Midday on a Tuesday and Heather Zikas was cleaning up, among other chores, and also milling some flour, which is a perfectly normal thing to do at the Zikas household in Lake Tahoe.
Zikas is the founder and owner of a bakery service called Tahoe Bread Company. She used to bake sourdough bread in her kitchen oven. She said could make about three loaves at a time, but that wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with demand as word spread about her bread. So about a year ago, just before the pandemic interrupted everything and sent us all home, Zikas, her husband and her father converted half of their garage into a bakery. She got a bigger oven, a cottage bakery license, and a mill. Just in time.

Almost everyone loves a good baking show, even if one canât particularly bake well.
The Great British Bake Off in particular is one of those shows that will suck you in and make you watch entire seasons in one sitting, all while inspiring dreams of making an edible sensation similar to those cooked up on the series (which goes by
The Great British Baking Show in the U.S.).
Star Wars vet Daisy Ridley is one of several big celebs who will appear in the upcoming season, and she is already starting to ooze with enthusiasm for it.
