Help! Gluten has taken over my life!
Okay, I am _not_ going to lose weight during this class if this keeps up. Even after refusing most of the bread offered, I came home with:
4 pretzels
1 mini-pannetone
4 baguettes
4 loaves ciabatta bread
1/3 sheet pan of focaccia
and 3 Stollen, two with the traditional almond paste centers and one without. These, of course, will be appearing Christmas Eve at a certain family shindig! :)
All made yesterday. Some of my classmates were leaving with full-size, industrial-strength garbage bags literally filled to the top with bread.
12-hours of class; my foot, the reconstructed one, is _killing_ me today. I thought I'd have to break out the crutches, but I think it's a little better now. Had to hobble around like mad today. Gave one ciabatta to my therapist.
Despite the pace yesterday, I'm really enjoying my class. Oddly, I seem to be tanking on the academics so far (quizzes and so forth) and acing the production. This is basically the reverse of my usual trend.
Hope to see a bunch of you in the next week or so. The gifts I ordered on line are trickling in.
