Brioche



My first and maybe last brioche...it is too easy to keep eating - so soft and fluffy. Definitely not a good carb. I had lots of pictures of the sponge and the various fermentation stages, but they are on my other computer and it's just too hard to move things back and forth, especially with only one USB port. Couldn't they have squeezed on more on there?
The power of an audience: I am so motivated now to attempt the recipes that were too fussy...ie rye recipes. This weekend. I think I will start feeding my yeast each wednesday night for baking on Saturday morning. Easy thing to do when it's -22 outside (which it is)...but in the spring? The summer?
Will have a BooHoo Brunch on Sunday, while Nadia and Jim have their open house....how can they bear to leave us?

Artemis has been spending most of her free time lately in this position, and Nemy, mostly photographing her as she did here.

  2. Pip is inspired to try Arti's new hobby. She nodded when I pointed to the photo and asked her if she'd like to try sitting on the big girl potty.
