What is the typical composition of the group (male vs female; age breakdown)?
We are a mixed group of people (mixed by age and gender). A quick scan over my contact list (as of June 1, 2004) shows 31 men and 34 women. (I don’t know how many of them have attended meetings.) People of all ages are members. Many are older adults, and a fair portion are seniors. We tend to be the people who have time to bake, or who feel that baking is important enough to make time. The main requirement for membership is that you be passionate about bread. A lot of my cooking has been developing ways to deal with left-over bread (such as strata) and extra sourdough starter (waffles and crepes are a couple of good ways that I’ve found).
