My roommate Paige just came back from the bakery, which is where you go when you are hungry on a Sunday afternoon because there is nothing else open except for Panesa down the street or the Mall on the outskirts of town. And so I asked her to pick me up some Knees of Jesus, which are little buns with melted crumbly-ish cheese on top of the buns, so they look all burnt and bubbly and wrecked on the tops. Like the rodillas de Jesús? Yes. Yum! Paige complied because she's a sweety and the result was that I just had me a pair of Jesus Knees for a snack. But do you even know what else she came back with??!! Can you even imagine? Muffin Tops! Like in Seinfeld!! Here's a video for all you Seinfeld fanatics out there...Cathy, Dad, Karen...they really sell just the tops, the best part, of the muffins. Only in Ecuador. Because really, who likes the stumps?
for more information please reference the Seinfeld episode entitled "The Muffin Tops" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHtWEH0euh4 ...or visit me in Cuenca, Ecuador--home of the vanilla flavored muffin top!
