As we were returning with Bob and Pam from a day of activities, we decided to check out the Orange Peel Bakery.
We had passed the sign for the bakery several times already, as it is on the main drag not far from Ellie and Jack’s place. Always on the prowl for potential delicacies, this seemed a logical place to stop. We were in for a treat.
Juli Vanderhoop is the proprietor and baker. Most of her wares are baked in the outdoor oven built with local stones.

Turns out, the NY Times had just been by to do a photo essay. The coolest thing, though, is that she hosts “pizza night” every Wednesday night during the summer. She makes the crust and people bring toppings to share.
