Let's be honest:

sourdough cinnamon brown sugar bread
(Thanks, T.)
bakery air.

It's basically oxygen, but better, buttery better. 

I fondly recall many places I've visited all over the world but truth be told many of the best spots were bakeries. Montreal. Kensington, PEI. Galway

Dear friends, here's to more bakery air in our lives. 

You know you knead it.

  2. If they could bottle that scent and sell it, they'd be billionaires.

    1. Yes, but hopefully not a-hole billionaires.

    1. Thanks, but I'm a sporadic blogger; I do journal daily though.

  5. I had a friend when I was in 5th grade whose family immigrated from Czechoslovakia, and their house always had the most wonderful, slightly sour yeast smell from the homemade bread her mom made. I’ve never smelled it since, but it was very distinct and delicious.

  6. I love that way of thinking about travel. I'm not an enthusiastic traveller - because all this time I've been focusing on the wrong things!!!

    1. You're making me think too...I do believe most of my favourite travel experiences are little-thing celebrations.

  7. You should have put a warning at the top of the post to come back later if you're hungry!

    1. Good point. Invoking bakery air without payoff baked goods seems quite cruel.
