A Trip to Yas Bakery

It’s been almost four years since we have seen our friends. The last time was New Year’s Eve 2019. Right after that my mom passed away in February, my husband had cataract surgery in February/March, and then came the pandemic that ruined everyone’s lives for so many ways. We kept in touch all that time, but we are just now beginning to reconnect physically with people again. And it feels good to be “normal” again. So we are looking forward to visiting with our friends this evening. But before we go we always bring treats from Yas Persian Bakery in Vienna. I was on the lookout for something unique as well as something delicious. So we started out with Sadaf special blend tea with cardamom. And of course, Persian saffron pistachios. For sweets, we picked out a variety of baklava. And then we would put them on a pretty little silver tray with an ornate design. But for a whimsical item, we couldn’t go wrong with the camel thorn water. Don’t ask me what it is or what you use it for. I just liked the bottle, the name, and the label. So, what they might think is a wine bottle it is not! The little tray was filled with baklava and ribbons were tied around it and the other items ended up in a bag with a Christmas tree design. I love going to Yas for treats. And this year it’s even more special.
