This morning, I was treated to “Lutheran Surprise”.
After last night’s church auction, a few flakey pastries were left over. What appeared to be mini-cinnamon buns were calling me. Just sitting there, covered in a sugary glaze. So, I grabbed a couple, some coffee and sat down to savor my discovery.
But after biting into, it had a chewy center. Not necessarily sweet…and it made for an interesting combination of tastes. It turns out it was an accidental combination.
See, last night, someone had brought these puff pastries with beef in the middle. Today, someone mistook them for a sweet treat and decided to enhance them with the glaze.
You could hear warnings from people being offered at other tables. I preferred to watch those who would grab one and watch their face as they put it all together.
Surprise!
