Freshly Baked

We forced ourselves outdoors yesterday, even though it rained and rained- just like last Saturday! We couldn't quite think of any place we'd like to go on foot, but decided that we hadn't been to Iggy's in Cambridge, in a long while. We are always in search of freshly baked, high quality, delicious bread. Though we do have a specialty grocer around the corner, a true bakery is something our neighborhood could really use! Our other favorite bakery is Clear Flour. We adore the challah bread there, which is only baked on certain days, so a bit difficult to come by! Our quest for the perfect bakery started quite a few years ago with the desire to find the perfect French croissant. That, we're still searching for…

I read a blog post about the French and their willingness to drive the extra mile to the next town for a better boulangerie. This sentiment is quite apt to how we feel about good bread. We managed to use everything we brought home from the bakery this weekend. We had some croissant bites with eggs for breakfast today, in addition to french bread pizza for lunch. We supplemented our split-pea soup dinner this evening with garlic bread.

We felt badly that Harry would be cooped up all weekend again, due to the rain, so he joined us on the little drive to Cambridge. He stayed in his bag the entire trip- his feet didn't even get dirty!
