Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Remember, remember, the 5th of November

The Gunpowder Treason and plot;

I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

The sandwich special today will be the Guy Fawkes:  Turkey, spicy mayo, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and lettuce.  $7.75

To quote Gertrude Stein “A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose”

What we are doing on thursdays by any other name would still taste as good –  to paraphrase Mr. Shakespeare.  So come on by and taste something good.  There will be a Halloween aesthetic in play so that should be compelling.  Plus you should come by and see the new window display in front of the bakehouse.  You will notice that Jack O’Lantern is a Carlton supporter (note the hat he is wearing)  –  That was a reference for all you Aussie Rules expats followers.

And for your viewing pleasure –  the attached is Catskill Mountain House by Thomas Cole

Forget about what I was writing about these past few weeks.  That thing I was selling that started with a C.   If you do that will stop the threats from NYC.   Instead I give you the birth of the Umplenut.   And tomorrow’s Umplenut will be filled with chocolate mousse and topped with caramel.

And Umplenuts go even better with HRS paintings than that C thing.

Let me introduce you to a painting by Thomas Doughty entitled In the Catskills.

That reminds me of a certain story that featured a man who slept for 20 years and a ship called the Half Moon.  But more of that next thursday, Halloween!
