Today’s post is short and sweet! I want to show off these amazing pastries I brought home after a Minnesota Public Radio News “Appetites” assignment at Sun Street Breads in south Minneapolis. The story was about restaurant couples (it aired the day before Valentine’s Day), including award-winning baker Solveig Tofte and her husband Martin Ouimet. Solveig starts baking before daybreak, and as she ends her shift Martin arrives to take care of the front of house. Together they serve up delicious breakfasts and lunches, in addition to a beautiful array of homemade breads, pastries and cookies. As a treat to yourself, I recommend a visit to Sun Street one morning for a latté and perhaps a vanilla kolache – or whatever pastry catches your eye – to nibble and sip from one of the cafe’s sunny window seats while watching the world pass by.

A ha!!! I spy with my little eye some familiar pretty little “Pip” plates. Love these shots, my mouth is watering!!!! I also have to mention that I haven’t taken down the cards that I received from the passing of Griffon as I picked the one up you gave me, I realized that you took that awesome picture of the dog!!!! Thank you again for the card and your thoughtfulness but it means even more to me because you took that pic. Take care!
Thank you, Tracey! I’m so glad the card brought you some comfort. The dog on it is my sister’s, and the photo was made during a vacation to the lakes and woods of northern Minnesota. I do love my Pip plates – because they’re so pretty and because they remind me of our wonderful time in the Dordogne.
