this is my business

So many times when I was in France or Italy I would look in the windows of boulangeries or patisseries, and I would just stare at these wonderful things, I didn’t know what they were really, but the ones I liked looked rustic, flavorful, like they had love and integrity and tradition as their main ingredients. And I would wish I spoke enough of the language to ask more about them, to learn just what they were, how they were made, or to talk with the boulanger and be shown the basement ovens and bakeshop. Or I would go inside and buy something, and wish I could just linger. Just linger. So, I hoped to create the same stimulation here for others that I felt so many times looking in shop windows in Paris, in Rome, in Lyon, or in many small villages, and wished to recreate something similar, a common recollection in the minds of my customers and passers by as they looked longingly, heads on a string turning backwards as their legs marched on.
