    Would love to know the secret to getting my bread to have that type of crumb! I could eat a piece right now.  Great work. 

     

    Kbjesq,  I get asked that all the time.  I know that hydration and developing the gluten has a lot to do with it, but I also think that the flour I use (Canadian)  also contributes.

  8. Ringing out the old year.

     

    Cioppino%20December%2031st%2C%202015%201

    Ringing in the new had to wait until this morning. We never make it to midnight.

    Our tradition has always been to have lobster and champagne on New Year's Eve. Last year we decided to have local Dungeness crab instead.

     

    Cioppino%20December%2031st%2C%202015%202

    And this year, we decided to have crab, but to have it in a Cioppino, The crab weighed 2 1/4 pounds, and I added Clams, Mussels, local spot prawns and halibut to the pot.
