Hey yall,
There are a bunch of ladies on twitter who like to have live bake-alongs. I thought we should go ahead and give everyone an opportunity to broadcast their twitter name. No pressure if you like your tweets private and what not.
TWD is @TuesdaysWDorie, and I am @superslush. I will let Jules add hers in comments if she wants to share. ;)
Bake on!
We have just over 300 blogs represented! There are ten bakers named Jennifer. Four of our bakers are men. California is the most represented state with 53 bakers. Our first recipe posts next week!
So now we are up to 258 blogs with about 270 bakers. We’re still missing folks from nine states (DE, KS, MI, MT, NE, NM, ND, WV, and WY). Countries with bakers outside the US include Australia, Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Canada, Philippines, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Germany, England, Austria, and India! Our youngest baker (that I know of) is nine. Our first recipe posts in two weeks!
201 bakers in our group so far! Actually, 201 blogs and about 210 bakers. So exciting! If you didn’t catch Dorie on NPR yesterday, here is a link to her interview. She was amazing!

Lots of questions in the “join-up” e-mails. How about asking them here as well? I know someone else out there has the same question!
What do we need to know to make excellent bread? What do you need to know to help you out?
We’ve hit our first hundred bloggers for our new book! We cover 31 states (C’mon DE, FL, HI, IA, KS, MI, MO, MS, MT, NE, NH, NM, ND, OH, OR, SD, UT, WV, WY where are you?), 11 countries, 6 (SIX!) continents (I don’t think that’s going to change unless we get a blogger from Antarctica) and myriad ages and blog experiences. So excited!
Just got an e-mail from Dorie letting us know that she was bumped from the radio show today to next Tuesday. Seems that Robert Redford was available. I can’t figure out why they’d rather talk to him. ;-)
So next week – same bat time, same bat channel. It gives us more time to spread the word!
The first month of Baking with Julia is here! We have been looking forward to the start of the new book since fall, and here we go. I hope you like the recipes we have picked for the first month.
February 7, 2012- White Loaves, on pages 81-82. (Hosted by Laurie and Jules)
February 21, 2012- Chocolate Truffle Tartlets, on pages 382-383. (Hosted by Steph, Spike, Jaime and Jessica)
From here on out, recipes will be picked by nominations and lottery for hosts. Everyone will have a chance to host that way. We will try to choose one simple and more difficult recipe per month. Look out for a recipe nomination post at the beginning on February.
We welcome you to the 2nd round of Tuesdays with Dorie!
This go round, we will be tackling Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan. If you think you’d like to bake along with us, please check out The Rules page. If you can agree to our small list of guidelines, you are ready to go.
Please send us the following information to tuesdayswithdorie AT gmail.com
Once we receive your information, you are ready to go. Check the Recipe Schedule page and get started! We will be adding all members to The Bakers page. We will only be adding members to this page once a month, so please be patient if your name does not immediately appear.
We hope that you will join on us on what will be a very tasty adventure!
Bake on!
Laurie and Jules
