reminder: wintry bake day dec 20th!

[Tim Stallmann]

Hi everyone -- just a reminder about the bake day this monday. please let us
know soon if you'd like bread. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow day today!

--

Hey y’all,

We have been busy baking for our subscription and doing our study sessions.
 But, for the winter holidays, we wanted to give everyone the chance to get
some bread!  We will be doing a special bake-day next Monday, December 20th!

Here’s how it works:

   * Check out the items that we are baking
   * If you want something, let us know by this Saturday, 12/18
   * Come pick up your items next Monday evening!

We will be baking (everything's vegan except the cookies, we use all organic
flours from Lindley Mills, and other organic ingredients when we can):

   * Christmas Bread – Tim’s family recipe is a sweet yeasted bread with
citron, raisins and dried cranberries. This bread likes being made into
toast on frosty mornings, and prefers being eaten by the fire with a cup of
hot tea and some butter or marmalade. On the weekends, it likes ice skating
and baking cookies.
   * Dinner Roll Flowers – Mixed white and wheat, about 9 rolls per order.
These rolls are a peppy, bouncy bunch that will liven up your dinners
whether they're a special gathering or not. When not being baked, they like
studying botany, pressing flowers and practicing their rising technique.
   * Oatmeal Artisan Bread – A hearty whole-grain loaf but still soft and
light in texture. This bread likes going on long hikes in the woods,
especially with some cheese or nutritional yeast.
   * Carrot Raisin Muffins – by the half-dozen. Wherever they go, these
muffins bring the party, with their rock star raisin-studded outfits. They
secretly have a quiet side, though, and love nothing more than curling up
with a good book and some vegan hot cocoa.
   *Backyard Oatmeal Pecan Cookies by Manju – Made with eggs from Manju's
chickens and pecans from the backyard of her house, these chewy cookies come
in a pair. Born and raised in Durham, they'd love to spend an afternoon
telling stories about the way things used to be and plotting the future.

***Pick-ups:

We will be here to joyfully greet you, Monday 12/20 night from 5-7 PM.  If
you are not able to come during that time, we'll pack your order and put it
out on the porch in a big food-service cabinet until Tuesday night.  You can
pick it up there through Tuesday night.  If you need to make different
arrangements, talk to us!

***Money:

Our subscription has been going great, and this season we have not been able
to meet the need that we listed for bakers’ rent money.  So, we wanted to
open up this opportunity for non-subscribers both to get bread and to help
meet the needs of the bakery.  We operate the subscriptions on an
anti-exchange, sliding scale model where we ask the subscribers to
collectively meet the needs of the bakery for the season.  This works well
because we know what the needs for the season will be.  For this bake day,
we don’t know how many people will sign up – so we don’t know what the
resources that the whole day will take.  So, we have put an “average cost”
by each item.  This cost is estimated based on a guess of the total we
expect to be baking, divided by the number of items – including money for
ingredients, overhead, and for the bakers.  We are telling you this number
rather than listing a sliding scale because, As Felice Yeskel says in her
article about cost-sharing, “Many times folks in the lower end of the class
spectrum cannot afford the bottom of the sliding scale and folks on the
upper end of the spectrum could well afford much higher than the top end.”
We're also giving you the raw ingredients cost for each item -- not
including labor time, equipment overhed, etc. As always, we welcome you eat
bread and put in whatever money and other resources you can.  Checks can be
made to Bread Uprising.  (We welcome other resources you may want to
contribute – right now we are in a position where what we most need is some
money.)
