Baking Day Supports Curt Phillips for TAFF

Baking Day

Today I'm making bread out of the third and final ball of last weekend's dough. The first loaf went into the toast you see there. Close to the first time I've made toast out of home made bread -- usually such a rarity it's gone before it's cold, or else it's scones, which don't toast well. The middle ball went into a Chicago-style pan pizza (another first) mid-week. BJs' dough is sweeter, but other than that, mine was a pretty fair approximation of West Coast immitation-Chicago-style pizza. Anyway, it was noms and we ate the whole thing.

I'm also playing with a sort of intermediate version of scrambled eggs -- not as much ever-lovin' fuss as French-style scrambled eggs, these were, but still similarly rich and silky. So that's a win.

And even as I type this, the "Curt Phillips for TAFF" anthology zine should be done and out in the world, or reasonably soon thereafter. Get yours today, and Vote for Curt!

Thanks for the reminder; I have now voted. Those are very fine-looking loaves.

I remember Curt's contributions to the Timebinders list, and I'd like to support him for TAFF. Can you provide me with a pointer to the relevant information? (I have received TAFF materials in the mail in the past, but apparently not for the current race. Or it arrived and departed unnoticed).

http://taff.org.uk/ has all the details.

And just FYI, I have now tested the PayPal voting and it works fine -- the main thing is you have to realize that you wait until the screen just before you pay and use the "Add a note to the Seller" button to add your voting information, and fan reference in case you are not known to the US administrator who is currently Jacq Monahan.
