Thoughts on Thanksgiving

Dear Doug and everyone else at Evergrain,
         This was a rare weekday morning for me.  It's Thanksgiving day so... no walk to the bakery, no Matilda, no Doug, no Kelly, no Michael, no Allie, no Anna, no Abbey...no regulars to wish a good day, say good morning to or compare notes with- about the latest happenings in town...to say nothing about no aromas of freshly baked bread or pastries as I round the corner onto Queen Street on my way to the bakery.  No baguettes, no brioche bread, no plain croissants and jam...no blueberry muffins, sun buns, miches, or cappuccinos, no Tim O'Brian's coffees, no sandwiches that make me think for a moment (if I close my eyes) that I'm in a patisserie in Paris, no soups or salads by Michael.
           Still on this day, I have a long list of the many things that I am thankful for and on that list is the Evergrain Bakery...a place that nourishes and refreshes so many things, not just my appetite or love for French breads and pastries, but also nourishes my spirit, my outlook on life and in some very tangible ways, the community were I live.

Thank you all, and Happy Thanksgiving

P.S.
Thanks also for the cranberry, gran manier sauce that I sampled yesterday and brought home for the turkey this afternoon...

Also, Check out the new release - Rattle Them Chains  by Pam Ortiz and her band (I'm a member) on sale at the Bakery - we're sort of the "house" band...makes a great stocking stuffer...
