dear raisin bread

Thank you for being a delicious distraction for my boys when we are grocery shopping. They consume about half your loaf in the time it takes me to zip around the store stopping only, of course, to put groceries in my cart and more of your slices in their hands. One time, I tried to replace you with cheese bread. I paid for my mistake and I shall not try that again. I always appreciate when you are on sale but, still, will buy you as long as I have two boys in my cart.

Sincerely yours,

Gillian Kantor

p.s. but even you, raisin bread, are no match for boredom.
