We did a day trip today to our favorite beach on the Chesapeake Bay. On the way we stopped at a new bakery near there and got breakfast sandwiches (pretty good!) and some pastries to try.
I have been craving a cinnamon bun for ages. They aren’t popular at local bakeries and making my own is fun but yields way too much for the two of us. It was pretty good—the dough was more like an actual roll than what I’m used to on a cinnamon roll/bun and I think they make them individually rather than in a pan which yields a different side texture. But it had a good flavor and the icing was solid.
The place was pricy and packed but worth it if only to have a place to get breakfast on the way to the beach. We were so full from the sandwich we didn’t even get lunch and then snacked on baked goods at like 4pm. Normally we’d get lunch to go and then hit the beach but this way we got there earlier when it was cooler and less buggy. Not many places are open before 11 am so this really opened us up to beach going earlier and not having to pack a lot of food ourselves.
For dinner we tried a place we used to get take out from a lot years ago but was kind of blah. We noticed a lot of good, recent reviews for it so we figured it was worth a try. It’s right near where I do 90% of my errands so it would be a coup if we liked their food again (more?). It wasn’t bad! I wouldn’t go out of my way like some of the reviews said they did but I’d pick up a lunch special if I was in the neighborhood and hungry.
Watched Meurtres Au Mont-Saint-Michel and got so much reading (and some knitting) done at the beach.
