"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is from The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook and has been cooked for years by Sarah Sadler, Managing Director of The Falmouth Chorale.



I first met Sarah when I auditioned for the Chorale in 2017. She is an extraordinary leader and superb cook. I know firsthand because I won six months of her baked cookies from at a Falmouth Chorale auction.

During the pandemic, a few days before Thanksgiving, Sarah called to ask if we would like a Thanksgiving delivery of freshly baked bread, instead of cookies. Though Richard and I were alone for Thanksgiving, which was hard, I cooked our family's favorite menu and we visited with all of our children and grandchildren on Zoom.

I felt grateful for our bounty and having Sarah's freshly baked bread was a cherished gift.

Sarah Sadler's musicianship and her cooking skills go hand in hand. When the pandemic is behind us, I hope we'll be singing together again and that readers can attend our wonderful Falmouth Chorale concerts. ~ Peggy Wolman
