Also this week, I started ordering bread through the Thoughtful Foods co-op. If you know me at all, you'll know that I have a weakness for all things baked, most especially good bread. I'm not talking about those sad loaves of bread you pick up at the grocery store, I'm talking straight-out-of-the-oven artisan bread with a crusty outside and light, chewy inside. Unfortunately, in Sydney, bread - like everything else - is through-the-roof expensive. A regular, substandard loaf of grocery store bread is about $5! And the good stuff is double that. So you can imagine how pathetically excited I was to discover that my new organic food co-op does bulk orders of bread from Shepherd's Bakehouse. As a co-op member, the prices are reasonable and the breads are phenomenal. For my first order, I picked up a baguette and a blueberry-apple loaf. Gus and I inhaled the blueberry-apple loaf the first night I brought it home, and we're still working away at this amazing baguette. Although Gus bears little physical resemblance to me, I can tell he's got my genes by his love of good bread.
