Thanks for sharing! Brings back some fond memories.

Next time..instead of staying home because of having company.... I'm going to go, because of having company!

You're looking good gals!! And the breads...wonderful!

Nancy

What fun!!!! I have been thinking all of you. Teresa has doen a wonderful job organizing it all.

Have fun and stay cool!

Oh how fun!!!!!!!!!!

Hey is that Cathy on the floor? Did you lose a contact? Whatcha doing down there?

I saw Cathy on the floor and thought, "Teresa is cracking the whip a little too hard." LOL! Great Pics!

I swear to g-d we need to put the CF balabustas in charge of running Iraq, that would clear up all their problems in a jiffy!

I am so impressed, thank you for sharing both the written and picture versions of your experience. Bread is one of my most favorite things in the world, although I don't have the patience to make it myself. Maybe I should get some patience! And since fish is one of my second most favorite things, I totally loved the Blue Water Grill pictures! All those bread recipes really have me drooling.

Best wishes for continued yeasty fun and great times in NC!

Yeah!!....I was beginning to think you had all gone to the bahamas and were just pullin' our leg with all this "paney camp" stuff.
Linda C

Oh, yes, I'm green with envy and drooling over those gorgeous loaves and meals.

To respond to the "why is Cathy on the floor". First, you know this group, they aren't going to miss a Kodak moment. "This time" it's not Teresa with the whip, I was retrieving the thermometer that I had dropped. With my sausage fingers, I kept breaking, dropping, squishing everything. This time I dropped the thermometer and it rolled under the oven.

We just returned from a morning at the farmers market. We will post our bounty soon.

Love you all!

LOL at Cathy on the floor!

Great job with all the Kodak moments, looks like a grand time!

Looking forward to hearing more!

Every thing looks fabulous...the bread, the friends and the fun!

Michelle

More photos from today (and we're not done yet, so check back later, same link). We went to the farmer's market and mostly behaved (rolling eyes and whistling).

We gave Cathy and Teresa thank you gifts - not in the picture is a gift certificate we gave Teresa to King Arthur Flour. She was delighted!

We've made focaccia today, and I have to go back because we are starting pizza....our last project of the Camp.

I want to know what you all bought at the farmer's market. Torture would be visiting that place and getting on a plant the next day!
How could you leave all those cheeses and the scuppernogs? Oh my!

Ask Linda and thou shalt receive. Scuppernogs? Yes, we took a picture, 'Enough said'.

Please look at the above linked 'Paney Camp, Saturday' for more pictures (I think, we're tired).

Below is the Saturday night dinner - focaccia and pizza! We used the veggies we bought - sauteed them for toppings - and used the Grabers and a Pinot Grigio salami from Trader Joes (I bought it to share but not eat) in place of pepperoni. Goat cheese too! mmmmm.....

OMG that pizza looks delicious. You can almost taste the "colours".

Ann

It looks wonderful....but I was thinking of scuppernog preserves!
So....what'll you do for an encore?
Linda C

Loved all the pics...you guys sure had a fun time! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic pics! I'm hungry all over again!

Sounds and looks like such a wonderful time (and a lot of work LOL) Thanks for the pics and for keeping us updated!

Cindy

ah teresa--how nice to see your shining face again! and i can't imagine how much work it is to keep that crew "in line"...gotta work on that cathy girl though--still a work in progress there :) first it was jessie's pomegranites which have now been replaced by cathy's eggplants. yep--that's quite the crew! sheshe looks FABULOUS and those aprons are wonderful! nice going, lee and max!

Enjoying the pictures, thanks! and the pizza looks fantastic!

Catching up here..great pics of everyone.

Note to Sherry...I picked up 20 lbs of sour cherries for you this morning on the way back from Traverse. We had to make an airport run...

Nancy

What fun! Great pics....beautiful breads, and you guys look great! Wish I could've traded chasing sugared-up rugrats for Paney Camp.

Nancy - Bless your heart*, Sherry has already left for home, we'll tell her about your gift.

*That's a new Southernism we learned and constantly used from Teresa, Cathy and Karen. It can have two connotations. Watch for more from the newly twanged out Paney Campers.

Well, it's 3 pm on Sunday afternoon and I've finished unloading the car - finally!- and have a minute to sit down with a glass of cold water and some TJ's Chili Lemon Pistachios and catch up with the forum.

We are all tired but happy campers at this point! Sherry and Lori are headed home, Cathy, Karen, Jessy, Lee, and Charlotte are taking a quick trip to Winston Salem to Reynolda Manor, Old Salem, and maybe a stop for a Krispy Kreme. I think every camper took some bread home and the rest we left for our B&B hosts.

What a great time we have had! These forum friends were just wonderful to teach and travel with and generally hangout with. Like Jessy said "the greatest friends you've never met." I think many people feel that way when they attend a Forum get-together. The interest in cooking is what draws us together, but sharing that love of foods and cooking and meeting new friends, traveling to new places is what keeps us coming back here to our Cooking Forum. You've heard this before, but I have to say it again - if you ever get a chance to meet up with CF friends, you should do it....the experience is priceless.

I'll post some of the recipes from our Paney Camp experience in the next few days. Right now I need a Sunday afternoon nap.

Godspeed Campers! I loved every minute shared with all of you and breaking bread together.

Teresa

I just love all the pics and hearing about your adventure.

Teresa how wonderful of you to host such an event and how generous of so many to share the memories and all those special mementos.

Heck we should think about opening a CF Culinary Institute there has been so much sharing of skills and techniques this past year.

Looks like a good time was had by all, thanks for sharing!

these look so fun - and you must have learned so much! Thanks for showing us the pics...

Stacy

What fun you all must be having! Is there a picture that has the names of the people in it so we know who is who? I would appreciate that, the only one I recognized was Jessy! Loved the crocs and aprons! :o)

I'm so glad y'all had this wonderful opportunity! What fun! Thanks for sharing the stories and pictures.

Sally

Thanks for sharing you fun with us-- great pictures .

What a busy camp - you accomplished a great deal! The breads look wonderful and I'm sure everyone had a great time! Thanks for sharing.....

Well, I made it home to Michigan. Whew. It was an intensive week. Teresa is a fantastic dough master, and the rest of us were all eager to learn. We are so proud of all our breads, and so grateful to Teresa. I now know that I really did not know how to knead, nor did I know when the bread had been kneaded enough. You just have to learn by feel and sight, and Teresa taught us that. My special favorites were the Struan, the country French baguette, the focaccia, and of course the lovely pizza dough. I can(t wait to start doing some serious bread baking now. Thanks Teresa, and thank you all my fellow Paney Campers for a fun and fabulous week!
Sherry

It looks like a FANTASTIC experience!!!

I still don't know what scuppernog means?.

C.

What a great time you ladies had. Cathy, I'm just LOL everytime I think of you sprawled on the floor like that! Nice pals to take that picture! Was it EJ?

I just wanted everyone to know that this was great!!!!! and Teresa was fantastic........now we all have to diet charlotte

LOL, Charlotte! Yep, the diet begins.....I'll think about that tomorrow, Scarlett.

Claire, a scuppernog is a type of wild grape that grows in the south. Folks make wine and jelly out of them. They are not so great for eating fresh...unless you are a kid who picks them while out playing! You take the pulp in your mouth, spit out the outer peel which is pretty awful and bitter, then chew on the pulp and separate the seeds in your mouth and spit them out too. Sounds really appetizing, huh?

I stayed in the city all weekend, not in the plan, but it happened..LOL.... so I'm just now catching up with y'all.

I checked out the pics earlier today at work and it sure tells me y'all had a great time together. Too cool that Lee and Charlotte provided aprons and I know the gift bag from Cathy and all was great too....not to mention other gifts. As much as I love food, carbs for sure, it was great seeing everyone having a good time together. Thanks for sharing Paney Camp with us. I have to tell ya Teresa, that Struan Bread is a family/group fave down here! You sure hosted a GREAT camp!!

Jessy, come on now, you could have stuffed that whip in your bag....I sure hope you didn't get caught up in the delays at LAX that they were talking about on the news this morning.....hope your back home with your boys.

David

Bobby, here is the picture of all of us again.

From left to right, Sherry, Karen, Lori, Lee, Cathy, Charlotte, Teresa and Jessica.

We had the most wonderful time; the classes were terrific, the trips and all our meals were great. Teresa and Cathy did a fantastic job arranging and coordinating everything. I learned a lot about how yeast doughs behave and that I can now make bread with just a few ingredients, a bowl and a wooden spoon. I would never have attempted a bread without a FP or a stand mixer or the bread machine before this week. I'm also looking forward to rereading the instructions for the sourdough starter that Teresa gave all of us.

I was sorry to leave - I wished even more that we hadn't left when our flight out of Dallas was delayed 2 1/2 hours and we got home just before 2:00 AM. But the sleep will even out in a couple of days, it's going to take longer though to make up for all the breads and other wonderful things we ate - I see a lot of salads at our house this week.

Once again, thanks to Teresa and Cathy and to all the campers who made this time so much fun.

Lee

I gained ten lbs. I kid you not. Now I must starve myself just to get back to where I was. I bought two pair of jeans on sale at Coldwater Creek (only $16.99 each)just days before we went to Paney Camp, and guess what? I can't get them on. My bad. Salad & veggies for me for the next two weeks.

LOL, Sherry! Don't you hate when that happens?

Well, I sure wish I could have been there, but the narratives and photos make me feel almost like I was! Thanks for sharing your fun with all of us. And I plan to try every one of those recipes, too! They look scrumptious!

Linda

Did you tease Lee for having green shoes? And does she have red crocs now? Inquiring minds want to know.

;-)

Quote Lee: I can now make bread with just a few ingredients, a bowl and a wooden spoon

Yeah we're all good at hand jobs now

It was a wonderful weekend and I am still on a high!

Jessy, Jessy, I've been trying to tell you all how easy the "hand jobs" were and you just didn't believe me. LOL

That bread looks great though, and makes me think I need to retry that sourdough starter, now that it's plenty warm. Plus, I don't even LIKE pizza, but that one looks really, really good.

Nice butt, Cathy.

Annie

What, no pictures or tutorials, EJ?
And no, I wouldn't know ...cough...anything about...cough cough...choke [be right back; I need a drink of water]... hand jobs.

Great looking breads and happy faces.

Sol

Hello everyone! I walked in the door last night at 11:00 p.m. after the flight from hell. I white knuckled it all the way home on the plane. Usually turbulence doesn't bother me.

Charles didn't wake me this morning with his usual rustlings, so, I slept in and I'm well rested. That dough master named Teresa really cracked the whip and had me worn out by the time I got home ;-). I had such a good time and was sorry to see the get together end :-(

Everyone at Paney Camp was a joy to be around and I highly recommend the get togethers. Looking forward to PFPP in Novemeber.

When I got home last night I had a box from a CF friend on the kitchen island. OMG, I couldn't believe it! I'll start a thread as soon as I can. omg, omg, omg!

Maggie is here and we are catching up on our time we spend together every week so I need to keep this short.

I will be back tomorrow with a few more pictures. I'm running short on time today.

Oh it sounds like a wonderfully delicious 'camp'. Since Mr. R. is no longer (at this point in time...) eating white bread OR homemade wheat bread - just wonderbready 7grain (as if that had any nutrients - bah humbug) it's probably just as well that I wasn't there.

But I like to bake bread!!! Come cool weather, I expect to start again so ...any tutorials to share???? Or will there be lessons by the new experts in TN??? Maureen

Wonder what these two are reading on the forum? Looks to me like they were playing hookey (sp?) from class! tsk..tsk..

Jessy, left and Karen, right
(bread rising center front)

Thanks Lee for posting the labeled picture :o) Nice to put names with faces. I'm so glad that everyone had so much fun! All this talk about hand jobs is going to make me uhm er, hungry for bread :o)

I really can't believe you all didn't pin Lee down and spray paint her shoes....or at least paint them with Jessie's red nail polish!
Linda C....who "did it by hand" before she got too old to do 8 at a time...and hasn't forgotten the skill, but isn't strong enough for that anymore.....but 2 is still within my grasp...
