I haven't had these in more than a decade. They were somewhat of a staple in our home when I was a kid. I didn't know they were still in business. They're not as tasty or texturally satisfying as I recall, and they weren't that great when I was 13 years old, either. But there they were, on an end display in the market this morning, and I just had to try 'em. I'm good for another decade ...

 

 

When I was a kid, the Entenmann's man came to our church (still does, just retired). There were always plenty of goodies to give out at the end of his route. The donuts weren't very nice, pretty plasticky, but my dad and me *loved* the danish twists and crumb coffee cakes. 

 

A quick glance at the website shows they are now owned by Bimbo, wonder how long that has been the case. But I also haven't seen one in ages, so distribution must be pretty small.

a long time ago , Entenmann's made some fine products .

 

esp .  the coffee cake .  then I guess they were purchased 

 

and the quality became much more average .

A simple but delicious lunch today, Cherokee Purple tomato and stracciatella.

 A slice  of this morning’s bake, plum frangipane tart.

Focaccia sandwich from a local place (https://crumbsandwichjoint.com/haddonfield/menu/) called Fabolousa (crispy breaded eggplant, creamed kale gratinee, shaved parm + some extra cheese at my request). Very tasty.

Pumpkin ravioli thanks to TJ and it will be a repeat buy.  Three minute cook time is a plus for a quick lunch.  Accompanying the ravioli was a sauté of mushrooms, scallions, garlic and a crumbled sausage, peperoncini and assorted seasonings were added and then cooked a few more minutes with some light turkey broth and some diced mini San Marzano tomatoes.

Dessert was a mini Raspberry, pistachio pastry cream tart.

Straight out of the tin, with a plastic fork. The fish was in small chunks, rather than fillets (the little veg cubes were underneath), but the flavor was really good.

Not quite the dogs dinner but a far cry from my salad lunches at home.  Happen to be traveling and am relatively remote. So, grocery store chef salad with hotel cottage cheese from breakfast added for more protein.  Will have some yogurt, string cheese, and pickles before the end of the work day.

Chile Poblano cream tacos, with white onion, jalapenos, and garlic, finished with half-and-half and Thai basil.

Mrs. C made amazingly tender pork loin for dinner. I didn't want to toughen up the leftovers so I sauteed green beans with garlic and chipotle in adobo, added roasted/peeled chile Poblano, and then tossed in the pork and cilantro at the end just to warm it up.

Noshing on a small bowl of chickpeas cooked in homemade chicken stock and lightly sprinkled with freshly ground Pasilla de Oaxaca pepper.
