Sweet union
This new building down the street is a pastry school, part of the STPCPHYA.
To unravel that string of letters: It's the cake bakers, candy makers, pizza makers, ice cream makers and alfajor makers union.
What's an alfajor? There are variations on the theme, but it's essentially a dulce de leche cookie sandwich. Because I do not have one at hand, this linked photo that I did not take will have to suffice.
I am supposed to get a batch of homemade alfajores with my vegetable delivery tomorrow. They are not strictly speaking vegetables, true, but they do provide 100% of your recommended daily serving of dulce de leche.

Alfajor Union? Does this mean that when I buy a $1 alfajor cookie .50cents on that dollar is going toward legacy health costs for retired alfajor workers?
If that is the case, I might start buying Japanese alfajor's.
uum, alfajores. i hadn't thought about those treats in ages! definitely an argentine delicacy not to be missed.
plop a candle in one of those suckers in celebration of your pending 30th birthday!! feliz cumpleanos, dan :)
