Human connections...

As I ponder and think of what is it that I like the most about Peace and Loaf I come to the conclusion that it is the connections formed by people sharing a cup of coffee and a piece of bread. Our communal tables, where sometimes you have to ask someone to move over to make room for you provide this opportunity. Sometimes you get to meet a visitor or perhaps a neighbor who you have seen but maybe never got a chance to speak to. Great friendships have started right at these tables. Also, personally, it gives me great joy when I look up and see a familiar face walking in, maybe someone I haven't seen since the last season. A hug, a smile... like the Master Card commercial says "it's priceless".

The Community at Peace and Loaf...

It wasn't quite 9am last Saturday at Peace and Loaf, the fresh scent of just baked cinnamon rolls filled the air, when one of our customers snuck in through the opening of the gate and asked if he could take some pics of the bread coming out of the oven. That event started our happy day, the welcoming fish flags got put in place and Reed, a friend and customer, helped by opening the gate.

T'shirts at Peace and Loaf...

New T's have arrived at Peace and Loaf. We have beautiful grey and white t'shirts with the Peace and Loaf logo printed on them. And, we also have George's Art t'shirts. The
artwork printed in these shirts includes imagery photographed by George and modified digitally, then hand printed by their daughter Karen. Do stop in and check them out! P.S. Note our smiling celebrity hostess for the day "Miss Lisa Welsch" wearing one of the new Peace and Loaf t'shirts and a dark vest.

First Saturday of the season!!!

Beautiful weather... getting in the groove.
Introducing a new bread is always exciting. "Potato" is the new babe on the block.
The recipe was given to us by our good friend Bill. He scrutinized the first loaves and has finally given his approval. Dense and full bodied, makes excellent sandwich slices and incredible toast.

2009 New Season for Peace & Loaf...

3am.... the alarm goes off, the artist residency is over, the holidays are over and yes, it is January 7th, 2009 and it's time to get up and make good bread. We stumbled a little through the house trying to adjust to our new baking schedule and hopped inside the jeep on the way to the bakery. I-Pod blasting Joan Baez and 500 miles, the mixer going, the logs in the oven, sponges being made, dough being pounded down and bread was on its way. 9 am arrived before we even noticed... the gate was open and familiar faces came strutting in with a smile and the "2 cinnamon rolls with lots of glaze, please" usual request. Ahhh... life is good!
