Martha Madness

I finally have something to write about! The other day I decided to treat myself and went to the Sono Baking Company. I had just heard about it. I don't know the whole story, but apparently it's run by Martha's people that are on the Everyday Food show. The place is in an old warehouse and the actual baking area has glass windows so you can watch all the bakers doing their thing. I arrived too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, but it didn't really matter. I had a ham and cheese croissant fresh out of the oven, and it was really yummy. The croissant was perfect-- very flaky, not too sweet. Then I took a key lime tart and brownie to my friend's house and we split them. Both were damn good. It's a small place, maybe ten or twelve tables, and the menu is small, too. There are about six sandwiches and five or six salads, but the main draw is the bread-- semolina, cranberry pecan, potato rosemary, sunflower flaxseed, etc.
I have high hopes that after the baby I will someday return to baking. I miss it so much but I still have a hard time being around raw ingredients. So in the meantime, I'll just sample other people's goodies!
