On Saturdays, I help Matt at the farmers market, for which I earn a little dough (ha!), and hang out with my honey (less common than I'd like during the gardening-and-baking season).
And every Saturday morning I mean to photograph the baking process (or the brief part of it that I am awake for). The loaves of sourdough this-and-that, the crackling ciabattas and the trays of seasonal fruit scones all look so pretty filling up the bakery racks. But the morning gets busy fast.
First I clean up any messes the dog has made in the night, and then I cook breakfast (not the most savory sequence of events). Next I walk the dog, and give her cuddles, and she and I discuss the fact that while it's really better to puke a river on the floor than on the couch, we're over it and on with our day. And all of a sudden it's time to pack bread, load the truck, and hit the highway. [Note to any of Matt's customers who might be reading this: dog not allowed in bakery.]
So all I have to post today is a somewhat blurry shot of Matt with the little honey oat loaves that would not fit in the back, as we pull out of the alley.

It's so good to check back in with your blog, Zoe! I love the photo of Matt & his buns (and the bread, too). Great new header!!
I would love to know where Matt sells his bread...I can almost smell it through the blog.
Hi Pamela. Matt sells at the Back Mountain Library Farmers Market on Saturdays (9am to sold out), at the Essential Eating Farmers Market in Chinchilla on Thursdays (10am - 2pm), and he drops bread off at the Hillside Farms store on Wednesday afternoon.
