Affairs Peppermint cookie

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, it was a relief to finally step into the doors of Affairs Café and Bakery in University Place.  This place swallows you in warm Christmas spirit.  Knowing that the treats you are about to savor are made there on location, the café feeling, the hometown feeling, the hospitality, it all just makes me want to explode with holiday happiness.

OK, just take a look at this cookie and tell me you don’t feel peppermint-y all over.  It has everything you could ask for.  Chocolate, icing, peppermint candies on top and best yet: RED filling.  Beat THAT Nabisco!  Wait, they did do that, didn’t they?  Crap.

Let me just say it’s a treat you have to try.  Slow down, take a break from shopping, and head over to Affairs for a little lunch, a little sweetness, and some hometown warmth for the holidays.

Dang I’m feeling sensitive today, aren’t I?  Someone hand me a beer! Pronto! â€" Steph DeRosa
