Lots of Italian-Americans there. Italian bakeries and even some supermarkets carried them this time of year. I wonder if the Columbia Wegmans will next year?

She would hand out loaves of sweet bread with an easter egg in the center to everyone as we left Easter Sunday.

One of my regular workday lunches is a soup and 1/2 sandwich. The sandwich: always Brie, it comes with sun-dried tomato pesto and caramelized onions. The soup: my faves are Lentil (just spicy enough) or the white bean and kale. I am lucky they are so close to my work!Katherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-70720710745083481782012-03-26T10:42:58.644-04:002012-03-26T10:42:58.644-04:00The sandwiches and bread get lots of notice at Bon...The sandwiches and bread get lots of notice at Bon Fresco, and rightly so. But try their soups too. They are excellent. Especially the Spicy Peanut they serve on Tuesdays. Great deal too, a medium soup (which is quite large) and fresh ciabatta for less that $5.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382602953507588963noreply@blogger.com
