When the new bakery Inn the Oven opened just across the street from my Weight Watchers meeting place, I knew I’d be calling on some mad self-discipline skills.
I called — but no one answered — so Brian and I headed over after dinner last week. He had “the best ice cream ever” and I enjoyed a generous slice of homemade chocolate cake with thick-cooked chocolate icing like my grandmother used to make. Remember the tiny bit of sugar-crunch you taste when biting into homemade icing? Oh yes, it’s all there.
While I can’t enjoy a generous slice of chocolate cake (or any of their other delectable desserts) on a regular basis, I can head over any time for lunch, where they serve home-made chicken salad and Build-Your-Own-Sandwiches.
I love supporting locally-owned businesses—especially those that remind me of my grandmother’s cooking.

With the way I'm feeling emotionally right now, I could use a big piece of that delectable chocolate cake right about now! Love you!
I wish you lived closer, Jamie. Feel the hugs coming your way.
Thanks for your sweet words! I'm fine one minute and then not so great the next. It's an emotional roller coaster right now. Too bad you can't mail a piece of that cake!
If it would keep, I would ship it. 🙁
I'm sure you would, my friend! Thank you for your encouragement. Love you!
Ohh no, a bakery across from the WW meeting?? That'd be hard to resist!
Thanks for telling us about Inn the Oven. I'll have to try it out!
Sounds good. I appreciate locally owned businesses too. The people are so personable.
Thanks for stopping by Susan, Vonda, and Ellen!
