Today a little friend of the girls' dawdled into my house carrying his Arby's chicken strips, ready to play the afternoon away and said "It smells like Bubble Bread in here!!! WOAH there's a lot of bubble bread in here!!!!"
I went to help his mom - dear, dear friend who came shlepping hot lunch on this long, cold bake day and - with the rest of his food and thought, how lovely.
The best part about the market were that friends became customers and customers became friends. Lingering at the table and watching kids play and talking about our weeks was just the best part.
The fact that that's still a thing is so sweet. The fact that little people have picked up on the fact that focaccia is known as Bubble Bread around here is hilarious and darling. The fact that it's not just bread, it's the joy of gathering is the whole reason this little shindig exists.
I'll do another pickup around Valentine's Day. Be sure to try the Bubble Bread π«Άπ»β¨
