My Favorite Bakery!

Back in the 60s, my mother bought our bread from the local bakery.

We'd park out back and walk through the kitchen. The bakers would always hand me a cookie.

The loaves were sliced-to-order. Back then there were no hair nets, and the lady who worked the counter always had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth with a 2" ash threatening to fall on the bread as she ran the slicer. It never did that I recall.

Their sugar cookies were the best.

When I was a little kid, and everything was closed on Sundays, my aunt and I noticed these in a bakery window. I'd never seen them before, and asked her what they were. She said they're what "Catholics eat on Palm Sunday, which is the first day of Passover." Didn't exactly have her facts straight, I guess, but she had a good heart! :)
