BREAD- is anyone

[laura]

There's a brioche type of pepper, herb bread that I have eaten at now defunct

American Place restaurant. that I have always wanted to make so this gives

me the opportunity. It does require yeast for it's execution.

[jaybee]

Jinmyo:  suzerainity

My first new word in three years!

Does it mean "dominant authority"

There is also the word "suzerainty."

I assume they are related.

[SobaAddict70]

If nothing else, the word "bread" alone would make for a very interesting restaurant name.

I'm assuming its never been done before.

hm, if things go well this time around, I'd like to participate. (I suck at baking, but I can cook something. Bruschetta topping, maybe.)

I'm working on a date and a place so bear with me.

[helenas]

there is a recipe for chocolate-cherry bread in the new Boulud book (not to worry, it's yeasted).

Probably, not a good idea; i baked it yesterday and it came out pretty ordinary.

I'll try some russian black bread instead.

[stefanyb]

Okay people. We've got a place and the date is Sunday, January 26th.

Yeast Breads made by hand, and accoutrements!

[yvonne johnson]

Sounds good. Count me and g.(whom I hope to persuade to do one of his baguettes) in.

[Toby]

Me too.

[Sandra Levine]

Confirming, too.

[laura]

OK Laura

So, if you are accepting out-of-town contributions, where would we send them?

Any LA egulleteers want to try this? (I'll start a thread on California page)

the first truly bi-coastal egullet event! very exciting indeed. webcam anyone?

[Bux]

I'm volunteering as judge or taster. Hmm, maybe there's the opportunity to make fewer enemies by just volunteering as free loader. Or I could be a paying cutomer at the eGullet bake sale. That's a crumby idea. How about a loaf of butter or a bottle of wine.

[Robert Schonfeld]

I'd like to renew my offer to give some Carl's Oregon Trail starter to anyone attending the event who would like some. Please let me know as I'll have to mix up enough to go around.

[La Niña]

Me too, for two. I'll bake, probably a babka. Beau will bring butter, cheese, wine, jam, etc., according to what's needed...

Sarins family for two: I'll try to produce some black russian bread: also bringing butter and wine with us.

[stefanyb]

Oh, and just to make it official, I'm doing challah.

Yes, yes we would be delighted and honored!

PM me for delivery plans

(Oh, and we may be getting a delivery from London too)

Unless someone has strong feelings to the contrary, I think we should all be judges of a kind but it shouldn't actually be a contest, just a display of talents.

Buxie m'boy please do come. I'm sure you can come up with something to bring of any sort. After all you are a Moderator!

[stefanyb]

ALERT! I've just been informed that the 26th is the Superbowl. Should we change the date to the 19th???????

Personally I don't care but would hate to make anyone choose

[La Niña]

I don't care about the Superbowl, and I'd prefer the 26th.

[CathyL]

I volunteered to host so I wouldn't have to parade my long-unpracticed yeast bread skills. Weather permitting, maybe I'll fire up the outdoor pizza oven...

No Superbowl conflict for me either.

[helenas]

ALERT!  I've just been informed that the 26th is the Superbowl.  

We're OK with the date, and actually prefer it.

[Robert Schonfeld]

Outdoor pizza oven?! Wood burning? I'm seeing all kinds of possibilities.

You have a tv, right? Just in the highly unlikely event that the Giants are in it.

[La Niña]

If the SuperBowl is on that big TV, I ain't comin' . And no, I'm not kidding. One of the reasons I'm delighted that this event is on the 26th is because I need have no awareness of the SuperBowl whatsoever. And if the SuperBowl watchers go downstairs - well that's no better, in my view. This is a social event, a baking event, not a TV or sports event.

Robert, forgive me, it's not about you. I just can't stand it.
