Wowsa that was good!

Dieting can be a real irritating process. Seasons change and holidays and events arise...its hard to stay on track.

We haven't. And its frustrating. Not that we've lost all the ground we gained, but its hard to get back into the mindset. Getting your gameface on, so to speak.

Its especially hard when you find a new treat in your own neighborhood. Something with as much charm and quality as, say, Panera. I heard about this new local bakery/cafe from a friend's blog. We decided to give it try.

For $8 Sheri and I had our fill of a very good sandwhich and salad combo, and even eenjoyed free samples of one of their pizzas (they are new, so I guess they are introducing themselves to the neighborhood by way of generosity...always a sign of a business that's come to play!) I highly recommend it. Its fantastic food, and the atmosphere is great. For the genre that its competing in, I'd rate it a solid 9...with Starbucks scoring about a 7.5. If you're near a Panera, go to it. Now! Go!
