The headline is a quote from the commercial. You have to hear it in a heavy Arnold Schwarznegger-like accent.
I’ll preface this by saying I love bread. Bread has gotten a bad reputation these days, I think largely due to the Atkins Diet, which I will not go within 10 feet of (South Beach for me!). And a lot of bread is just boring, fairly tasteless, not very nutritious calories. But good bread is yummy and good for you. Sourdough and whole grain bread is specifically good for dieters. Other breads, eaten in moderation, taste good and will enhance your quality of life. Remember, we all have to eat, we may as well enjoy it.
Therefore it was with joy and pride that Steven and I drove out Rt. 28 in Herkimer to the Heidelberg Bakery to treat ourselves to some of the best bread you can buy. You can purchase Heidelberg Bread in the super market, but I think it’s fun to drive to the source every once in a while. For one thing, they also have yummy baked goods so you can treat yourself to a cookie or turnover for the ride home.
We were delighted to note that the Cafe is open again, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Too bad we had just eaten breakfast or we would have grabbed a seat and had a feast. But that’s material for a future blog post. Yesterday we got a loaf of Sourdough, one of Multigrain, and two chocolate chip truffle cookies. The cookies didn’t look like such a much, with little bitty chocolate chips, but they were filled with truffle. A great treat for a Thursday morning.
