Today was slow food night.
We went to Common Roots cafe, and it was awesome.

I mean, it was sandwiches and salad & bagels, but the food was really good. Atmosphere was even better. It got so busy, and they donated all profits to the farmers. This is the only place in town taken on this much giving!
Jon: Caprese Sandwich, Triple Chocolate cookie
Ruth: Chicken Soup & Melon salad, Lemon bar
Joe: Roast beef w. , Lemon bar
ReAnn: Eggplant & veggie melange, vanilla cupcake
Petit Fours 3 ways.
Etica Organic wine flight.
Peace coffee all around.
next time: bagels and lox w.soup. ..beet salad!
Earlier today we had our first Zestar apple (despite driving all the way to the U of M apple house, we bought it at Byerly's. Much more sensical). The arboretum maze was cool except I was allergic to everything. Boo.
Oh yeah, last week we tried a Baker's Wife. Honorable selection of treats. Wayy too many to pick from, but easy to deselect due to too much shortening. :/
We had a ginger filled molasses cookie.. topped w. a glaze. Usually I'm all over the glaze, but it was way crispy. Cookie was really good despite the ring of grease it left on the napkin. I still prefer Byerlys.
