Its like Christmas in Spring (otherwise known as “Easter”), when the Mighty V begins taking pre-orders for those decadent bread-y treats Not-For-Everyday.

A week or so before the Big Occassion arrives, they begin stocking the goodies, right there On The Shelf(!!), for those of us who can’t wait.

A hand-loved, sourdough boule, crammed with semi-sweet choco-bits, be still my heart!

I have it for breakfast, warm and soft (from the microwave—Sacrilege no doubt!), all runny and gooey, melted chocolate running into the melting clotted cream which simply MUST be slathered all over it.

I’m weak in the knees, tummy tingling, just thinking about it!
