@Shel_B, congrats on the good results. Doesn't sound like fun, though.

Thanks for your congrats.  Actually, the exam was a bit of fun as I got to see and experience the new, high-tech devices and techniques used for such exams.  And everyone I encountered - doctors, receptionist, and billing folks - were friendly, pleasant, professional, and punctual.  The waiting or reception area was light, airy, and comfortable, and had a great view of the city and the hills. And plenty of free parking right by  the entrance door. 👍

there is a discussion of P4's .   I had to get some .  2 - 3 , w a 4th just in case .

 

TJ's had these :

 

 

these are clearly not authentic P4's.  and we at eG love authentic .

 

authentic would have to have pastel frosting , and some sort of jam in the middle layer.

 

well , these are going to have to do , and are no doubt better.

I'd go for those! Please give us an interior shot when you cut into them! (Unless it's already too late? 😉)

Well OK 

 

 

here are the three varieties in the above pack.

 

TJ's over many years  

 

has chocolate ganache style deliciousness for some time.  

 

form varies seasonally/ . , but delicious always 

 

 

I was very pleasantly surprised :  I expected the mostly cho9colate etc

 

first :  these P4's have the right amount of icing .  key    a lot.

 

the R was chocolate , and perfect 

 

middle was Maple , and was this Sooooooo good .  lots pf maple and frosting 

 

the L  was Lemon.  did not have as high hopes for this vs chocolat

 

but was surprised again :  lemony , and plenty of frosting.
