Baguette for an ill colleague

        I have not made baguettes for a while, especially since I have Celiac disease, I can't eat the bread I like to bake. However, I have a sick colleague at work - lung cancer, stage 4 and she has 5 months to live. When she first was diagnosed - pancreatic stage 1 (which led to the discovery of other cancers) - and I made her some bread because I really didn't know what else to do.
        I have made her my buttermilk honey bread (always a hit) a basic white bread from Amy's Bread book, and maple oatmeal honey bread from King Author's Flour Baking companion. But I have not made her baguettes yet, so that was Martin Luther King's project.

According to my daughters, the baguettes tasted great. I know she will appreciate hers.

If I think of another type of bread I have not made for her, I will make it and write about it here.

Peace and love to everyone.
