. . . May have ended! As many of you know, I have a slight aversion to making yeast bread. It just doesn’t work. That is, until today. Since I am cooped up in my house writing my thesis, I have taken to a number of (small!) distractions from the 12-14 hour days that I am putting in. I make a big pot of soup every few days that sees me through, and I have now taken my first step into the world of James Beard’s Beard on Bread. There is a definite satisfaction in kneading bread in between writing - it’s almost like I’m kneading my thoughts. Today’s accomplishment? Dark Herb (Rye) bread. It turned out. . . stunningly. Now let’s see if I can repeat it!
P.S. I can’t believe I haven’t created a cooking category for this blog yet. So much of my life is taken up with cooking. I look forward to sharing some more exploits with you.
