You are a lucky man to have that in the neighborhood! And I have been quilty as charged on almost doing in my dough doing the same thing. Kitchen is cold, and you think I'll just turn it on a second.....and then! Glad you pulled it off. Thanks for sharing the bakery shots! They are top notch! Both in food and photography!

Thanks!! saves lots of calories!! We are just far enough away that we are saved from temptation!

We do though have a very wonderful Mexican bakery, Miranda's, here in Woodburn. If you get there early enough you can pick up some wonderful Jalapeno Cheese bread. Pillowy soft, filled with spicy jalapenos and I think, Cotija(sp?). Wonderful pastries and cakes, I wish I knew the names of them.  Not too sweet, really, really good!

So, tell us, how was your Wild Rice and Onion bread? I love that one.

With boulangeries like that, who needs Montreal?  Right Floyd?

Near disaster or not. They look beautiful. The  bakery shots remind me of Toronto. Our visit was a while back, and can't begin to remember its name. But the order of the presentation of baked goods is a match. I remember feeling like a kid in a candy store. You know the feeling. I just looked at them again and was transported. Ray

I'm looking at the web site of the bakery/restaurant. That's a remarkable assortment. I'm always surprised at the variety of pastries these places put out every day. Marks Back Home Bakery is the same way. It seems like such a huge work load to produce every day. The sandwiches look great too.

Floyd,

Did you use dried onions or fresh in this? I like the flavor of the re hydration water in my rye breads but PR specifically says not to rehydrate them. What's your take on this? I have read elsewhere that the onions are strong as is so I'm wondering.
