The Goods: Trader Joe's Artisan Bread

I've been meaning to feature this bread for some time now...the picture has been patiently waiting. Trader Joe's Artisan Breads are awesome. Don't know if they are the same in every part of the country, but it's worth checking out. My particular favorite is the Par-Baked Filone (pictured). This is the bread I used for my sandwich yesterday, and why it was so pretty.

PS - I can't WAIT to take a picture of my birthday cake for you...but I have to get it first. It's my best present every year. You're gonna love it, even if you can't eat it. :)
