It's a great way to meet like-minded artisan sourdough aficionados and be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

Starlight Bowl "On Tour"

THE JULY 4th POST-CONCERT DRONE SHOW WAS QUITE SPECTACULAR!

July 4th was different this year. With the Starlight Bowl closed this summer due to damage from the high winds in January, City of Burbank made the decision to offer a series of free concerts at various locations, continuing until September.

The July 4th kickoff concert was held at McCambridge Park, just up the street from Sprouts Farmers Market on San Fernando Road in Burbank. It featured The Ultimate Rock Band as the opening act, doing a bang-up job of performing rock classics by Rush, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Heart and many other iconic bands.

This was followed by Bruno and the Hooligans, a tight and funky Bruno Mars tribute ensemble that was nonstop entertainment. They played until after sundown, then it was time to relocate to the ball field to get a clear view of the Burbank hills where the evening's Drone Show would elevate from the Starlight Bowl parking lot about a half mile away.

Drone Light Shows are the happening aerial art form this year and it was amazing to see how this technology could be deployed in such an aesthetic manner. It may not have the boom and flash of a traditional fireworks show, but there's no way to create all of the static and moving images we saw using traditional fireworks. Also, there's no fire danger and no pollution produced! Best of all, you can't beat the price: FREE!

Next up is a sing-along screening of Encanto on July 19th at Johnny Carson Park!

Brandeis Breadness...

CHEF RANDALL HELD A PRIVATE WORKSHOP FOR MEMBERS OF THE BRANDEIS ALUM GROUP

One of our customers is a member of a group of women alumni from Brandeis University in the Boston area. She thought a Breadness workshop might be a good idea for the group. And so it came to pass on Wednesday, July 2nd.

There were about 20 ladies present requiring some sections of the bread-making process be split into 2 groups of ten each. During the 2 hours, we covered the 3-day process used to make our artisan breads. Clean ingredients and our water filtration were also discussed. Of course, the best part of these workshops is watching bread come out of the oven!

If you are part of an adult group, or are involved with school and youth activities and would like to schedule a private workshop, contact me by replying to this e-mail and we can move forward from there. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion of this art and craft, and am glad to pass it on to others...

Keeping Cool...

Summer's heat and humidity are in full swing so staying hydrated is key to enjoying the summer without passing out! That's where our popular Chocolate Chill comes in to play. Plant-based and sugar-free, my take on "chocolate milk" contains healthy polyphenols and electrolytes needed to replenish the liquids and minerals lost during these hot times in the Valley!
