I use a Pampered Chef stoneware bowl so it hasn't ever stuck to the sides...does using the paper do something different? Do you put it on the paper for the final rising? I always have trouble getting it off the towel and into the hot bowl. I love the idea of community dinners...As usual you are ahead of the trends..."Cooking Light" Jan/Feb 08 issue has the story of "Dinner Day" the State of Pennsylvania official holiday held the second Saturday in January being named "Invite a Neighbor to Dinner Day" It became an official holiday in 2002.

I used it for the 40+ dozen cookies I made at Christmas. I'm coveting your lovely Martha Dutch oven. Think I'd better start saving my pennies for one. I LOVE my cookie scoop.

I bet your friends loved it, too. Food always tastes better if I don't have to cook it myself. (Actually, I don't mind the cooking as much as the CLEANING!) Sounds delish!

We all bring ingredients and cook together- rubbing elbows in a small kitchen and drinking wine has to be my favorite thing. Always makes for great conversation! I'll be in AZ visiting friends and family the last week of january- if you have an open seat for your next community meal...i'd love to hitch a ride with Adam and come! Let me know! Good stuff!

Your menu is great and the comments about various components are very helpful. The two cooking magazines are also in my little repertoire and make for some fun experimenting.
