Trade Show

Sorry about no Daily Bread today but I was at a trade show today for gourmet food items and gift items. It was overwhelming and awesome at the same time. So many great products out there for baking and cooking and it makes me want to buy them all. Here is a picture of one of the cool products I saw. 

That's right America bakes and the Statue of Liberty supports America's baking habit.

"I judge a restaurant by the bread and the coffee." - Burt Lancaster 

The Daily Bread

                                                                Solitude 

HAPPY the man, whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest, who can unconcern’dly find
Hours, days, and years, slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mix’d, sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie. - Alexander Pope

The Daily Bread

"Here is bread, which strengthens man's hearts, and therefore called the staff of life." - Mathew Henry

The Daily Bread

"My bread is sweet and nourishing, made from my own wheat, ground in my own mill, and baked in my own oven." - Tobias Smollett, Humphrey Clinker

Let's just say I look forward to the day when I can get my very own mill. Then I will be able to really do some baking. Don't get me wrong I love using King Arthur Flour and only use other flours when KAF is not available (like on short notice). It is the Porsche of flour but milling your own flour is the Rolls Royce of flour and nothing can compare with the freshness of it.

"Corn and oats is much the same as saying people and horses." - F. Braudel

The Daily Bread

"The great thing about baking with yeast is the difficulty of failure." - George and Cecilia Scurfeild, Home Baked
