I
am sure, despite where you live or what religion you practice, most people have
seen or heard this Bible quote; "Man shall not live by bread
alone." (Matthew 4:4) In recent
times it has become rather clear that as we try to sequester ourselves at home
that the things that we actually run out of the quickest are fresh vegetables
and bread of one form or another. As these stocks are gobbled up we find
ourselves needing to make a quick trek out for basic staples to the grocery
store and bakery. I recently remarked in an email exchange with a former
student that potteries and bakeries are my two favorite places to go, both
remind me of home and usually are extremely comforting so the bakery is a must stop.
On our trip
out we finished at our local bakery, The White Rose Bakery (Little Falls) and
picked up a baguette, a loaf of rye bread, several hard rolls and two cinnamon
fritters. the fritters were fresh, warm, just out of the oven with the frosting
yet to fully harden as you see in the photo. Once home they were placed in this
medium sized and faceted bowl to wait out their short life span, a nice desert
to the garlic shrimp pasta which was accompanied by a third of the baguette
doubling as garlic bread. It may be true that you can't live on bread alone but
it is a commodity in most households that many are dependent on and we are thankful for all
those continuing there essential jobs of providing comfort in the way of tasty
carbs.
