Living so close to Mexico, we get the Mexican version of Coke, Pepsi, etc in the grocery stores. Pure sugar goodness, no HFCS. :cheers:

It's more just becoming such an issue, especially with higher income shoppers, that retailers are seeing a separate market for it. I buy Mexican Coke from my local Costco in Maryland.

You really should tweak that, being a lawyer and all. You're talking about the store, not the parking lot, right?

But by the time it gets up there, it's likely to have been cut several times. The Coke near the border is of much higher quality...

:applaud: Well played good sir.

Well, I cant drink Coke like I mentioned before, but man that pisses me off. They use pure cane sugar (mexican coke) at the Coke Store in Disneyland because it tastes so much better. I hate how something we make/invented here tastes better from other countries because what we make for our own people is crap because its cheaper. Thats terrible. :blowup:

No corn syrup in these pastries. ;)

Keep an eye on this thread because I may need two more testers, er, testimonials. Vigo volunteered for the next round and he doesn't even know he's a potential tester unless he's reading this. You would fill out the group. No paying for shipping, but I thank everyone for their offers.
Dervacumen:
I guess I'm playing the waiting game now. The first group has pastry in the mail. I did say you were all guinea pigs, right? :)
I intended to include a one page note but I forgot to include it so here it is:
[name] ,
Thank you for participating in the first road test of Hollister's Own fine Danish Pastry. The original recipe was a classic almond paste ring, perfected over 30 years and served to countless friends during the holidays. The addition of homemade fruit fillings is a relatively new process.
Please try a piece before heating so you can compare the results to a reheated pastry. If you feel like snapping a photo so I can see what damage if any occurred during shipping that would be welcome.
To reheat:
Preheat oven to 350F. Put ring directly on a cookie sheet and heat for about 8 - 12 minutes.
Enjoy!
This pastry has a shelf life of about a week and you can keep it on the counter at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Keep loosely covered with aluminum foil or wax paper. For best results don't put it in a plastic bag, as the pastry will get soggy . You can also freeze portions for up to two months by securely wrapping it in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. To reheat frozen pastry, remove from freezer and let stand at room temperature until defrosted, about 3 hours. Proceed with reheating instructions above.
Thanks!
Here are some pictures. I don't know how or if it's even possible to attach photos to PM's. Anyway, these are good for all to see.
The group is shown in pic 20, and all of these are before I added icing and sliced almonds. I forgot to take pictures of the final product.
Nephasth / HaRuMaN both chose the same - Cherry / Almond. See pics 1, 3, 21.
shmokes chose Almond, Apricot, Cheese. See pics 17, 12.
Mikezilla chose Almond, Apricot. See pics 14, 16.
I hope these translate well. Honest feedback is welcome.
Le Chuck:
The last time I stared at a set of pics that long there was a less than fully clothed girl in them. Those look amazing, can't wait for my turn... at the end... after almost everyone else... so sad...
Nephasth:
:drool
Mikezilla:
Oh my god those look exquisite. I can not WAIT to give you some feed back! :cheers:
Dervacumen, youre in California right?! Am I going to be the first one to get to try one of these glorious pastries?!?! :drool
