James,

Okay, okay, already. How about a Modena Twister? Might as well start small .

Jim & JE,
It'll be my pleasure to spin some pies.

Matt

JE,

Wow and many thanks for taking these. Rest? When, in my copious free time? The pizza idea is a good one for next year. We'll see what Matthew has to say about that. Still gotta have some bread, though. Repeat guests would revolt without Ancienne baguette and focaccia.

My blushing bride also won a bag of Farina - I think it is the first commercial product that she has received with her last name on it. She thinks that anything that has her name on it is hers. Unfortunately I was out of focus and I missed the kissing bandit kissing our host.



Matthew's Side-kick getting a packet of the treasured pizza flour. Each winner of the flour received a typed sheet on the FB letterhead that has the recipe for making pizza dough. There were extras for those that were not lucky enough to get a bag of flour.

Matthew (FB) and his lovely bride who I believe are a wee bit Sicilian/Italian.
I was shooting with my favorite lense the 105mm. It is a nice portrait lense, I can be somewhat far from the subject and still get a clean shot.



I have put out the idea to Matthew and Jim to have Jim rest the day of the bash. Maybe next year the bake oven gets put to use with a live fire for a pizza bash. Jim and Matthew can make up the doughs and Lisie and I will prep all the toppings. It has been rather silent from Jim though!



Kate (the blonde with her back to us) was pulling the raffle tickets, Alfredo is showing off a shirt



Alfredo's son Vinny (another alias you know) won a bag of Farina

So the silk socks were worn by Napolean when he was remanded to a small island.

I have finally gotten my real film developed and downloaded some of the digital shots from the free camera - fixed lense no cover, hey it was free. For a second I thought we were at Universal Studios

The trees were in full color and my sinus were reeling. Did you know that the national flower of Toronto is the Dandelion?

Alfredo (FB) and his son showed up, here is Alfredo holding court in front of the freebies generously provided by Forno Bravo



Jim was working up a storm not as much as last year. I don't know what the lady was saying - maybe something like - gee I wish I was Sicilian

All,

I'll post Bread Bash pics in the photo gallery, but I'm not sure of the category to use.

Re: Mary G's 2nd Annual Bread Bash

Thank goodness there is consensus that there were no leftovers. For a minute I was afraid that I had gone home too early!

Re: Mary G's 2nd Annual Bread Bash

RT,

Leftovers? What leftovers? Imagine John Wayne staggering through the desert, on his last legs, with two vultures sitting on nearby cacti waiting their chance. The glint in their scavenger eyes was the same look I saw at the Bread Bash. The only things left over were a few burgers and crumbs.

I'll try to get the pics from my camera up this weekend.

Jim

First time I heard people say; "I'll have a burger, please hold the burger".

Re: Mary G's 2nd Annual Bread Bash

The best baguettes ever, this photo brings back the aroma in the air when Jim pulled them out of the oven. As a matter of fact, my wife was in France in March & told Jim that the ones she had there paled in comparison. You're the bomb Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
