baker in Hoboken, NJ.

Just don't ask me how to spell it .

We celebrated my wife's birthday and we had a cake from the "Cake Boss" in Hoboken NJ.

It was good cake just a little heavy on the butter cream.

Not sure that's possible.

I am not a big baked goods guy. Love the stuff, but have type 2 diabetes and am always watching my weight. Basically I try to eat like a heart patient. Robin, my better half also avoids carbs like the plague.

I'm just not a dessert fan. Not thing to do with heart or blood. Mine are all normal. I just don't care for sweet bake goods.

Panettone? Yawn. Tiramisu? OK, I'm listening with half an ear. Ice cream? Maybe

But give me a plain croissant any day!

Or a bar of chocolate. Yeehaa!!!

Glass of Sauternes, seven raspberries, a hazelnut tuile, and a tablespoon of whipped cream.

Decaf.

Then the cheese cart.

I'll take the raspberries. A mongo, better yet, a dragon fruit.

I may even consider trade my chocolate bar for them.

My, aren’t you so refined….

I’d eat a Twinkie in a micro-second!

I never said I'd turn down a Twinkie! But the real point was that I liked to extend the meal, and things that are too sweet seem to just put me under the table.

That’s cuz you got no fat layer to absorb all that excess sugar.

I think that might have been my problem too. I don't enjoy any dessert that has refine sugar in it. As long as it's something that is naturally sweet, fine. Even some amount of sugar in baked goods are ok, as long as they don't taste "sweet".

But sweet sugary fillings? Yuck.

Cake? Pie? No thanks.

There might be some truth in that. I distinctly remember a few awful sugar crash memories.

Really put me off sugary bake goods. (strangely enough, ice cream don't seem to do that)

If anyone is a fan of crumb cake, this is the bakery that makes the best in NJ.

Ice cream takes longer to metabolize due to the fat content, which slows down the action of carbohydrates absorbed into the bloodstream.

Some things need to be enjoyed, not analyzed!

What I read is that if I want something sweet, ice cream is better for me than fruit. So I'm good with the analysis. And it needs to be the full-fat kind, not "light".

Definitely, no light ice cream for me, it has to be rich, thick and creamy. I also eat ice cream all year long not just in the warm weather.
