Sitting at a crowded cafe, feeling a little out of sorts, sleepless night, 6am flight, cloudy afternoon, lots to reflect on since we left here back in November...
The next few posts are some reflections of posts past and other thoughts:
Isles Buns!
We love this place and sadly only got to make it over twice over our 3 month stay in the Twin Cities. If you ever have late night fantasies of hot cinnamon buns, sticky buns, endless tubs of cream cheese frosting and hot coffee after partaking in a brisk 2.8 mile walk around the glorious and magical Lake of the Isles, this will be beyond your wildest...
We were shown the way to Isles buns back in January when I vocalized my deep desire to spend an afternoon baking up sticky buns (tempted by hours of reading back issues of Saveur and Gourmet mags at the Washburn Public Library). Our bun guide, Marilyn, told me not to waste precious time on that project because the sticky buns here would be the most delicious ever. Their signature $1 creation is the Puppy Dog Tail. Sounds like a PETA nightmare but is in fact a delicious little twisty cinnamon dough, frosted of course, just enough to not make your tummy turn in sugary pain.
Though truth be told, the real fun in Isles really begins and ends with the big tub of fresh, whipped creamy-cheesy frosting that sits right by the coffee station... yes, you heard correctly, endless frosting.
