My new best friend

Just up the street from my sister's house is a ghetto shopping center that plays host to a giant beauty supply store called "Beauty 4 U." One of my fellow white girls once ventured inside said store and was told she was too white, they didn't have anything for her there. I usually try to avoid this shopping center and, lets face it, most of the other stores in Oxon Hill. My sister once pointed out that there was a small bakery next to Beauty 4 U and suggested we try it sometime. I imagined it having a few stale donuts and M&M cookies under some glass guarded by a 400 lb former lineman named Gerard. Needless to say it wasn't a top priority to try it. But my mind was quickly changed when my friend Sam, a recent graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, gave a high recommendation to "Desserts By Gerard." Turns out Gerard is not a 400 lb lineman but a culinary French genius whose delectable creations make me weak in the knees. The best thing are his mini tarts. Its so hard to chose one so why not go with 1/2 a dozen? These bite-sized treats are small enough that you can eat several and not feel guilty. This way you get to make an educated decision on what tart to purchase on your next visit. Desserts By Gerard is like an oasis in the dessert, not only is the food amazing but the ambiance of this bakery is fantastic too. Walking through those doors makes you feel like you've stepped right out of Oxon Hill and into a little taste of heaven.
