I hope the future of bread aligns with what football will look like in the future.

Because books.
Based on the symposium they had in May, the future of bread is pretty cool -- everything from farming the perfect acre (poly-crop planting and intercropping), bread as a tool for social transformation (Bread Houses in cities that establish community and provide commerce and skill training), and new microorganisms for better breads.
Next year's in the same theme, but they're inviting proposals to be selected by a committee rather than inviting specific speakers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There are a bunch of online guides to writing an abstract -- here's one. [link]

Thanks, Jesse!

That sounds fascinating, Amy!
It is eerie out. Very dystopic future looking. And breathing. Much coughing, some people are wearing masks. I actually have some to wear when I'm cleaning heavily, maybe I will break them out if the smoke doesn't clear.
The community college where I usually transfer buses is an evacuation center, so I wasn't sure if it would still be a transfer point, so I drove to the mall to catch the Vallejo bus directly, which seems like a good excuse to go see a movie on the way home.

Our wings are not tired.
The pictures look very distressing. So troubling.

The fires are so heartbreaking. I lived in OC and know the areas on fire, and Napa is, well, Napa, os very much attached to there too. Sending lots of~ma, -t. Stay safe!
Amy, in truth I'm not sure I know what "proper abstract format" is, but I teach academic writing and have had many abstracts accepted, and I even teach about food. If you want a spare set of eyes to look at it, I'd be happy to.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The only abstract format I know is for medical articles, which is nowhere near what you need (I assume). Unless you conducted a clinical trial about bread.

Steph's point reminds me, I would look to the cfp or to the website to see if there are any further specifications beyond word length. 300 words is fairly typical for an abstract.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I've submitted abstracts, they've just been summaries of what I was going to talk about. There wasn't any specific format.
