It's been an exciting week at Rising Creek Bakery !
I was able to go to Sherperdstown and support my friend, chef Mary Ellen Diaz, chef/owner Bea, as she is a finalist for the prestigious James Beard Award. There couldn't be a more deserving human that Mary Ellen and im so proud to call her my friend! If you've never been to her restaurant in Sheperdstown you don't know what you're missing! Her cuisine is the epitome of appalachia and it comes directly from her soul.
To end the week I got to go to JQ Dickinson Salt-Works with Jenny Bardwell to host a salt rising bread class. We had a great turnout and it was so fun to discuss and demonstrate our craft!

Well it was an eventful holiday shipping season....per usual! As of yesterday at 4pm all orders were on their merry way to a table near you. As of 4 pm today I had another 10 orders......most of which I was able to contact to let know that it would not be shipped until after the new year. Thanks as always for supporting our small business and for keeping our appalachian tradition alive....
I talked a customer the other day that gave me a great idea for a new motto......bread so good it stinks!! So here's to the stinkiest bread around! Cheers in the new year and thanks again!

And what a great group of people we surround ourselves with....I had no less than 30 texts and fb messages offering to help with bread this week after our mixer debacle. You guys are the best!

What do you do when you find out 3 hours before bake time on the eve of the single busiest shipping day of the year that the mixer is spewing grease everywhere??? (Yes, I'm certain that's a run on sentence but that's how scattered my brain is right now)
Well, let me tell you what you do.....first, you freak out and maybe shed a tear or two. Second, you try to figure out how to call all 92 people that have orders placed for Christmas that are supposed to ship tomorrow and tell them that the present they bought may not make it before Christmas. Third, you listen to your wife who is telling you that things happen and there's nothing that can be done. And finally the fourth thing.....you channel your inner Pat Cowell Clovis , you roll up your sleeves, and you hand knead over 300 lbs of dough. My biceps may never look the same and I may never be able to lift my arms by Wednesday but 162 loaves is a little bit of a dent into the loaves this little elf needs to bring salt rising holiday cheer.
Please keep your fingers crossed that the mixer is fixed tomorrow or I may be 6 feet under by Wednesday!

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a salt rising guru, Susan Ray Brown (coincidental that her intials are srb...i think not). Susan was the co-founder of Rising Creek Bakery. She was a kind and passionate soul who wanted to spread the love of salt rising bread! She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting her.
