Friday Bread Pickup This Week
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"20141024-122220.jpg\"Pan de Cioccolate –<\/strong> A delicious chocolate artisan bread that isn’t an enriched sweet pastry dough with lots of eggs, butter and sugar. Rather this bread is a rich chocolate bread made with a levain, bread flour and fresh milled rye flour, honey for sweetness, vanilla and plenty of dark chocolate. Makes fabulous toast, even better french toast – $5\/loaf.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dried Cherries and Pecans –<\/strong> also made with a levain that is mixed the night before final mixing of the dough using a sourdough starter. The final dough is made with the levain, bread flour and fresh milled whole wheat and then loaded up with dried cherries and toasted pecans. A nice rustic loaf that goes well with meats and cheese –$5\/loaf<\/em><\/p>\n

and pastry this week…<\/em><\/p>\n

Chocolate Babka Rolls –<\/strong> A sweet pastry dough full of eggs, butter and sugar, rolled and spread with a chocolate filling, rolled up and cut into individual rolls that are placed in baking forms for baking and then brushed with sugar syrup after baking. I’ve heard some people say they hide these to keep them all to themselves. – 2\/$5<\/p>\n

Island Bakery has developed a rotation cycle of several dozen breads and pastries. Each Sunday the Bakery emails the week\u2019s bread offering to the mailing list. Orders received before 5 pm Tuesday (and not already claimed) will be available for pickup at the wine shop Friday from 4:00 \u2013 5:30 pm.\u00a0 Contact us<\/a> at least two weeks before your visit to get on the bread list .<\/em><\/p>\n

Economics of the Heart: Underground Discussions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A lot of us believe that the emerging American civil war is the culmination of decades of deliberate lies from right-wing newspapers, radio, internet, and TV (is there still “tv?”)<\/em> programming with the single goal of making millions of people believe wholeheartedly in a fake reality. While we can probably trust our local media about local events, our new federal “government” has now abandoned both law and conscience in its apparent mission to create as much pain for as many people as it can. (see last week’s post about the Red Meanies<\/a>).<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One natural outcome of that recent history is that a lot of mainstream media has lost our trust. At the same time, a lot of talented writers and activists have moved their regular columns into backrooms on the web where they get subscribers interested enough in their ideas to pay a modest subscription fee. We are pretty new at this, but here are a few that are consistently informative and thought-provoking as we gear up to protect our democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n
