Feb. 23, 2010 – These are halcyon days for Ontario's Steel City. It didn't become the new home of the Phoenix Coyotes after Jim Balsillie's failed bid last year to buy and move the troubled NHL franchise there, but Hamilton, Ont., is in the spotlight thanks to Canada Bread and Woody Harrelson's new film, "Defendor."

 Jan. 27, 2010 – I don’t know about you, but now that this
unusual January thaw seems to be over, it’s back to the winter blahs for me. I
suppose I need to appreciate winter more.
If you’re stuck in a rut, experiencing cabin fever, or just
want to drum up a little more business between now and spring, why not try
adding the Polish delicacy known as paczki (pronounced “poonch-key,”
“pooch-key” or “punch-key,” depending on whom you ask) to your display case. In
going through back issues to gather information for our upcoming 70th anniversary issue, I came across quite a bit of marketing material from the
mid-1990s that focused on paczkis as a way for bakers to boost their profits
during the run-up to Lent.

Jan. 6, 2010 – It's a new year. For the past few days I've still been typing "2009," so perhaps a blog post about the calendar rolling over will get it through my head that the aughts, or naughties, or zeroes – or whatever they're called – are officially in the rear-view mirror. Usually, I'm the type of person to look ahead, not back, but when a decade comes to an end it's hard not to take a moment to ponder what it all meant.

Nov. 26, 2009 – Old habits die hard. With today being American Thanksgiving, I feel compelled to take a timeout and think about things for which I'm thankful. No. 1 on the list is friends and family, of course; it's tough to be away from them at this time of the year. But I'm also thankful for the warm welcome I've received here in Canada and for the way the baking industry has been so eager to help me continue the excellent service of Bakers Journal.

Nov. 16, 2009 – I've been taking a trip down memory lane today, looking through old photos and back issues of Bakers Journal in preparation for our 70th anniversary issue in March 2010. Seventy years might not have the luster of 100, 75, or even 50, but it's nonetheless a pretty impressive milestone. And it couldn't have happened without you, the baking industry of Canada.
That's why we're asking for your help.

Nov. 11, 2009 – It's crunch time here at Bakers Journal as we wrap up our December issue and look ahead to our combined January/February issue and beyond. But amid all the hustle and bustle of the nascent holiday season, I wanted to pause for a moment to thank and pay tribute to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for the sake of our freedom.
