COBS Bread — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

This lovely place with the hardest working people you will ever meet is having a hard go of it simply because it is close to Costco. I'll tell you a secret and let me put it in the form of a story. That way it's a heck of a lot more fun! It's about a queen and her king or it could be the other way around. Doesn't matter and color, race, human or not simply does not enter into this. Anyways, this ruling tower couldn't understand why paying for hard work from the local economy was better than paying for goods bought on the world wide web. Why do that when you can just access the Internet or access Costco and all it's distributors. One day, connections were lost and the world of this ruling tower actually went green. The air was green from smoke, people were ill, the water tasted disgusting and, to boot, wherever people went, their connections stayed with the very first place they stopped at when they entered into that electrical field which actually worked. That is if they had to scoot back out.

Wow, what a day that was! So the tower decided never to have such a problem again and in order to achieve this they tried to gain more safety but they actually created less safety. Little did the tower know that sometimes, the higher you try to go, the lower you are actually going. The solution was actually quite simple. The people turned off all electronics completely. They rested, smelled the air inside their place of residence (wherever that was), baked or bought some bread with locally-produced goods and, tried making something different with their own, very own creativity and hands. They also remembered one of my favorite passages close to my heart. "It's not whether you win or lose, "It's whether you try your best". And so, quite surprisingly, and with incredible wonder and awe, the people realized they could control their lives, work at what they loved doing and, stopped worrying about the constant buzz and chatter. They truly realized that what matters is one step in front of the other, one day at a time, pull up those socks and you'll get there because they knew they could. The future is where you need to go, walk forwards not backwards unless the wind is so strong that you temporarily need to walk against the wind, and in the end, you know you will have given it everything you've got to give.

So their little economy started to thrive again because people understood some very basic lessons and they worked hand-in-hand to come to a greater understanding. Thank God I'm not pushing...

May God forbid me ever meeting you again. No more shall I gaze at your soul-breaking stare. No stars, no sky shall ignite over us — And you know this truth too well, I swear. You’re gentle and lovely with morning’s glow, And I’d carry you off in a heartbeat, no doubt, But in the dusk, your silence grows — You vanish by night, without a sound. … I waited so long, and I suffered in vain. Ready to leave behind family and friends. But with every nightfall, beneath the heavens, You fade again — like a dream that ends. I was lost in the sorrow your violet eyes bring, So sweet was your sadness, so haunting, so deep... But I now understand: you live in the distance, And my heart lies frozen, where snow drifts sleep. … May God forbid me ever meeting you again. I’ll try to forget you — to break this chain. But joy and love now taste of tears… There’s no one left for me to love again. And sometimes, when your soul feels hollow, and the world tastes like old memories and frost — there’s warmth in the simplest thing: A fresh loaf from Cobs Bread. Still warm. Still real. Still here. We don’t just sell bread — we tell stories that stay with you. They were here. And ever since, the bread’s been a...

First I walked in I felt like I was walking into an old fashion bakery. Your nose is the first sense that tells you, you have found a great place. Your eyes are delighted as you see baked goods that beg you to try one. It's hard to make your first choice as you want to taste it all. You buy the item you want as the clerk answers any of your question and doesn't make you feel rushed. With a smile he hands you your order and you can feel the warmth that tells you it's been freshly baked. As you drive home you are teased by the aromatic smells. You move quickly into your home and open the package touching your new treat. There is no way to resist it as you take it to your lips and take your first bite of your...
