Sweet tooth
The 'confiterias' in Trelew are everywhere, but this one's our favorite. On this trip, we had to buy a broad selection ("it's a cultural experience" says Abby). Many of the cakes are from a Welsh tradition here - lots of cream and nuts and jellies - and others are filled with dulce de leche, which is the carmel spread that's the Argentinian equivalent of peanut butter (in everything, everywhere). But the best baker in town has to be Abby...she surprised us with heart cookies at the end of the day on the 14th when we had all forgotten it was Valentine's Day! The many episodes of "Cake Boss" and "Cupcake Wars" she's been watching here are paying off big dividends for the rest of us.

Hi Clydes! I'm one of your stealth fans who loves your blog but hasn't yet left a comment. I think Abby's heart cookies look super yum and I'm jealous you had a quiet Valentine's so far away from the redheartcandy bedlam in the states ... hope you're all well!
