This weekend I went to Zoë’s house for a little pizza party. Erin from Naturally Ella and Alex and Sonja from A Couple Cooks were in town, and so a few of us got together to bake and eat. It was a lovely afternoon, and I never imagined I would meet so many food blogger friends over the years here in Minneapolis. (The Faux Martha and Girl Verses Dough were there, too, pictured after the jump.)
In addition to our lovely get-together, Ms. Zoë made me the prettiest little birthday cake (pictured above) and surprised us with gifts that the kind folks at Emile Henry, Red Star Yeast, and General Mills sent over for us (I’ve been eyeing this bread cloche for years; I can’t believe I got to go home with it). It was so generous.

Sunday, September 7, 2014 at 8:35 pmHow energizing to be share time with such a common interest/profession. I know when I am with like minded people I come away jazzed and inspired. New ideas percolating like crazy.

Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 1:49 pmThese photos are gorgeous, Sarah! This was the best day, really. I can’t wait to do it again! I’m only sad because we were so busy cooking I barely got a chance to catch up with you, I feel! 🙂 PS Why do I look so sad in that picture?

Friday, September 5, 2014 at 12:32 pmThat egg pizza looks amazing! What kind of pizza stone did you use, I’m am looking for a new one as mine just cracked.

Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 12:12 pmZoe had a Baking Steel- and she loves it. The brand name is actually Baking Steel, and it is supposed to heat better than a stone, and it won’t crack like stones tend to do.
