Emerald Green Jealousy!

So Gerald Weisl of Weimax Wines and Spirits responded to my blog post about Bagna Cauda in California saying that actually the guy that bakes the bread for the annual dinner is NOT a professional baker. This is just a hobby of his. Now I am intensely, emerald greenly jealous! And his wife who grows the vast array of vegetables is not a farmer but simply as talented an amateur gardener as her husband is a baker. I don't know what to say. One day I want to grow up to be like them. Gerald also gave me a link to a San Francisco Gate article written about the whole gang and their annual bagna fest. Here's a clarification of their mega, industrial sized bagna cauda recipe.
