Super special shoutout to Country Bread Bakery for asking us to fill in at the Guilford farmers market today!
Everyone (vendors and patrons) was awesome and engaging.
This is why we love the cottage food scene in Connecticut.

An elderly Newfoundland, gazing at Long Island Sound, and hoping for one more swim.

Everyone that has visited the farmhouse, to pick up bread or take a baking class, fell in love with Charlie.
Sadly, she left us today.
We will miss her forever.

Several shelves of bread forming baskets.

I went to Germany for a week.
Now I’m home.
Time to bake breadz.

In the foreground are five cheddar sourdough pan loaves on a wooden bench. Above these are two loaves of maple walnut sourdough in round metal bowls. These are bulk fermenting. In the top left is a Simply Bread Oven baking a dozen loaves of bread.

Lately we’ve been too busy to stop and take nice bread porn photos- so here is some bulk fermentation in progress, with boules baking in the oven in the background.
Best of luck to all the cottage bakers doing farmers markets this weekend!

We’ve all been there. I’ve earned frequent flyer points for my number of failures.

On the Col de la Loze a person holds a giant pretzel as the Yellow Jersey passes by.

Pretzels have entered the Tour de France discourse.
