Hopefully many of you are in the middle of a nice, long long weekend right now. I’m still toiling away in the flour mines myself, mostly getting ready for my pretzel workshop this coming weekend. And prepping for my workshop at The Kneading Conference later this month.
With July 4 here, we are finally into the heart of summer, though you wouldn’t know that where I live here in the Pacific Northwest New England, where it has seemingly rained every day since temperatures rose above freezing. Welcome to the new normal, as they say.
This Wednesday I’ll be sharing a recipe from
’s newly-expanded reissue of his book Veggie Burgers, Every Which Way. If you think veggie burgers are just for hippies or bland and boring, this book will change your mind. I’d hoped to have a revised burger bun recipe to share with it, but it remains stuck in R&D, so stay tuned for that soon, hopefully by the time you get the book in your hands.Happy Fireworks Day, see you on Wednesday.

i live in the woods in western pennsylvania where wiki now describes our temperature as "marine west coast environment". what????????? baked some brioche buns this morning that were so damp.
I live in central NY where May was so dry I actually had to water HOSTA. Then June arrived, and along with it the rain. Now it's so wet we can't mow, the daylilies have aphids, and mushrooms are sprouting under the hosta. I just returned from nine days at the the family cottage on the coast of Maine and after five days of rain/fog/mist/cold threw in the towel and came home early. I did make 2 loaves of sourdough last week and they seem unaffected by the weather, but the A/C is on, so there's that.
