A whole new world of amazing delights I never knew existed has just opened up to me. Some people have sweet tooths, but not me. I am a Sweet Tooth and I found perhaps what can only be deemed my Mecca: The Baker’s Catalogue.
Recently I wrote about how I’m definitely not opposed to having food delivered by mail. That’s how I stumbled across this amazing find.
Wayne and I got to talking about a favorite cookie from our youth: cherry chip. King Soopers, a grocery store back in Denver, our hometown, used to offer kids a choice and Wayne said he always picked the cherry chip same as me. (For all I know King Soopers still does this. We have Kroger’s here, which is a division of King Soopers, but I haven’t ever seen cherry chip cookies there.)
Anyway, so I went online to look for a cherry chip cookie recipe. Found one, so the next step was finding the main ingredient, cherry chips.
That’s where I ran into a problem. No stores here had them. So, like when we first moved to Nashville and I couldn’t find Wayne’s favorite jerk seasoning, Busha Browne’s, in any of the stores, I hopped online to find it.
Success! I actually found two places that carried cherry chips, but I decided to order from King Arthur Flour’s site. (The other site might have been less expensive, but I couldn’t tell for sure because I wasn’t sure from the description on their site just how many chips I was buying.)
Anyway, so my order comes a few days ago and along with it come this catalog accompanied by a chorus of angels and a ray of sunlight. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…
Flour’s perhaps their claim to fame, and now as I think on it I probably have seen King Arthur flour before, but I had no idea it was a whole baking enterprise! They have everything!
Such as any kind of baking ingredient from extracts to sugars and syrups to fillings and toppings. And mixes? Muffin, cookie, cakes… basically a Sweet Tooth’s delight. But they also have food mixes like soups and pizzas. Of course they also have a great selection of baking tools and appliances to bake up all these yummies.
Holy guacamole, I am one happy woman perusing this catalog, let me tell you. But it gets even better.
Come to find out they have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Vermont, some place I’ve always wanted to visit anyway. You can bet when I do King Arthur Flour will be a priority on my itinerary!
