Pro baker, great cook, & friend o' mine's new food blog

Cathy Cleary, a good friend of mine from college days at UNC-Greensboro who now lives in Asheville and is an owner/operator of a great bakery (West End Bakery, that's Cathy in the second picture from top pulling bread out of the oven & her co-owner Krista is at the register in the photo at top; also see Cathy further down icing the cinnamon rolls which are the best I've ever put in my mouth; everyone should visit them and the other cool small shops on Haywood Road when next in Asheville) in the West Asheville neighborhood she and her husband Reid call home, has given up non-local food for lent, and she is blogging about her experiences here. Check it out for some eating-local inspiration. Be warned, it will make your mouth water. Bon appetit!
