Breadness Buzz - My Fake Birthday, Important Thanksgiving Information...

NOTE: If this is your first Breadness Buzz, or you've been part of our tribe but missed earlier posts, visit the Breadness Buzz Archive here and catch up on some Breaducation written especially for you. It's a great way to be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

My Fake Birthday...

Yeah. That's me. This was one of the photos my mom used for the purpose of getting all 6 of us kids auditions for TV and film parts. Besides getting cast as extras (and even bit parts), all 6 of us kids were cast to play school kids in an episode of "The Fugitive"!

Speaking of school... that's where the title of this post comes in. The first 7 years of my life were spent in Burbank. We lived right across the street from Thomas Jefferson Elementary School where I attended kindergarten and 1st grade.

At the time, Burbank schools were full-year schools, meaning that, if you were born after November 30th, you couldn't enroll until the following year.

My mom didn't want me to be a year behind in school so she forged my birth certificate to show November 18th, and I was told that was my birthday. I had my birthday parties on November 18th, and when I was older, read the horoscope for Scorpio with some interest.

One day around November 18th, 1967, mom said, "I've got something to tell you I haven't told you before." Me, ever the jokester said, "I knew you've been holding out on me!" (I had no clue what she was keeping secret.)

She said, "Your birthday is not November 18th." Wow. I didn't see that coming...

Then she told me that my REAL birthday was December 18th.

Great... I went from having real parties and real presents for my birthday in November, to having been sucked into the vortex of Hanukkah and Christmas, with multi-purpose parties and combination gifts. Ugh....

Having shifted from Scorpio to Sagittarius hasn't changed me much. But every year I get to share this story! And I can have a fake birthday party if I choose, and invite my REAL friends!

And that's something to celebrate! 😄

Thanksgiving: Important Information...

As much as we'd love to take time off for the holidays, the thought of being able to provide our award-winning breads and complementary items to make YOUR gathering even more special takes precedence!

So do take advantage of our dedication and place your order for pickup this weekend, or next Wednesday (yes, we ARE open next Wednesday!) If you'd like your items shipped within southern California, we need your order by today (Thursday) for UPS ground delivery on Friday. If you live within our DoorDash delivery area, you can order any day we are open for delivery within an hour.

ARTISAN SOURDOUGH STUFFING MADE WITH BREADNESS!

Holiday Meal Shopping List Suggestions:

Our signature Artisan Sourdough Breads in various shapes and sizes.

Our XL Country Sourdough Batards, created for chefs and restaurants earlier this year, are now available for your table. Twice the size of our standard sourdough batard, this 14" loaf will satisfy all the bread lovers at Thanksgiving dinner, as well as all the sandwiches that will be made over the holiday weekend.

This is a made-to-order item so please place your order a week in advance so we can have these ready for you to pick up (or ship to your home). Let us know if you'd like your XL loaf sliced or not. (We may have a few of these XL loaves in stock this weekend and next Wednesday so do ask us if you're interested.)

Our Sourdough Slider Buns/Rolls are another option for personalized plating. These micro-loaves are quite substantial. They come 4 to a bag and can be sliced in half to serve 8 guests. (Limited quantities available. Order early...)

Our artisan Sourdough Stuffing Loaves make the Best Stuffing Ever following this easy recipe.

Raw Farm Butters (Cultured Unsalted and Lightly Salted) and Nutiva Vegan Butter Spread for our breads and your potato dishes.

Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars for salad dressing or sourdough dipping.

Artisan Sourdough Crisps and Tapenades for the Charcuterie Tray.

Note: For pickup on the day before Thanksgiving (Wednesday the 26th), all loaves will be too fresh from the oven to slice but can be sliced at your table or in your kitchen on Thanksgiving Day. Alternatively, we may have presliced, frozen loaves available that can be thawed/rehydrated Thanksgiving morning.
