Miracle Bread

We got this little bakery down the road that makes real good bread and pastries. Everything they got is real good to eat and not real good for your health and weight. The owner and head baker is Juanita Bondhurt. She studied art during her college years and paints good enough to sell a few here and there but not good enough to make a living at it. She does real good at the bakery though and uses her art to help market her products. One of the favorites around here is what she calls Miracle Bread. She makes this nice little loaf and when you slice it and toast it, the dough and cinnamon or what ever she uses has been arranged to reveal an actual portrait of some famous person or character in a book or movie; a person most of us know about. Every morning she will slice off a piece of bread, toast it, and stick it in the window to show off her work. This morning it was Elvis. She is pretty good at art, but excellent at marketing.
