I pretty much stay away from sweets. I guess baked desserts are about the healthiest and less sweet. This years I've been giving in. Coming home from the truck show at Carlisle back in August I stopped in to Peter's Orchard and walked out with a cherry crumb cake. Man was that good! Just a thin layer of cherry goo in the middle, not too sweet. Heading to fall Carlisle week before last I stopped in again to see if they still had those. They had one in the cooler! Mmmmm....
We have a local farmstead market I pass by coming home from the job I'm on. I stop in mostly for sweet corn, but they had apple cider donuts. Those were so delicious...perfect. Cake like but moist with cinnamon. So good with coffee. They're closed on Monday, so today I'll be stopping in. I hope they have more!!! |
Hi Tim.i don't have much of a sweet tooth either.whenever there's a birthday cake here for someone,i eat the cake out from under the icing and leave it on the plate,someone else eats it.YUCK.so sweet,it makes my teeth hurt.i do like the homemade donuts at the Masstown Market,cinnamon are my favourite but usually sold out when you get there late(like yesterday)the plain ones are good too,with a coffee so we got a pack.before covid,they used to bring out trays of donuts,still warm and put them in a display.you'd put them in a bag yourself,sometime when they were still warm,you'd pick them up and you could see them sagging.now they are 10 in a plastic shell,more expensive then when you'd put a dozen in a bag??progress i guess?i'll have to find you a picture of what's called a Cape Island Boat and sent it to you.my dad had one,40 feet long.it's been a popular style of boat around here for a 100 years or more.i don't know but i think i remember hearing the big bow area had something to do with how the boat handled in rough water and the men would need lots of room to work.
