Zoe is on Twitter, and I responded to something she said about the new
book, a few weeks ago. I told her that I knew she knows you...and
said that I "knew" you . She says she adores you!

She has been giving tantalizing hints about the new book on Twitter,
mentioning some addicting sounding recipes. I will get the book when
I get to the bay area... Just too many books to pack right now..LOL. I
think I am going to have to get another bookshelf when I get there...

I am looking forward to this new book, although I can get terrific
bread in the SFBA.

Christine, who just remembered she has to bring her bread dough
container to the bay area.

THIS book? It's just out today. Amazon's been shipping since
yesterday, I believe.

MOF, I think they're there within the next couple days to record
something on WGN-TV. Whole Foods should have VWG. Read the
artisanbreadinfive site -- info and pics there.

I've got two Cambro containers, a 6-quart and a 4-quart that will be
here on Thursday. Ordered from webstaurant.com -- more reasonably
priced than any other i found.

I think mine is a 6 quart. I got it at Surfas, in Culver City, the
last time I was there. Don't remember how much I paid for it, but the
prices are on their website.

Thanks, luv! I just made my first three loaves this past Sunday, first
bread I'd baked for a whiles. Now I'll be back to baking bread on a weekly
basis...this year I'm gonna get more adventurous!

A friend of mine has the book and loves it, she makes LOVERLY rye bread...

I'll look at Zoe's website, maybe she'll be in the Chicago area soon, I'd
sure to like to meet her...

Is the wheat gluten commonly available? I have a Whole Foods and some
health food stores nearby, I'm sure they'd have it. I could also order
online...

a cake mix box.

Try the brioche dough from ABiFMaD for these mini-cinnamon rolls; I made
them for the class I did a month ago:
http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/?p=308 (the link is for the roll
recipe and construction, not the dough recipe).
