The GH is one of my neighbourhood bakeries and... Read More

It's sometimes frustrating that I plan to make plans with people, but often get sidetracked. This was the perfect opportunity to prevent such an occurrence, so I said "YES!" As we mulled over spots to eat, my friend mentioned her desire to go to Chives. Chives had... Read More
