Still, by noon every Saturday, he’s sold out of the 400 loaves he loaded into his muddy pickup in rural Blue Mounds. That’s because Ford’s bread is different. His tangy, crusty loaves, baked in a wood-burning oven built by the legendary mason Alan Scott, are made using obscure organic grains that he sources locally and grinds himself, and leavened using natural fermentation rather than industrial yeast. Ford’s customers, some with medically diagnosed wheat allergies, have found that they have no problem digesting Cress Spring’s Kamut, spelt and all-rye breads, even the French white loaf, which — Ford is aware of the paradox — is one of his best sellers. (He sneaks up to 35 percent whole-wheat and rye flours into it, explaining: “White bread is just a mystery to me. Everything tastes better with rye.”) Even a Manhattan nutritionist could probably polish off a Cress Spring loaf without bloating.

My neighbor spent Sunday chasing Yellow Fin (Ahi) between San Diego and Catalina. They were running near the surface with dolphins. He landed a 30 lb one. I scored a nice hunk of sushi grade ahi. I cut it into two 2" thick steaks. Pan seared for 6 minutes in canola oil with just sea salt. With a side of sliced tomatoes with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic. Local pinot noir to wash it down.

Bill (or anyone), any thoughts on what's being used to wrap paintings these days? I used to buy big rolls of polyethylene but this archival art materials dealer is pushing Tyvek Soft Wrap. They claim it's better than polyethylene AND glassine. I would like something I could use for paintings but also my stretched paper pieces, that (a) wouldn't react and (b) would be easy to tape and untape. I'm also looking at archival shipping/packing tape.

i suppose there is an on the go market for single serving instant coffees but i still find it ironic that starbucks which road the wave of quality whole bean coffee would in a search for greater revenue head back in the other direction. just drinking it now (they gave me a free sample). not terrible. they did a great job of replicating their burnt flavor.
