Good day all,
I had the pleasure of attending Jim's annual bread bash yesterday. After speaking to him on several occassions I had the honour of finally meeting the man behind Mary G's bread. We couldn't of had better weather or a better host for that matter. When my wife & I arrived, Jim graciously greeted us & introduced himself. He had one table set up with fresh wood fired bagels & the other table with a variety of his amazing artisan breads. He introduced my wife and I to Patrick ("J engineer") & his lovely wife Wendy, who along with their 18 month daughter Kate travelled all the way from California to attend. Let me tell you, after sampling Jim's bread & getting to know Jim, I understand why they made the trip. Patrick & I chatted for some time as did our wifes. By the end of the evening we had all become good friends. I can't wait to see them again next year. We met alot of great people & a great time was had by all. Jim was such a great host, after 5 minutes with him, you feel like you've known him for a lifetime. We all watched him make fresh kaisers for the burgers as well as his signature parisian baguette. Let me tell you, this baguette is the best ever. I have never had a baguette like this. Jim's secret for making such amazing bread is actually quite simple, the best ingredients money can buy & lots of love. After carefully forming each loaf, Jim places the bread in the Hearth Oven where he carefully monitors the baking time. Once his timer goes off, he checks the internal temperature of the bread to ensure that it is perfect, & Voila the optimal loaf. For all of you who have yet to try Mary G's bread, I only have one question. What are you waiting for??? Let me tell you, once you try it, everything else will pale in comparison.
Jim, thanks so much for your superior hospitality & it was an absolute pleasure to meet you & your lovely family. I hope to see you soon.
