preparing for class
i am having another baking session this sunday and so two days before the said class i have to get everything cleaned up, ingredients replacing old stocks, making a checklist of what is not there etc., i am going to miss this if i plans of leaving for new york this summer pushes through. every month you prepare for a hands on class like this, the tension, the drama during class, the anticipation of what kind of people would be coming in, not to mention what happens if it rains during class.
not that we are under the sky doing the session, the temperature affects the rising of the dough so when it gets cold, the dough sleeps while we eagerly wait to load them inside the oven.
anyway, i cooked some ube haleya "purple yam" a sweet delicacy of the tagalogs, and used coconut milk instead of evaporated or fresh milk. why not? we have 7 hectares of coconut, love your own right? besides the flavor of the coconut milk is fresh and pure, evaporated milk tastes synthetic to me. ooops. coming from someone who tries to avoid anything processed, coconut milk is a better choice.
i think i will show my students how to put the sweet filling inside one of the sweet yeast dough we will make in class. i am going to miss the session, the excitement i get when the students call me to thank me after our class, the way they describe the breads we make in class while they eat them!!!
well, if that happens, then it is time to move on. i cannot get stuck here all my life, maybe there is something out there in new york for me, who knows, only He can tell. if it is Hashem's will that i go, i will go.
