TreyBCakes Gourmet Bakery and Eatery

Today was a beautiful sunny day meant for walking outside. Not baking inside :-).
Perfect day to visit my favorite new bakery: www.treybcakes.com !

TreyB has gelato. Yummy gelato that transports me back to Italy when I worked for Maestro Pavarotti and would spend a few weeks there while he rested between tours.

I tried the hazelnut gelato. I love anything hazelnut. When you live in Europe, especially Germany, hazelnut is a staple. And this hazelnut gelato was scrumptious. As I like to say, "to die for", not entirely unrelated on this Judgement Day.

If you are up for a very delicate and tasty dessert, go to TreyB's (1801 L Street) and try their gelato. The hazelnut gelato is a winner!

Cheers!

Watkins Barbecue Sauce

Yuuum! It's between a steak sauce and a spicy tomato sauce. I've discovered that Watkins Barbecue Sauce can be used with virtually any dish. I sprinkled a bit on potato skins - yum! I poured it over mashed potatoes - double yum! and, of course on chicken, hot dogs and other meats. It's easy to find ways to use this yummy sauce and I highly recommend it.
At $5.99 for 14.5 ounces, it is a real bargain. Let me know if you would like to order it. This sauce is as versatile as any tomato sauce.

First Watkins Party!

I had my first Watkins party on Thursday which was well-attended despite the gnarly weather. We had very yummy food such as the Watkins bread (made with Sapporo) and delicious dip seasonings such as Cucumber & Dill (a crowd favourite!) and the Citrus & Cilantro All-Natural Grapeseed Oil.
I had never tried grapeseed oil and this was a very yummy experience!

If you are interested in any Watkins product, let me know! I will be featuring them here from now on!

Cheers!
