NW Loop Day 23 - treats

Turned out this was a day of treats. We knew it was going to be a flat road, no hills but we had to keep pedaling as the headwind picked up during the morning.
First treat was the Country Bakery, a Mennonite bakery along our way.

Delicious Lemon slices, cinnamon rolls and sticky buns.  As a baker myself I appreciated the very light dough and the deft touch with which they were made. All eaten in a delightful garden before we pressed on.
Second treat, lunch at the Block 15 brew pub, recommended by the local bike shop. Weirdly they didn't serve a BLT so I fell back on the pulled pork sandwich which was messy but good to eat.
Third and final treat - a rider from a former tour invited everyone to dinner on their farm. That was a very pleasant change from sitting in a circle of plastic chairs in the motel car park. We drove out to their own lakeside party shed and dined on delicious chicken, corn (recipe to follow), salad, etc with homemade peach, blackberry and homegrown blueberry pie.

  A wonderful end to a pretty good day.

Corn had husks and silks removed and was stacked in an ice chest/cooler/esky and boiling water pitted over it, lid closed and left for 30 mins. It was perfectly cooked - too easy for words.
