Traveled to East Providence Rhode Island, on Friday, to attend the celebrations of the 5 year old grandson's birth! We started out a bit later than usual and immediately joined the millions of trucks on the road and crawled across the Throg's Neck Bridge into the Bronx. Finally on I-95 in Westchester County we were able to travel at the speed limit. Then, as usual, we slowed down in Connecticut. So, since Nana was driving I pulled out the Blackberry and did a search for something to eat in the Norwalk area.
Suddenly, I remembered SONO Baking Company and Cafe. Got onto the GPS and let it navigate us to the Bakery in SONO (South Norwalk). We had attended the Martha Stewart show on the day they taped the episode where John Barricelli brought out his new book entitled: The Sono Baking Company Cookbook, and as audience members we received two copies!
The book is great, I really enjoyed reading it and will start testing some of the sweet recipes soon! In the book he talks about the Cafe and the breakfast and lunch menus, they sounded interesting, so we set out to see what it was all about! You can sit inside with picture window views of the staff working in the bakery preparing pastries and baking breads. Or there are a few umbrellaed tables outside to dine al fresco.
Meanwhile we enjoyed our lunch at the cafe! Nana had the Club sandwich with Turkey, Ham, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado with Horseradish Mayo! I had the special salad with Grilled Salmon, Romaine, Tomatoes and Blueberry/Balsamic Vinaigrette. We also bought a loaf of Seeded Semolina bread for our planned Spaghetti & Meatball dinner and two Cherry Chocolate Chunk Cookies for the car! The cookies were awesome and the bread was perfect.
Of course now we're trying to figure out how early we have to leave RI on Monday to make it back for lunch on the way home!!!
