#003 Feb. 17, '08 Reinhart on spirituality behind breadbaking, new wine column from snow country, busiest bread site ever

Shownotes: Podcast #003, Feb. 17, 2008.  
It's been a while, but I hope you'll find it was worth the wait.  In this third podcast, we feature bread book author Peter Reinhart talking about the experiences in his life that form a foundation for his professional life as teacher.   We also catch a quick chat with Bill Ward about his wine column and blog, Liquid Assets in the Minneapolis (MN) Star Tribune.  At a time when most newspapers are making dramatic cuts, Bill was able to point his editors to the growing local interest in wines produced close to home.  You'll also hear from Floyd Mann, developer and webmaster of an absolutely terrific website called The Fresh Loaf.  If you love artisan breads, you'll go nuts for this site because it was especially designed for home bakers and enthusiasts who enthusiastically (obsessively?) strive for that perfect baguette, crisp rustic boule, toothsome focaccia, and can talk endlessly about the vagaries of sourdough.  
You get the picture.
And we end the podcast with a treat - a cut from a local singer, poet and rapper - Dessa

Next up--Beyond cheese.  What local cheesemakers are doing to diversity their income streams right down on the farm.
 
Let me hear from you!  What do you think the Farm Bill - really America's Food Bill - will mean to the future of your locally grown organic foods?  Is there a favorite grower or processor you'd like featured on an upcoming 'cast.  Drop me a line.

Till then, eat well. Eat thoughtfully.
