Perfection

     Have you ever tasted perfection? If so, list your perfection in my comments. I know that I have. Our local bakery, Sweet Perfection, lives up to their name. Their cupcakes: delicious. Their pie: amazing. Their bread: superb. I will be covering each of the topics mentioned in loving detail in the paragraphs below. Unless gluten free, you will DROOL.
    First off, cupcakes. They have TONS of variety. Chocolate, lemon, caramel, red velvet, vanilla with sprinkles, lime, green tea, strawberry, orange, and many more. Each cupcake is perfectly crafted, and has an amazingly pretty blob of icing on top. The cupcakes are moist and possibly the best cupcakes on earth.
    Now for the pie. Best pie ever. Strawberry rhubarb, fresh strawberry, key lime, and my personal favorite, peanut butter chocolate creme. On Pi Day, we celebrated by eating lots of pie. LOTS of it. Yummy!!! The Strawberry rhubarb is pleasantly tart, not overwhelmingly sweet. The peanut butter chocolate creme is delightfully smooth and creamy.
     Finally, the bread. Again, so many choices. It is light and fluffy, but substantial when necessary. The Kansas sunflower seed bread is perfect, so nummy. (Nummy is a phrase used in our family that is beyond yummy.) The artichoke bread is delicious, and normally I am not a fan of artichokes at all. But this bread was quite fantastic, and I enjoyed it very much.

Happy Pi day!!!

Happy Pi day to nerds and pie eaters alike! On this amazing day, everyone honors the number pi, and fills up on all kinds of fruit filled pastries! (Our personal favorite is strawberry rhubarb, how about you?) For the slightly undereducated nerd, here is a little history on everyone's favorite eating holiday. A great man named Larry Shaw invented pi day in 1988. It was celebrated in the San Francisco Exploratorium, where he worked as a physicist. It was celebrated by marching around one of the circular spaces and then eating pies. Yummy, right? On pi day in 2004, Daniel Tammet recited the first 22,514 digits of pi. I don't know about you, but that is just way too much thinking for me. Cleverness is not usually people's strong suite, but they sure were clever in that they made today, 3/14 pi day, as the first three digits of pi are 3.14.
So go out there! Eat some pie! Find out the circumference of circles! Have fun!
