Hans and Harry, Bonita

Before heading home, we went to the Belle Bonnie Brae strip mall in Bonita (Corner of Central and Bonita Road) to go to Hans and Franz Harry's Bakery.  We are going to PLUMP YOU UP!!! (say in an Ah-nold accent)

This place is known for their long fruit and custard topped struedels.

We didn't get a struedel today - we'd never be able to finish it between the three of us. We each chose one dessert. These two belong to me and TC:

TC liked the Sunnyside Up pastry which was a square of custard topped puff pastry with half an apricot. I think it looks kind of gross because the thought of it being an egg yolk (even when I know it's not) disgusts me. But it tasted good tho'!

I really liked this slice of cake - look at all of those layers! The chocolate on the top and sides was also really good! I ate that first, heh.

I also bought a small container of these Chocolate Chip tea cakes. They're so cute - heart shaped. Don't you just love the scowling craggy visage of the amazing actor, Danny Trejo? That was coincidental since I was reading the San Diego Reader's review of "Machete". I loved Danny Trejo in Robert Rodriguez's movies ("Desperado", "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", "Spy Kids III", etc). He was also pretty funny as the ice cream truck driver in that long long Jake Gyllenhaal gem, "Bubble Boy" (I think Jake's left that off his resume now that he's made it big...huh)!!!

Once of my students once brought me these tea cakes. There are 8 in a container (forgot how much it was, between $3 - 4). I thought it was fkg funny when I realized that Danny Trejo was in the corner of the photo. Trejo, along with Puerto Rican Luiz Guzman, are a couple of my fave character actors...this guy especially. Don't FK with him.

Mmmm chips...

Bert got the Black Forest cake - just a slice. I got a whole Black Forest cake for Divalicious' bday party a few weeks before. Hans and Harry's has become my go-to place for desserts ever since Eduard's (in Otay Ranch) closed.

What a long ass day...

Upcoming posts -

I'm going to try to cram in as much as I can before Bert leaves for Texas on a business trip. He's taking the laptop with him (gasp) and I feel like I'm going to like that fish flopping around frantically in the "Epic" video by Faith No More.
