The doorbell rang just after 2:00 pm yesterday, and a package was left on my little table on the porch. Mmmmm I knew what it was. I had ordered it earlier this week from the Main Street Bake House where I often meet friends for coffee and a chat, but sadly no longer open except for deliveries. They deliver on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
I decided I deserved a cheerful reward after being in self-isolation. Gotta have something yummy to look forward to, right? Which one should I eat first?
The box contains: 2 lemon blueberry scones, 2 spicy bacon cheddar scones, 1 blueberry muffin, 1 banana chocolate chip muffin, 1 spinach and feta bistro, 1 leek and parmesan bistro. All so delicious!
I went for my daily walk around the pond yesterday morning, but only one male Hooded Merganser duck there, accompanied by a male Mallard. It's pouring with rain this morning so I'll be staying dry. But the rain is very welcome and soon we will see the grass turning green after the cold months of winter.
Oh my now my mouth is watering. What a bunch of lovely baked goods! Glad there's exercise in your life to match!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to walk a long way to work off all those calories!
DeleteOh my that was a tasty delivery Shammi, I'd probably start with the savoury and make my way through to the sweetest 😀
ReplyDeleteP.s. did you check out Anh Do the artist I mentioned in your boat post a few posts back, think you'll like his work.
Now that's the kind of care package I would love to find on my doorstep! I doubt that I will, however.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a matter of planning ahead!
DeleteJust saw your comment on my blog Shammi, so glad you like his work he is pretty amazing isn't he. He has painted quite a few well known people as he chats to them some are really emotional, you might be able to find more of them on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI watched the Walter Makic episode, very emotional, and a wonderful painting at the end of it.
DeleteI agree that rewards ought to feature in our new lives, things to look forward to. Those baked goods are pretty nice, hmm..
ReplyDeleteI often meet up with some friends at the Bake House coffee shop and usually indulge in a treat with my coffee, so I didn't want to miss out!
DeleteWhat a lovely way to treat yourself. I made tea biscuits this morning. They are a great treat too, hot out of the oven.
ReplyDeletemmmm with butter melting into them.
DeleteWhat a wonderful gift to treat yourself.
ReplyDeleteI deserve it!!
DeleteThey all look delicious, just make sure you don't touch the packaging for at least 24 hours as the virus can live on the surface for quite a long time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
The box is sitting discarded on my garage floor right now. It will go into the recycling bin in a couple of days.
DeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteYou had me intrigued though. Bistros here are the establishment rather than the product.
Sadly if such a package arrived here I would eat it much too fast. I need my treats to be smaller than that.
Yes, A bistro should be an establishment, however that's what the Bake House calls them. And they can call them whatever they want as long as they taste good! I ate the cheesy one today.....
DeleteCan you share?
ReplyDeleteWhich one would you like?
Deletewell, doesn't that look great. we just finished up Sue's bday cake yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are not going out!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you Peggy! Yes, staying at home as much as possible.
DeleteVery nice, my wife makes scones like that, her blueberry muffins and raspberry and white chocolate are to die for not to mention the cheese scones with bacon in them yummy. No bakery places around here that would deliver but then no back houses anymore
ReplyDeleteUmmm...yummm...they all look delicious.
ReplyDeleteI think depending on the time of day that the scones would be my first choice with a good, strong cup of coffee. Lunch time would have me eating the Bistro goodies and then I would have to polish them off with the chocolate muffin.
Darn, you are making me hungry.
Stay safe
Stay dry
We will get through this "thing" together.
Sue
Did you save the blueberry muffin for last?
