Sunday Switchup Dessert Review: La Bella Italian Desserts

Posted on September 6, 2020 by Adam Lang

I’ve had dessert from them twice now. Good thing, too, because this second time was rather less impressive than the first time around, because this time around they were still frozen in the middle. And since it’s so hot in … Continue reading →

Posted on August 9, 2020 by Adam Lang

Instead of a dessert review today, I thought I’d show off my latest work of art: I made an iced tea brewer, for loose-leaf tea and a gallon and a quarter of water at a time. It is slim and … Continue reading →

Posted on July 26, 2020 by Adam Lang

I’ve dropped by Chouchou a couple of times during the time I’ve been here, although I don’t get down to that area (Twin Peaks) very often. It’s a lovely little place, with yummy food. Don’t think I’ve had dessert there … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup Dessert Review: Philmore Creamery

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Adam Lang

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Adam Lang

I made my own dessert for this Sunday switchup. It still counts, because it’s made out of a San-Francisco-made ice cream and some cookies that were made in Petaluma. (Which is, in case you don’t know, about 30 miles north … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup: English as Apple Pie

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Adam Lang

I did another order from The Brazen Head, and thought I’d try out another dessert after a bit of a disappointment last time. I figured I’d try their ‘fruit pie’ (it didn’t say what kind). Sorry that the presentation isn’t all … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup: San Francisco Sweets Review, Brioche Bakery Brioche French Toast

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Adam Lang

Okay, some people would say that this was brunch and not dessert. And I say, ‘this is DESSERT for BRUNCH’. Nyah. Unfortunately, it frankly just wasn’t all that good dessert for brunch. Some of Brioche Bakery’s stuff is quite good, … Continue reading →
