Pastries, Cakes and other sweet goodies




The Argentinians love sweet things, Dulce de leche (Sweet milk), Factura (pastries) and loads of other sweet yummie goodies. Yesterday when I went to collect my laundry from the Lavadero, I noticed a coffee shop and pastry house right opposite. Not sure why I hadn't noticed it before. I normally have a pretty good eyes for such places. Anyhow I ordered myself a cafe con leche (that's my standard coffee) and then I caught a glimpse of the pastry counter...... loads of heavenly factura and they were only $1peso each! I couldn't stop myself I had two. They were so delicious. And if my jeans don't fit its because they shrunk in the laundry!
