Yearly Archives: 2005I spent the last few months traveling from London to Beijing. Here is a taste of one place we spent time. Follow the links to read about others. September 20th- 22nd, 2005 After a fantastic time on the Isle of Bute we traveled to Yorkshire, England. While there we visited a great bakery, thanks to […] show 4 comments It alarms me to admit, but the cheese and marmite bread sounds rather appealing! Marmite is a staple in my parents’ household, and every one in a while I will “try” it again, but still have not acquired the taste. However, the look and texture of that bread may make me a convert! Gemma!! Wow! everything looks so beautiful and the yummy food is everywhere!!!! have a fabolous time—and please keep us posted :) Hugs from rainy Panama! Tara, it was so good! I too was a tepid Marmite fan before this bread. Since John and I have left Chicago and our garden will look substantially different when we return in February, I wanted to publicly thank it for turning it’s back on the drought and producing tasty things. Also, thanks to Ben Spicer for sharing his plot with John and I. I learned a lot about gardening […] show 3 comments hmmm, paris, you lucky lucky thing…can’t wait to read all about your food adventures! i ate your tomatoes! thank you for your gardening. we had such great adventures bbqing this summer… and i certainly got to eat the fruits of your labor!

It was absolutely gorgeous and we had a […] show 6 comments How very romantic, peaking through a bakery at night like that! It sounds absolutely heavenly at the end of some drinking, and Colin seems a doll. It was pretty magical Tara. There is nothing like fresh hot bread, especially at unexpected times on cold blustery Scottish isles. Colin was very sweet for letting us intrude on his work and showing me around (and for making those tasty snack, of course!) Hi Gemma – you really seem to be enjoying your Eurotour! And you’ve been to places in Scotland that I haven’t visited yet despite of living here for 6 years;( Hi Pille, Hi there, wow! That’s the bakery my dad owned up until last year, and Colin took it over! We also moved premises and took over Aulds in 2005 too, I’m glad you had a great time and Electric Bakery helped make your time there so memorable. I’m from bute and I miss it but it touches me to see so many nice things said about something that means so much to me and I have grown up with. Hi there, wow!

I’ll admit, my heart lies with the former, but I would never scorn the sweet treats of the latter. I’ve been to that shop a few times when in London, just to drool at their display!!! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your UK adventure! Hi Tara, it was all delicious. We were snacking in style compared to the other passengers on our busride to Glasgow a few weeks back. Last night my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary in London. On our way home we impulsively stopped off at Paul’s and bought the most delicious hot chocolate ever. Really thick and rich. We also bought some palmiers to dunk into too. Now that has got to be the most indulgent combination ever! Magnificent! Hi Patisserie Lover, |

mindy - mmmmmmm.
michele - Hi Gemma, sounds like a lovely visit, and I love the picture of the sheep, they are quite adorable. The feast looks fantastic and I cant help but wonder if that is a slice of Chris’ famous olive bread on the last picture. It looks yummy. You two are definitely feasting well on this trip of yours.
I hope you enjoy Belgium!
J - hi gemma, what gorgeous pictures…sounds like you had a really lovely time…i really like the looks of all that bread…
gemma - Indeed Mindy, I miss you.
That is indeed the olive bread Michele, so good! Belgium was amazing, thanks for the well-wishes. I hope you are well too.
J, it was pretty superb! There is something so amazing to me about living in a place where nearly everything is not only locally produced, but also of amazing quality.
John - Tom and Chris look suspiciously like sheep.
