A delicious indulgence

One of the benefits of moving to the city has been the abundance of shops selling items that may not be seen so often in the small country town that we came from. For instance, in the mall where we buy our groceries is a small bakery which sells the delicious pastries that you see in the photo above. These are a real treat to us and I have to admit we’ve indulged ourselves a time or two with these. Of course, there are other goodies there too but we haven’t found anything to match these yet.

Ooh, that looks good. I might move to your town for sweet treats like that!

There are pros and cons of city life and country life. Glad you’re adjusting to the big city after living out in the country for so long.

@JudyEv — there’s always trade-offs and compromises. That seems to be a good compromise to me!

We just have to make the best of it now we've made the move. The pastries help ease the pain - a little bit of melodrama there! lol

When we moved a few years ago we were quick to find a delicious little Italian bakery and deli. I get our deli meat and cheese sliced there, but don't linger in fear of coming home with some of their sweets. Yours looks delicious-I think that city living is agreeing with your palate.

That treat looks like it has vanilla cream in the middle? Like custard? Are there tea shops there like I visited in Canada?

Vanilla cream sounds about right. It didn't seem to be just whipped cream. And yes, there are tea shops and coffee shops.

@JudyEv Victoria, Canada was fantasy land for me. Wow on those tea shops and their pretty china. In one shop, a lady wheeled over a cart that had eye popping treats to choose from.

A much wider variety of restaurants and eating places/takeaways is good too. Not that we eat out a lot but if we'd had a busy day and want to pick up something to take home, there is a much greater choice.

@JudyEv It is 6:30 in the morning, in half an hour I go out grocery shopping. I will buy the croissants, I have already prepared the custard when I got up this morning, I will have the same when back home.

Yes, he has Type 2 diabetes and is on medication. He rarely eats sweet things but he does have one of these occasionally.

@JudyEv That's what I do. I keep the sugar under control and once in a while treat myself with one of these treats. But yes, the key is to have it in moderation.
