Picture of the Day

Some really great friends of ours in Chewelah have opened the "Straw Bale Bread Co."
It is a bread and soup shop that they run out of their out building. Bill built their house in the straw bale style. Straw style housing is efficient, sound proof and more resistant to earthquake and weather damage. But, the point of this post is the delicious food that they are making. Tuesday through Friday they are open and serve fresh bread, made with healthy ingredients and no oil, dairy, or eggs; and the most delicious pastries I have ever eaten. Blueberry scones filled with cream cheese, berry and chocolate scones, and ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls, and daily soups with unlimited fresh bread. Linda also makes homemade granola that is to die for. Here is the Olive-Rosemary loaf that Grampy bought this morning. It was warm and the parmesan smell mixed with rosemary was absolutely tantalizing and made me slobber like a St. Bernard. Yum!
