"termini bros" news and stories

• The new underground food court beneath the Comcast Center offers the best from a host of local vendors, including Di Bruno Bros., Termini Brothers (oh canoli!) and a dumpling stand from Susanna Foo.
• Caroline Berson goes camping, determined to avoid hot dogs and beans from the can. She makes bruschetta, nachos and muffins baked in orange peel cups over an open fire, with mixed (but entertaining) results.
• In today's Market Basket, you'll find push-button roasted garlic, knife sharpeners and wood chips to make your grilling extra smokey.
  
• Explore the wonders of a mortar and pestle. It may be more work than a food processor, but it makes garlic sweeter and herbs more pungent.
• Philip Mancuso still makes ricotta in South Philadelphia the old-world way, with lots of fresh milk that leaves the cheese creamy and smooth.

I have a confession. That half of a cupcake you see right there, well, I actually was the one to eat it. Last Saturday morning, Scott and I went to Reading Terminal Market for brunch and grocery shopping. We bought a bunch of food and, as we were leaving, made a stop at Termini Brothers, one of the best and oldest bakeries in town. They've had a stall in the market for years and are known city-wide for their canoli, cakes, cookies and other baked goods.

We waited until we got home to bust into the cupcake and he got to it first and slicing it in half so that I'd get a fair portion. The color of the sprinkles was appealing and light in the apartment so good at the moment that he snapped a picture of the half eaten cake. Oh cupcakes, what you do to us!
