The picture above was taken at Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon on my summer Odyssey. I have been baking bread for 36 years and am still in awe when I take a fresh loaf from the oven.
In my day job, I teach 7th graders how to fall in love once again with words and language in the form of reading & writing. We also study medieval world history by reading about it and then doing something with it like acting it out, or writing about it, etc.; culminating the school year with a schoolwide Renaissance Faire, of which I am the reigning Queen.
I have two grown children, Cate and Matthew, of whom I am extremely proud. They are spectacular human beings, as gorgeous on the inside as they are externally.
I am an avid cookbook collector with a huge collection.
I am delighted to be a part of this challenge. I have made breads that I have never heard of. I have made breads that I thought were out of my league, and yet they have turned out to be fabulous. This has pushed me to be adventurous in my bread baking. I have learned so much, and I look forward to expanding that knowledge each week with others in this challenge, my partners in yeast.
I'm starting the challenge this week, and I'm excited. It was great to take a peek over all the breads you've made. They are beautiful!
