Alpine Loaf

Mmm, cheese bread:

So far, the Alpine loaf is the only amazing thing I've tasted from The Bread Bar. This is actually the $1 mini loaf, which is great for a snack. The full loaf, which is big and sort of shaped like a football, has a LOT more crusty Emmenthaler cheese oozing off the edges.

Here's a random bowl of noodles I threw together. J made the meat, which is marinated and slow braised beef shank. The recipe's sort of Szechuanese, and is flavor packed enough that tossing it with some plain noodles and spinach makes for a good meal.
