SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 706

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize Sweetish Hill Bakery as it celebrates its 30th year of 
providing high-quality baked goods in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, The popular bakery on West Sixth Street, co-owned 
by Patricia Bauer-Slate and Jim Murphy, combines a deli with an 
artisan bakery and attracts a crowd as eclectic as its variety of 
baked goods; and
	WHEREAS, Some of the Sweetish Hill customers have been 
coming to the bakery for years for its fresh fruit Danishes, 
popular Gypsy Horn croissants, healthy whole grain breads, or 
savory sandwiches; Sweetish Hill bakes cakes, caters parties, 
provides a daily hot lunch for a private school, and supplies 
baked goods to some of the best restaurants in town; and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1975 by Patricia Bauer-Slate and
Tom Neuhaus in an old Victorian house in an East Austin area known 
as Old Swede's Hill, the bakery has undergone a number of changes 
over the years, but its excellence in producing its baked goods 
has remained constant; and
	WHEREAS, Jim Murphy joined the bakery first as a baker in 
1988 and became a co-owner in 1990; today, the bakery has a staff 
of over 40 employees at its main location on West Sixth Street and 
supplies breads, pastries, soups, and salads for an additional 
site at 98 San Jacinto Boulevard; and
	WHEREAS, With over 85 products made fresh daily and a 
history of 30 years of quality breads and pastries, Sweetish Hill 
remains a gathering place to some of Austin's most interesting 
people; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby congratulate the talented owners and 
staff of Sweetish Hill Bakery on its 30th anniversary and extend 
to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
                                                                      Barrientos
