With that, since this is a food blog I should talk about food. So I have been making a ton of bread lately. I received a book from my awesome guardian force called "Tartine Bread." I don't know why I started this crazy baking thing but I figured that if I'm gonna be home all day then might as well do something productive.
So since I've been baking bread we've only bought about 2-3 packages of sliced bread since I've been here. I've heard from some readers online say, while I was looking for recipes, tell "Why bake bread, it will only cost you $2 or so and it won't take your hours or days to make." I think I should just say, once you make your first good loaf then you'll know. You can buy fresh made bread anywhere, but to make something with your hands gives you a sense of accomplishment, or for me it does. Never the less the whole process is like a dream for a cook like me. The aroma you get from your oven that wafts the whole house. Something that can't be replicated from candles or flavored Airwick Plug-ins. The warmth of the house gets during the winter. Things that I can't tell you why you would love it or would want to try it, but I do. Again I don't have a camera to show you how to make the bread I do but once I get a job that will be the first thing I do to get this blog really rolling. I do have some pictures of already baked bread so that will have to do for now.
Enjoy!
