Fearing I had messed up a dish I made for a work potluck, I stopped on my way to work to pick up a box of cookies, just in case. Even though I pass Bakers of All Nations every morning and delight in the heavenly smell coming from its store, I have never been inside.
Walking in I was delighted to see lots of tables and chairs and a good amount of people taking in a leisurely morning bite. How I longed to join them. Alas, I scanned the cookie racks and decided to get a box for the office. Prices aren't listed and I wished I had asked because it did come out a little pricier than I had anticipated.
