The anti-Atkins diet

I know I have a post about challah already, but this is different. This is challah from Great Harvest Bread Company, so it's a whole different phenomenon. I once ate half a loaf of it just on the way home. It smells great in there, and they will give you big, hearty, samples that you can slather with delicious soft butter. I got a loaf of challah (beware - they only make it on Friday) and a loaf of "extreme cinnamon" which was a whole-wheat-y, fabulously soft, filled-with-cinnamon-and-sugar, carbohydrate dream. We demolished these loaves over two days (plus the sugar cookie pictured at bottom, purchased for Cal as a reward for going into yet another store), along with a stick of butter.

Holla for Challah

Bask in beauty of my gorgeous challah. These babies called for eight egg yokes, which I happened to have on hand, left over from a mistake with the initially egg separating during the evening of the chocolate mousse cake. Anyway, this challah was delicioso, I got the recipe from my "Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook". That's right, Martha Stewart. I've got nothing but love for Martha, and if I had unlimited time and money, I'd probably make a stab at some of her crafts too. Sometimes obsessive precision is appealing.
Well, the bread was good, what else can I say?
