On My Way
This week wasn't quite as brutal as I thought it would be. I guess my interest and excitement for baking is neutralizing my exhaustedness. The funny thing is I'll get home from class, get ready for bed and then once in bed I have a hard time falling asleep. I've already learned from past experiences that if I feel stressed about sleep I won't fall asleep. So I keep relaxed and try to find a comfortable position until sleep finally wraps around me.
I've definitely enjoyed making bread this week. I didn't think I'd be that interested in bread, but it's a lot of fun. And nothing compares to the smell of freshly baked bread.
Tuesday we made some pre-ferments and practiced our molding techniques. Wednesday we baked two kinds of bread. My pan bread actually didn't turn out looking quite as it should because molding bread is harder than I thought lol. We didn't end up finishing until around 10:45pm, our teacher stressed the importance of time management and we could all see why it was important as we were all exhausted at that point and just wanted to go home. Last night was probably my favourite class so far, if only because everything I did turned out great! :D
M's been trying to horde the end products, but I'm doing my best to spread the bread love. Hopefully he'll get tired of the bread by next week. :P
