So some back story- there is this really great farmer's market on Main Street every Sunday morning. I've been going sporadically ever since I moved here; in fact I used to see Jeremy Pivin there almost every Sunday back before he got all big-time in Entourage.
There are all these great vendors who sell really fabulous produce and beautiful flowers. There are also local restaurants that set up stalls and sell breakfast- omelets and pancakes and tamales. Then there are vendors who sell prepared foods like honey and pesto and BREAD.
Ah yes, the bread. There is a stall called "The Breadman" and he makes FANTASTIC bread. The thing is, pre-marathon Amy rolled up to the farmer's market at around 11:00 AM on a good day. Sometimes it was later than that. So I always stop and buy something from The Breadman. 11AM Me was lucky if there were still these balls of goodness called Pretzel ROLLS by the time I got there. Pretzel ROLLS are, as the clever name implies, dinner rolls, made out of bread that tastes like pretzels. The Breadman only makes a few of each of his products every week, and once things are gone, they're gone. I've kind of always wondered "Hey, why not just make more of the stuff that is the most popular?" But who am I to question The Breadman?
That brings me to Pretzel BITES. Now, ever since I starting going to the farmer's market 5 years ago, I've heard of these creations, but never truly believed the existed because I'd never seen them with my own eyes. Apparently the pretzel BITES are extremely popular and go FAST.
I've made a little routine on Sunday mornings that i think I'm going to stick with: I begrudgingly get out of bed at 7:30 (ish) and then I go do the running thing. Once I'm done, I swing over to the Farmer's market. That puts me in PRIME Breadman time, and I am happy to report that yesterday, I got my first ever batch of PRETZEL BITES, and they were delicious! Little morsels of soft pretzely goodness.
