Hello everyone,

I'm from Boston, MA (Actually Brookline, but it's practically in Boston). I started baking rather amateurish, slightly experimental loaves at home last fall after coming across an old copy of "Beard on Bread" lying around my house. Now I'm baking all the bread I eat, and I've developed a particular taste for entirely-whole-grain recipes. I've been doing lots of reading on bread baking and techniques in an effort to improve my creations; I came across this site a while ago, and while I'm still intimidated by the arcana of baking artisan bread, I think I'm beginning to learn a few things. I just recently succeeded in getting a healthy sourdough starter going after several attempts. Anyways, just though I'd introduce myself, and I hope to learn more and keep making better bread!
