Treats Truck

When I went to see Margot at the Wedding, I really wanted a home made Rice Krispie treat, but I wasn’t going to pay $4.75 for a not very marshmallowy looking one from the movie theater. I settled for a $3 fig bar. It sported a tasteless pie like crust and surprisingly tasty fig filling. Still, it didn’t fulfill my craving.
The next day as I was walking to the main library, I saw the Treats Truck. Have you seen Treats Truck Lady and her truck named Sugar? I’ve only seen her in at night in the Lower East Side, so I was excited to see her during the day at 5th ave and 38th St. on Tuesday. She’s really nice and gives out loads of samples. As I was perusing my choices, some guy came up in front of me and started babbling about something while eating all the samples of butterscotch and chocolate brownies. When he left (after dropping the napkins on the ground) she said to me. “I had no idea what that guy was saying; something about lunch?”
I replied, “Maybe he thought you were a hot dog vendor.”
She said, “I’ve actually had that happen!”
We laughed and I got the cran almond crispy for 2.75. It seems healthier than the classic crispy treat $2 with all its almonds and dried cranberries. The website says there were flax seeds and wheat cereal in that marshmallowy treat, too. I didn’t even notice the health because it tasted so good. No picture because I ate it despite it being cold outside. But I did get a picture of this baking related Christmas window at Lord and Taylor. That creepy doll is squeezing a pastry bag and the man is giving out samples!
