It's such good bread!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-87379235529103273702008-03-15T16:18:00.000-05:002008-03-15T16:18:00.000-05:00hello famous one.....just noticed that rose mentio...hello famous one.....just noticed that rose mentioned your blog in her last post. woohoo!jinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274997124184312649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-3264810463420383242008-03-12T16:59:00.000-05:002008-03-12T16:59:00.000-05:00Pat,I agree that there is a lot of interest, and I...Pat,<BR/>I agree that there is a lot of interest, and I hope there will be an overflowing crowd for the April discussion.

I am impressed with your breadbaking skills. Based on the number of people there, I think there is a lot of interest. I will be a presenter in April (28th) with my cookbook "Baking Basics and Beyond" and hope I do as well.

I'll have to let you know what the panelists recommend, and you can see if you agree.<BR/><BR/>Doughadear,<BR/>It was a lot of fun. Bakers are lovely people.<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/>My pleasure. I think the cookbook review is an inspired idea. I hope that you're planning one on vegetarian cookbooks. Like a lot of people, I'm doing more vegetarian cooking now, although I'm not a vegetarian. I've got my own favorite vegetarian cookbooks, but I'd love to hear about others.<BR/><BR/>Jini,<BR/>As a cookbook collector, I'm in awe of people who say they cook only from two favorite (and duct-taped) cookbooks. But I can't believe you haven't tried The Bread Bible yet! Did I know that?<BR/><BR/>Pinknest,<BR/>Ha. I think it's hard to say kugelhopf without sounding faintly obscene, and when you use it in the same sentence as "denude,".... I'm going to try to master chocolate babka at some point in my life--I think the kugelhopf may be a good starting point.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-49103735064317953992008-03-10T20:44:00.000-05:002008-03-10T20:44:00.000-05:00i want to denude the kugelhopf!! that sounds dirty...i want to denude the kugelhopf!! that sounds dirty.pinknesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753673917404683996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-69218938132867867882008-03-10T13:44:00.000-05:002008-03-10T13:44:00.000-05:00this is a great post marie. your breads were inde...this is a great post marie. your breads were indeed beautiful and delicious.....both of them! it was such fun to hear the differing methods of the bakers...and see their well-used cookbooks, some i believe were held together with shipping tape! ;) i have used my new book, and successfully baked some 5 minute artisan bread.....i may get up my courage and use tbb yet! <BR/>i am looking forward to the march rendition of edesia....mediterranean snacks are calling. <BR/>hey it's nice to be FORMER strangers!jinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274997124184312649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-22224483852400336872008-03-10T08:54:00.000-05:002008-03-10T08:54:00.000-05:00Marie,Thanks again for sharing your experience and...Marie,<BR/>Thanks again for sharing your experience and your bread with everyone. You spoke with such humor and reasonableness; I know you inspired others, as I saw a couple of Rose's books head toward the cash registers. And Jim, your photos are terrific! I'm feeling all sorts of good karma from Edesia getting off to such a good start.
