The long awaited new entry for this week...
Last week in conversation between an America, Dominican, Argentinian, and a Brazilian the topic of Alfajores arose. What are Alfajores you may ask? Well, a cookie with dolce de leite sticking two tasty cookies together. The treats looks really interesting. Comparable to some Hostess products, but certainly much more appetizing. The Alfajore originates from Argentina and is enjoyed throughout South America.
With some great luck I happened upon a student exhibiting the cookie and was able to have a taste of it! It was great! However, not the most delicious brand. I am told Havanna Alfajores are the most delectable brand of Alfajores. On the same day, I was also fortunate enough to try the Brazilian Açai berry in a breakfast like combination with strawberries, bananas, nuts, and some honey to top it all off. It was a really great treat to have! Açai is usually very expensive in the U.S. and I have not previously tried it, its flavor is mellow if not entirely neutral, and lacking the acidity that most berries carry.
With any luck I will get one more blog in this week. My apologies as my work schedule has changed, and allows for a little less blog time.
