Ovens offer invaluable baking assistance while giving fashion-savvy chefs a reason to accessorize “Kiss the Cook” aprons with “High-Five the Cook” mitts. Feast on oven-spawned handiwork with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of fresh-baked goods at Delightful Pastries, with locations in Jefferson Park, Old Town, and the Chicago French Market. This Groupon is not valid for chocolates and is valid for carryout only; prices vary by location.
Delightful Pastries pairs local and sustainably grown ingredients with tasty imported sweets in its European-style, house-made pastries, cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. The mother-daughter dynamic duo behind Delightful Pastries uses a minimal amount of sugar in many of the bakery’s oven-kissed creations, allowing the naturally sweet ingredients in a malted chocolate chunk cookie ($3) or breakfast bar ($3) to fulfill their lifelong dream of hogging the spotlight. Real, all-natural butter seeps into every bite of butter cookies, croissants snuggled under a coat of almonds, and raspberry-stuffed rugelah, inspiring jealousy from back-alley margarine peddlers. Cherries freshly arrived from Michigan make their first pit stop in the Black Forest cake, and specialty diets' complaints are assuaged with a collection of handmade vegan sourdough breads ($5) and gluten-free sweets such as macaroons.

The Groupon Guide to: Surfing the Internet
Containing everything from the great works of literature to spoilers for the upcoming presidential election, the Internet can be a valuable resource—if you know how to use it. Use these tips to ensure a productive trip to cyberspace and back:
- Type the word surf into your computer's keyboard at anytime to access your Internet's web browser.
- If your computer is less than 10 years old, your browser must be voice navigated. Shout such things as "photo of a helicopter" or "birth parents?" and let the Internet do the rest.
- The Internet has more than 60 websites. Remember your favorites by "bookmarking" them (writing their names down on a bookmark you keep nailed to your computer).
- Surf safely. Not only is this practical advice, it's also the name of the web's official mascot, Surf Safely, the surfing coyote who reminds children not to burn down the Internet.
- Unplug and unwind. Using the Internet for more than four minutes a day will cause hair to grow uncontrollably from your mouth.
