Late September Baking

Here is a video of my baking effort late in September. Please excuse the spaciness of my repertoire. Adding to the fact that there were some early customers crawling all over me, I sometimes encounter what I apologetically call “Bakers Brain.” It’s when I’ve baked all night and cannot remember some of the ingredients in my bread. (much less my own name.)

I failed to mention that the opening mushroom schiacciata has Fontina cheese on it as well as thyme, garlic and black truffle oil. The first ladder bread with cilantro, corn and pablano’s also includes some fab chorizo that I made with local King Family Pork. Yum.
                                                              

Love of Eating

In the beginning, we were all just a kid with a cookie.

Right after a nap while his young brain is still fuzzy, he bites into the chewy, crunchy round while sitting on the kitchen counter.

He doesn’t think about the juxtaposition of flavors, or the mouth-feel and textural elements contained within. He doesn’t expound about the cost, cavities, obesity rates or type of flour. He has no comment about what would make this cookie better or how cookies should be cooked or how traditional the recipe was or who makes a better cookie. He only eats, enjoys and has fun.

After all, it’s just a boy after a nap, on a counter, in love with a cookie.
