The wonderful smell of bread

Ciao Everyone

This day started out a little slow in that I spent the evening throwing up (sorry for the blunt statement). Not sure what happened, but it has been a slow day.

We baked most of the day in preparation for the Siene farmer's market. It is mostly a local's market and Viola has a major bread stand. We baked two kinds of bread, a sweet bagel type cookie that has olive oil and lots of wine, and muffins. The lab ( room where we produce the bread) was filled with wonderful smells. I have a real advantage in that my bedroom is attached. Viola and Cinzia were very patient with me. They even dd not get upset when I slammed the bread down (not good). Most of the breads Viola makes are very crusty. Italians like very HARD bread.

We are very concerned that it may rain tomorrow and we will not sell as much.

Siena is 30 minutes away, so we will be leaving at around 7am. We may stop at the hot springs on the way back.

Buona Notte
