ELVES AT SOUTHDOWN: It would appear there
have been elves baking day and night at Southdown Marketplace
(205 Wall Street, 631-351-9660). Suddenly and out of nowhere,
there appeared on the shelves, Southdown Marketplace’s
own store-baked cakes and cookies. The lemon drop cookies
look just like your grandmothers (did your grandma bake?),
fresh chocolate crackups, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip
cookies . . . just to name a few. Fresh baked cornbread has
the grown ups excited while the beautifully decorated fresh
candied and caramel apples have the kids squealing with joy!
We have not spotted the elf, but we are pretty certain that
there is one! Check it out yourself and let us know!
