Any flan? ... maybe with a thin caramel sauce.

How about Cinnamon buns--like the sticky buns with chopped pecans on top--e.g. those available at the top end of Seattle's Pike Street market?

Of course I wouldn't refuse a parfait with Hazen Daz Vanilla Bean with blueberries, walnuts etc.

Shoot, just some homemade wholewheat with acacia honey and real butter would do nicely.

Then there's Dudley's bakery between San Diego and Julian--that has an excellent date-nut bread round loaf. MMMMMM

I could also easily rationalize a homemade apple dumpling a la mode.

But you can keep the ripe durian fruit to yourself--unless it's frozen solid to minimize the stink.

I do enjoy the rambutans, however. and mangosteen.

The pecan wedding cookie balls are great but I don't like the powdered sugar on them--hazardous to lungs.

And, common lemon bars are nice ... as is a similar red raspberry kind of pastry/bar.

Ahhhhh welll, enough drooling over fantasy foods. LOL.

From the main board - FORMER SENIOR UNITED NATIONS OFFICIAL FACING PEDOPHILIA CHARGES IN NEPAL:



One of the world’s leading experts on humanitarian work with street children and children affected by war has been arrested on pedophilia charges. Canadian humanitarian worker Peter Dalglish, who helped found the charity Street Kids International, was taken in by police in Nepal on Sunday (April 8), Xinhua news agency reported. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police said they wanted to question Dalglish over claims he was involved in pedophile activities in Kavre district, around 50 kilometers north of the capital, Kathmandu. An initial investigation claims the 60-year-old had offered children foreign trips and better education before sexually abusing them. My Republica reported that two children, aged 12 and 14, had allegedly been abused by Dalglish and rescued by authorities.
