"I spent most of April traveling, which took me to many wonderful places and exquisite meals. As I grew more exhausted from being on the road, I started longing for a simple, freshly baked loaf of bread from Clear Flour Bread in Brookline, a place my friend Marian raved about years ago. I tore into the French baguette moments after I snapped a picture of it; the yeasty aroma instantly puffed up and lingered mid-air for a while. The baguette was so crusty that biting into it made crackly sounds as I savored the undressed bread in my car. The interior was perfectly soft-yet-chewy and the exterior shattered and left bread crumbs all over my shirt (what a happy mess!). Now that spring is here, this is your friendly reminder to go picnic with some good bread, wine, and cheese!" - Erika Adams
