The first day of summer. Last day of work. Celebrating with a pastry.

Yeah yeah today was the last day of work before summer break It went by. I'm happy to start summer vacation. Yes I celebrated by drinking lots of beer. But what I really want to talk about is my celebration pastry. This year because of the location job I have become familiar with one of seattle's culinary treasures--the salvadorian bakery. It is in funky awesome neighborhood in west Seattle called white center. I had been eating their pupusas and pineapple empanadas for special lunches throughout the school year. One day I was charming he lady behind the counter as I am prone to do, and asked her her favorite dessert pastry. She introduced me to the Maria Luisa de Leche pastry. Essentially it is a rectangle pastry that looks like a very blonde brownie. The consistency of the dough is a mix of brownie and shortbread. The taste of the cake is like a moist shortbread. But that's not all! It is filled with this delicious Creamy custard and dusted with cinnamon then chilled. It is best served cold! I'm not really a dessert peson, but this is one of the best sweet trees I've ever eaten! And I am so glad I bought one today!
