My interesting NY resolutions for 2013 are as follows:
1. To bake 50 different assortments of bread
2. To smile at strangers
3. Yellow Casa Expansion
This is an update on how #1 is going.
Bread baking challenge:
Thank god for the French. Between their crouissants, tartins, and "pains de bastard, bullet, or champagne", I could finish 50 different recipes without even leaving France. And the recipes, are so simple. Flour, water, salt. Add the transformative powers of yeast and you have yourself a reason to go buy pate at the store.
Here are a few pictures of the pain Francis (plain French bread) that I made recently. This recipe taught me to have a sense of humor while baking. Not all the bread that I bake will look like supermodels.

What I intended to make....
It caused some trouble along the way....
But everything turned out in the end. :)
