As an aside

Just wanted to add that while we were up at Laura's studio, we stopped at a fantastic French Bakery, Boneparte Breads.  It was too much fun - from the alligator shaped loaf

They had sandwiches and quiche as well. I had a tuna sandwich which came on nice homemade bread, but  Lynne ordered an interesting brie and walnut baguette which she was kind enough to share with me. Crusty and decadent with plenty of just ripe brie, a thick layer of whipped real butter and scads of walnut halves - it was amazing.  We agreed that it would be worth another trip up there just for the bakery.  Next time I think we'll share a sandwich and save plenty of calories and cholesterol for a couple of amazing desserts!
