My daily bread... Hi friends, It feels like we’ve been dancing around the calendar a little lately - a short week behind us, another one ahead, and a quiet holiday Monday today. While the lights were low out front, the kitchen was anything but sleepy today. I popped in this morning to get things moving for the week, sourdough loaves are proofing and trays of bagels are tucked into the fridge, ready to hit the ovens bright and early tomorrow. We’re back in full swing tomorrow (Tuesday), just...
