ISLAND LIFE - PART 3

on gabriola island, there is a farmers market

held on saturday mornings.

my friend is obsessed with this bread stick that is stuffed with feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

so naturally, our first stop at the farmers market was 

the slow rise bakery stand.

there we bought 5 sticks of this feta/sun-dried tomato bread, 

and just for kicks we got a pumpkin/white-choco/raison scone.

after taking a stroll around the market, we quickly booked it to this beach and dug into this scrumptious bread.

my friend is right, this bread is definitely one of a kind.

(the scone was delicious too)

after heading back home, we decided that we will attempt to make this feta/sun-dried tomato bread by the end of this summer!

hopefully it won't be some catastrophic disaster.

stay tuned...

JAPAN PART 7 - SWEET BREAD

one thing i absolutely love about japan 

is the smell of their bakeries.

the heavenly scent of butter and sweetness can waft throughout an entire department store and captivate one's senses. 

the bread in japan is quite different from western style bread;

it's sweeter and more delicious?

i'm positive that their bread contains mountains of calories,

but the softness and yumminess of the bread makes it totally worth it.  

who wouldn't want to get cute bread that looks like turtles and pandas?

more to come...
