Heart <3 Stomach

You didn’t think I was sick of bread, did you!?

IMG_0210Blog

Just a wee bit tired of sandwiches. Bread always has a place in my heart and stomach! This afternoon while working I got hungry for a snack and tried out a new tiny jar of chutney we ordered for our retail shelves. I mixed it with Naturally Nutty almond butter and granola. Delish!

IMG_0212Blog

Matt left work for a bit to get a haircut and apparently came back with frozen yogurt!! SOOO glad his sideburns are short again! Hot stuff.

IMG_0213Blog

Peanut butter + cake batter + Resees – of course he fed me a few bites!

IMG_0215Blog

We worked till after 7 and got the bakery lookin’ GREAT!! I organized our filing cabinet and we cleaned and straightened and I’m very excited about the state of things! I’m HOPING to take 2 days off before opening week begins. Matt has some handiwork to do there tomorrow but we’re both hoping to go on a hike on Sunday and do something non-work related.

IMG_0216Blog

Back at the homestead, we whipped up a quick dinner. We used a soup sample that a vendor brought us in the doors this week – a 3 bean chili. We mixed that with collard greens (so it was more sauce than soup!) and topped it with bacon, cheese and sour cream! (Sour cream was also a sample)

IMG_0219Blog

Under all that good stuff there were beautiful green vegetables : )

IMG_0222Blog

Matt poured me a tiny beer to go with dinner. Because it really does bring out the flavor of food.

IMG_0229BlogIMG_0227BlogIMG_0224Blog

Then we watched The Office. Great episode!

Then Karen came over for a beer (which she rarely drinks!) because she finished her last chemo treatment today!!!!!!!! If you’re new to the blog, Karen is Matt’s mom and she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer just before Christmas. She’s done 5 months of chemo + radiation plus surgery and we’re all hoping she’s cured for good. She’s been such a trooper through it all.

GO Karen!!

IMG_0233Blog

Karen also brought over some brownies – going to have a taste!!

Nite!

    Am so happy things are coming along so well with the bakery. You both really deserve some down time before the grand opening. I wished I lived closer so I could come buy some delish bread and have a yummy sandwich. I wouldn’t even complain about the no onions thing! 😉

    And as happy as I am for you both and wish you much success, as a long time blog reader I am DELIGHTED to see Matt’s mom Karen doing so well. She looks great! Karen, I wish you nothing but good health and happy days!!!!

    And major congrats to Karen for being DONE with her chemo!!! What a long road she’s been on, but more power to her for being done and finishing strong! She will be in my continued prayers, of course, for a full remission and recovery!

    Hooray for Karen! My dad recently finished going through more than 40 radiation treatments for prostate cancer (he also had surgery), and fortunately that knocked the cancer back and he didn’t have to do chemo. I was stunned how much the radiation took out of him…I knew chemo could do that, but I previously had no idea the effects radiation could have.

    The bakery looks great…all your hard work is definitely paying off!

    I love your tiny beer glasses…I have some from a local brewery that I like to use so that I feel like I’m having a “full glass” even though it’s more like a hearty taste!

    Hi Kath,

    I am fairly new to your blog but have been following it for long enough to read about your bakery. Good luck with the grand opening! I found what you wrote about Great Harvest to be so interesting that I looked up to see if there was one in my area and luckily, there is! So today I went for the first time and died and went to bread heaven–I tried like 4 different types and loved them all. I wish you all the best with your bakery.

    Yay for Karen!!! I bet she’s glad to be done.

    What exactly is chutney? They have that brand at EarthFare. Is it jam? Is it a sauce? I’ve had it before. Just curious if you had a better description.

      It’s like a sweet jam with savory bits in it – like peppers and spices. This one had onion, so I wasn’t totally fond of it (although they’re normally cooked/simmered so not raw)

    Hurrah for Karen! I posted before when she first received her diagnosis to let her know, that as a breast cancer survivor (one year on June 7!), there is life after surgery and treatment. I am so happy for her–I remember vividly the joy I felt the day of my last chemo, so I’m celebrating with all of you!

    Go Karen! I remember when my mom had 2 bouts of skin cancer. It was caught really early, but it was very scary. Glad to know she is going strong!

    WOO-HOO!!! I’m so glad to hear that Karen has completed her treatment!! Y’all have been in my prayers since I first read of her diagnosis. I’ll keep that up and am thrilled that she’s through this rough period!! And just in time for the bakery opening, no less! It seems like everything is falling right into place for y’all. 🙂

    May nothing but good things and good news continue to come your way.

    I have “enjoyed” seeing Karen’s updates here, and am so glad she’s done. High-5s all around! It has been inspiring and heartwarming to see how close you all are, even through some of the toughest times (anyone that thinks opening a business is easy should go do it! *so* stressful and life-absorbing). Thank you for sharing so much of your lives with us.

    Karen is so brave to share her treatment with all of us “out here” Brava! And what perfect timing that she finishes treatment the week before you’re set to open… You all get to turn the page and start new chapters together!! Hugs!

    Any woman who celebrates an accomplishment with a cold glass of beer and friends/family is my type of lady! And that little beer glass is soo cute and perfect for just a teeny little sumpin’ sumpin’ (ale – yes, i did just insert my favorite beer, because it rocks).

    Karen, as stated in all of the comments, everyone is very happy for you to be finished your treatments and on your way through remission and remaining cancer free. Thank you for sharing your journey; I believe your doing that has helped and inspired others and their families going through similar experiences. With one of the features in this blog post being Matt getting his hairs cut, it made me think…maybe you can share with us when you eventually get your first hairs cut as your beautiful hair returns. You look beautiful. LOL
