Boy oh boy – I thought yesterday’s list was long!! Matt does a FABULOUS job running this bakery, but there are many things that really need the KERF motivation to get done. When I arrive after cycle on Wednesday mornings, it’s go go go to fit it all into this one slammed day. But the good news is that most of the tasks are short and sweet – there are just a lot of them!!
Such as:
- Hire floor cleaner
- Update website
- Check on tea
- Check on Nat. Nutty
- Constant Contact
- Signs
- Sept. menu
- Employee paperwork
- Bills
……… you get the idea!
And our air conditioning is …not working! It’s steamy in here!
MY OTHER RECIPES
Have you seen a fudgier brownie?
Or a more delicious tofu sandwich! I left off the pesto today and added cheddar instead
Loved the swap!
Wrinkles = peaches are ready to eat
I think this was the best one of the summer!
Bite of our new Rainbow Cookie for dessert (M&Ms!)
Trying to keep my cool. It’s really hard when it’s 85* in here and this laptop is HOT!
wishing your store was next to my office and I could get lunch everyday!!! mmmm, everything looks so good!
I am not a tofu person, but that tofu looks YUMMY! What kind of tofu is that?
I was wondering the same?
All the tofu products available to me have soy proteins in them and a few other ingredients. I think it’s the Nori brand…can’t remember.
Twin Oaks Tofu – a local tofu co-op
Thanks. I never heard of that kind…guess cause I’m not local 😉
You live in Canada right? I have found a Sol Cuisine and Liberte brand of Tofu. There are a few others around. Just try them out until you find one tasty enough.
My local Whole Foods-type of store carries Twin Oaks. I have a block of it in my freezer but haven’t try the flavored types yet. Does it need heating?
Yes, I would bake or saute it
I can’t imagine what it feels like in there. My Great Harvest *always* feels like an oven, even with the AC. I don’t know how the employees handle it. It’s all I can do to get in and get out! 😉

Its the perfect peach season here in Ontario also! I swear it takes all the will power I have not to eat them at every meal 🙂
umm I would like a rainbow cookie!!
Such good eats! I don’t know how you don’t stuff your face all day at the bakery! 🙂
Me either!!! I would totally dive headfirst into the bread all day every day! And those cookies and brownies look amazing!
Unfortunately, me and wheat don’t get along, so it wouldn’t be too hard!
As delicious as those tofu sarnies look, my eyes are on that cookie- YUM!
Yipes! Broken a/c would lead to one cranky me.
Lunch looks good, can I have a bite?? 😉
I love cheddar cheese. I know goat is a better one for me, but I have no willpower (unfortunately). A couple of questions for you: I am addicted lately (I’m a mindless eater) to wild rice and brown rice cakes (well, I’m addicted to alot of things really, like chocolate and cookies, but I won’t open that door into myself). I know their not the best choices, and I buy “good” whole grains too, but I’m sick of tying “should” to food. I just like the crunch and can put anything on them: cheese/cottage cheese, yogurt!, jam, nut butter, avocado, butter, jam, hummus, anything really. I buy the “salted” kind. Salted isn’t so bad to buy is it? Its not loaded with it (not a bucket of salted fried chicken afterall).
I’m not Kath – but I don’t know why you would be worried about rice cakes and rice!
Thanks. I think carbs and sea salt get such a bad rap and enter the food guilt. Maybe a lesson for me to stop reading a lot of blogs and magazines. Gives me food guilt and food “crazies”.
Oh. I know you. Please email me directly versus conversing someone’s blog!
Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with these?
the tofu sandwich and peach look amazingly delicious – yum! Have you ever used artichoke dip as a sandwich spread? A thin shmear with loads of veggies is surprisingly awesome.
Long to-do lists freak me right out!! It’s a good thing that you’re so organized! 🙂
Yummy, fudge-y brownies!!!
http://faithfulsolutions.blogspot.com/
GAH! That peach looks PERFECTLY ripe.
Hope the air conditioner gets fixed soon! Luckily the days have been cooler lately so hopefully it won’t be too miserable.
Also? DYING over those cookies! I saw the picture on GH Cville’s Facebook today and have not been able to get it out of my mind since!
i am actually the crazy person who likes a hard, underripe peach (and plum and pear)
Ohmygosh! That brownie looks SOOOO divine!! Wish your bakery was nearby, I’d be there everyday!
You had me at “hot melty cheese.” Now I want a sandwich! It’s good that my Great Harvest is across the SF bay.
That is my dream sandwich.
Hang in there Kath!! You can do it, and all your hard work will pay off. Think of autumn breezes 🙂
Stay cool! I loved the title of this post! Melty cheese always wins my heart! Nice swap on the pesto for cheddar, it looks divine!!!
The moment I saw “Hot Melty Cheese” as a blog title in my google reader I knew I would LOVE this post. Anything about cheese fills my heart! 🙂
You must be sweltering in there Kath!!!! Do you have fans in your office???
Perfectly fudgy brownie. PERFECT peach. Seriously 😀
Your organization is super inspiring Kath! haha you guys are ROCK STARS.
Do you find posting your to-do lists on KERF helps too?
No fans!!!
Brilliant tofu sandwich! 🙂
Mmm that sandwich looks delicious!!! Love cheese and tofu!
That pan of brownies + a fork = a perfectly lovely afternoon.
Love the title of this post…had me right away! And everything (as usual) looks SO tasty!
Your list just made me a little anxious! Hoping you get it all done!
Ah, don’t you love when your laptop works as its own little heater? lol
I just had a delicious peach too 🙂
I want that sandwich, like right now. and M&Ms are a favorite of mine!!! sooo good!
Bummer about the AC! 🙁 At least VA is finally cooling down.
That fudgy brownie looks yummmy!!!!
I kind of wish you had drawn eyes on the peach — it would have looked so cute with the big bite mark!
Seriously – my laptop heats up a room like crazy. I swear it’s gonna bite the dust soon. Love the rainbow coookie – I’m an M&M addict. 🙂
Hot melty cheese is my favorite! Sorry your AC is broken. My family rarely turns it on, but it’s been necessary the past few days.
Have you seen a fudgier brownie? = rarely. I love my brownies super fudgy!
And I love rainbow cookies!
And wrinkly peaches just means they are SUPER sweet and ripe and READY to eat, asap. Love em like that!
Rainbow M&M/Smarties cookies were my favourite when I was little!! Sounds like a delicious lunch. As usual, all the bread looks divine!
I thought the Tofu was ALL cheese for a second there! That would be heaven for me, I can never get enough cheese 🙂
Ha! That peach looks so funny – the bitten out part looks like a wide-open mouth on a face – love it!
That pan of brownies and that cookie look AMAZING. I think not having A/C would be work eating bites of those 🙂
Those brownies look amazing! Love an extra fudgie brownie!
Those brownies look divine! Wish they were already Relay-deliverable 😉
aaahh the brownies look amazing!
so sorry you have so much to do, you are working like a champ!
The peaches are definetly amazing this summer! So good 🙂
I LOVE peaches. I have had several amazing ones this Summer and I am a fan!
I think tofu on sandwiches are a great idea 🙂
Your sandwich looks INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
I love your blog! I get updates sent straight to my email and read it everyday! I have never commented before! Just wanted to say Hi! And that your Tofu sandwich looks amazing I wish I could have a bite of it through the computer! I hope you can get your AC fixed! Baking bread with no AC is no fun! I am looking forward to trying so many of your oatmeal recipes, this fall! I wanted to ask where do you purchase your chia seeds? are some brands better than others? Thank you Kath!
Hi!
Chia seeds are pretty much chia seeds- some brands only sell the lighter ones, but there is no benefit to that- they just sift out the darker ones.
Nope never seen a fudgier brownie to answer that question. And that sandwich looks superb too. Good thing not overloading it with too many flavors or else they don’t pop through! Hate when you love flavors in sandwiches.
You bake the tofu first right? How long does it store after you bake it?
It is baked and I think we store for 3-4 days
Hey there, that sandwich looks delish! It doesn’t look like you grilled the tofu or anything – is it just plain, and cold?
It is baked but it’s cold on the sandwich
I was inspired by the pic and ended up making pretty much the same thing for dinner tonight and it was great!
I’ve been working my way through pretzel m & m’s as of late, I need to try your new dessert! Oh yum 😀
I love that peaches are in season right now. That one looks particularly delicious! And those brownies? That’s exactly how I love them!
You must be melting in there. I’d have to eat those brownies so they wouldn’t go bad. 🙂
I love peaches like that. I had one the other day that was so full of juice, I actually had to eat it over a bowl.
Stay cool and I hope you get your air back soon.
I would love some of those fudgie brownies in my belly. like now.
Oh no! Hope it cools off! SOON!!! …..That brownie is calling my name, I can hear it in the distance!
You are one busy bee… but you live such a healthy life so you’re able to handle it well it seems. You make your fitness and health a priority and that’s seen in your daily schedule. It’s a really motivator for me!! You’re a great example.
wow, talk about productivity!! I’d have to be superwoman to even accomplish half that in a day!
That is A LOT to do. Holy moly. Your lunches always make me hungry (even if I’ve just eaten). Why is that? 🙂
With all that busy-ness sounds like you need a chocolate break!
Is that trick with the peaches true? If so, you just changed my life forever ; )
So is the bakery one big proofing box?
I cannot wait to one day visit your bakery and order that tofu sandwich with pesto. It looks amazing, and I am extremely jealous of all those who are close enough to visit your bakery on a regular basis!
Good luck with getting everything done today– you can do it! 🙂 At least its not statistics or plant bio work. The joys of nutrition undergrad work!
Oh my goodness, I totally would be dying if I worked in a bakery with no air conditioning!! Ahh that’s just toasty!
…pun intended 🙂
That brownie just looks ridiculous. Ridiculous. I would probably kill someone to have that in my mouth right now. Just sayin’ 🙂
Sounds like another busy day! Hopefully it was busy but not stressful!*
I totally made a sandwich yesterday with tofu and pate. Now I’m imagining tofu + pate + cheese. Omnivore’s delight 😉
Haha – indeed!
you had me at “hot melty cheese!”
Holy brownie, Batman. Now I really want a brownie. :-/
Wow! Those brownies look amazing!!! It probably wasn’t a good idea to look at your blog while sitting here hungry. My mouth is watering!!
RAINBOW cookie?!? Ugh, our GH needs those… I am a SUCKER for M&M cookies. Well, really M&M anything 🙂
What type of tofu or what cooking method do you use on your tofu sandwiches? I love the look and they seem tasty, but I am afraid to try it because of texture…
Twin Oaks tofu, baked
