1. When you could smell the sweet scent of happiness from a mile away:
A las 6 por el pan de dulce, Panadería La Blanca en Cuernavaca Morelos, Yo si vengo por el Pan... ¡Y ni así salgo!
The panadería IS home.
2. When choosing each one was pleasantly overwhelming:
You know you're Mexican when you get excited for Pan Dulce 😍😂 @ayyyitsariana
It's stressful, but a good kind of stress.
3. And so you couldn't buy just one bag:
Fresh Daily, Pan Dulce #fresh #pandulce
It might as well have been one beg per family member.
4. When you tried to prove you were responsible enough to carry the tray and use the tongs:
I like long walks to the #Panaderia. You know it's authentic when they have the trays and tongs.
This is the most important job of them all.
5. When you or someone in your family would only eat the top of the concha and abandon the rest:
Así se come mi papa el pan dulce "para no engordar" jajaja si, era una concha.
No love for the bottom half.
6. When doughnuts took a back seat to these sweet delicacies:
#pandulce #mexicans #yummy
Donuts never knew what hit them.
7. When you made the mistake of not eating it on a plate:
Problems of Pan Dulce 😑
And you never learned your lesson, no matter how messy it ever got.
8. When your mom offered you some immediately after mentioning your weight gain:
Yo saliendo de una panadería colombiana right now
"¡Te estás poniendo gordo!
".....Escojé un pan."
9. When you had the privilege of eating something sweet for breakfast AND dinner:
Eating pan dulce with my baby sister!
It feels great to be this blessed.
10. When everyone in your family seemed to have this clear case full of pan in the middle of their dining room table:
#ParejasPerfectas: Café y Pan Dulce
It just never looked quite right when it was empty.
11. When you paired it perfectly with a warm cup of Abuelita Hot Chocolate...
Mmm pan dulce con chocolate de abuelita para esté frío
12. ...while your parents, tías, and tíos paired it with some coffee and spilled all the hot chisme.
A beautiful pan dulce from El Bolillo and café con leche for breakfast #elbolillobakery #p… http://t.co/p6IidfmOAN
Chisme and pan is the building block to closer families.
13. When it made you happy to know that sometimes the pan dulce would come to YOU:
el camión de #pan #dulce/#bread truck
This is the only time you'd buy bread from the trunk of a car.
14. When you specifically picked out a pan for yourself and later found out your sibling already ate it:
De #felizmiercoles no tiene nada cuando se comen tu pan dulce.
Trust NO ONE.
15. When you never questioned why el marranito was shaped like a pig...
#GrowingUpMexican Cochinito de Pan Dulce (Sweet Roll Piglet) A poco no?
....that's if it even looked like a pig when you bought it.
I really enjoy #puerquitos in the morning but this one looks a lot like a #manatee. @savethemanatee #pandulce #cookie
Not a marranito, not yet a whale.
16. When you couldn't recall the time you had your first bite of pan dulce...
Franco eating his mini pan dulce Nana gave him 😍
17. ...and when you realized that you’ve been hooked ever since. 😍
when your mom says she's bringing pan dulce
Pan dulce for life! ❤️
