Week II Baking

  What a great turn out on opening day! Way to go Kelly!! The rain held off and everyone was so excited to see everybody, and sad, too, that the "Maple Syrup Guy" (as my kids so eloquently call him) is no longer with us. Thank you all for coming by! And a big thanks to Karen Purke from the McGuffy Spice Company for supplying the seasonings for our dipping oil!

  So, this week my baking plan is as follows: don't sear the first load of Sourdough for one!
  To err is human, so evident in this business as well as other adages of the sort:
If-you-can-mess-up-you-will kind of thing. I'd rather not think about those. It's all part of the adventure!
Better yet are lovely thoughts like this:

 “The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight..." M.F.K. Fisher

Or...

“Bread – like real love – took time, cultivation, strong loving hands and patience. It lived, rising and growing to fruition only under the most perfect circumstances.”
― Melissa Hill, Something From Tiffany’s

Ready To Bake

Whew that was a quick spring! We finished our school for the year and have a bit left to do on the kid's 4-H projects. The garden is in and thriving well, too. We've been very busy finish old projects and keeping to tradition: starting new projects!

 Market starts this weekend! Our Fourth Year at the DownTown Troy Farmer's Market. This year I plan alternating our bread selection each week. That way we can have a nice variety of breads to choose from all summer. Of course I'll have the every week favorites, but this is the plan anyhow. Next week I'll post a different selection. You can talk to me about this too, nothing is written in stone - we can change things up a bit to keep it interesting!

Expect to find this weekend on the table for June 13, 2015:

• Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
• Onion Potato Sourdough
• Baguettes
• Oatmeal &Walnut Sourdough
• Artisan Sourdough*
• Cinnamon Raisin Bread*
• Whole Wheat Pizza Crusts*
•  Regular White Crust*
• Sourdough Pizza Crust*

Hey, we'll see you there! I bet you won't recognize the children! Growing was the thing to do this year!

*We should be bringing these every week - unless of course there's a kitchen/oven mishap!
