Ode to Chocolate Sour Cherry Bread
chocolate sour cherry bread
fresh from the store
J took lots of big bites
then there was no more
A and I recently discovered the chocolate sour cherry bread from La Brea bakery and it was fabulous!! The bread itself is chocolatey with large chunks of chocolate liberally sprinkled throughout the loaf. A chocolate bread with chocolate chunks -- that's just TOO much I'd say (yes, there IS such a thing as too much chocolate) but it's not! And the tartness of the cherries was a nice complement to the sweet chocolate.
This sweet bread has been my breakfast treat for the last couple of mornings along with a steaming hot cup of jasmine tea. Delicious breakfast! A girl needs a special little somethin' before she goes out to face the cold and wet commute to work, wouldn't you say?
chocolate sour cherry bread
really fills my heart & head
whenever i smell its scent
i must admit i'm always bent
on finishing it to the very end
-- courtesy of A's creative juices in the wee hours of the morning
i still think my poem is better.
there once was a chocolate sour
it had a secret power
it ate a cherry
that was a bit hairy
and it turned into chocolate sour cherry bread!
