| Domestication |
For any of you who know me, I love to be domestic. Meaning, I love to cook, create, garden, clean and organize (though some may argue that my idea of organized is not really organized at all). I enjoy the process as well as the end result. Having something to show for all your hard work. Especially when it's a clean house (if it can stay that way I am doubly happy) or something delicious to eat.
Today was about cleaning and baking. Four loads of laundry (and more waiting for another day) and my second attempt at Baguette Normal (Parisian daily bread - or "the baguette"). The bread is a 4 hour or longer process which when done right, creates a crusty loaf with a delicate crumb the likes of which I have not tasted since my college choir tour in Europe (and even then the bread wasn't quite like this seeing how the Germans do it slightly different).
With my first attempt on Friday night being a success, I made a double batch - two baguettes and eight petits pains (one of which I devoured as soon as it was cool enough to cut).
