Lately, it seems like all the supermarkets and wholesale clubs have their
own bakeries. I dread trying them. I guess there's no telling how fresh
everything is.

Granted I haven't looked in my local yellow pages for bakeries. I'm sure
there are many, just that I would want a bakery for cakes and cookies, if
I had a sweet tooth.

I asked around at a few supermarket bakeries for french bread to make a
french toast recipe but all they made were bagettes. Hardly suitable.
*sigh*
