In few words: seattle goodness. i'm going to cook, write, and draw my way to creativity.
colored pencil drawing. i really limit myself to this particular killer guppie.
then i cut the various pieces in photoshop and used different filters on them to get the strange result.
mmmmm, olive loaf. one of my favorite breads. as always, the recipe can be found in the bread bible. That’s where all my recipes have come from.
The biga is the start. A small amount of the ingredients to get the yeast going. The finish, the loaf hot out of the oven and on the cooling rack.
overall they turned out pretty well. the second batch i reduced the amount of dough in each. I think next time i’m going to have to use the high gluten flour to get them a little more chewy.
drew a few robot/creature things. scanned them into my computer, did some lame photoshop filters to them and inserted into a pug sunning him self in the back room.
keep an eye out on your local news for how this story turns out.
we’ll limit the words tonight - but youtube is not working atm, videos added later.

Lately, I’ve been exploring more of the food side of things. i bought a book on Charcuterie and a book on bread making. Now I have countless of weeks of enjoyment ahead of me.
Today was all about cooking.
I had some breakfast sausage that was waiting to be used. So I whipped up a nice little sausage/pepper/garlic quiche to start the morning off.
The highlight of the day was the finishing of the drying of my pancetta. I actually began the process about a month ago. But the drying and the unveiling of the project was today. Took it down from the hook and sliced it open.
Fried it up and ate a few pieces. Wheeee, I love pork.
My loaf of rye bread was next on the agenda.

heh. i used to doodle this character back in the 80s during junior high. a man’s man and a killer guppie exploring the conflicts in life. scanned color pencils with an unsure hand and presto - this is what you get.
I just bought a new kitchen aid mixer to help my dough preparation skills. Food will be a constant theme. This should be a fun way to pass February.
