It seems like a good reason to leave town. I have read one of the Camilleri books, The Terracotta Dog, I think. As Roger Cohen said recently in the NYT:"Italy idles in the belief that life is circular and objectives an illusory distraction from pleasure." I enjoy idling myself. I found the Slater book in the wonderful Nicholas Hoare bookstore - I was already a fan and frequent user of his The 30-Minute Cook.scribblinginTOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087793508480127030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167807229828552092.post-84534678198253253282010-03-24T00:56:59.012-04:002010-03-24T00:56:59.012-04:00I am in San Jose where the bagels seem to be manuf...I am in San Jose where the bagels seem to be manufactured by the nice people who bring you wonder bread.

How did you acquire the book about english food?AFib Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157020784490362704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167807229828552092.post-39248368552745053552010-03-22T23:14:41.603-04:002010-03-22T23:14:41.603-04:00Ah...excellent recommendations that I will pass al...Ah...excellent recommendations that I will pass along to the bakers in my life.

Sounds like a ton of work that could be spent on pastries (pretty much impossible to get truly decent ones here in Toronto).Glen Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343517452512258227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167807229828552092.post-64731442506043417682010-03-22T16:54:44.322-04:002010-03-22T16:54:44.322-04:00I now have an inexplicable craving for fresh bagel...I now have an inexplicable craving for fresh bagels.
