    Loved this presentation.
    Yes it’s always a problem inviting people over and not being relaxed enough to sit and enjoy with them.
    Really love your content.
    Enjoy “ Basic Mitch “ and “ Babe what do you want for lunch ?”
    At 60 yrs , I’m trying to slow down a bit and reignite the passion I had for cooking as a young man.
    I find you inspiring and want to try my hand at croissants and other pastries as well as baguettes and cold fermented pizza. Doughs.
    Cooking can be so therapeutic to the soul.
    Would like to hear/ learn more about how you got to where you are in life.
    I always find that stuff interesting. The journey !!

    Get the scraper situation sorted and I’ll buy one.
