Binx: When we came back to OR from NJ-NY-CT, we thought about the bakery business. We talked to a few bakers and comfirmed what we experimented with. You can not make NY bagels or NY italian bread, or SF sourdough in Ore, even if you use the exact recipe, ingredients, and technique. The taste is just different.

Spouse is scratch cook and learned baking from her mother and from master baker at Orowheat. Much of the technique is based on the “feel” of the dough. Ovens are important too-gas convection is better than electric. It is an art.

She did a lot of experimenting-happy time for me. But alas, I am now on a spoused enforced, Atkins diet.
