slow burn






i apologize for my lack of posts lately. i'd bore you with excuses, but instead here are some photos.

i had to do a little catching up when i first got back to school due to miss communication that resulted in me having to skip the final weekend before holiday break. as a result i must have produced nearly 10 loaves of bread in one weekend leaving me to ponder if an impromptu bake shop should spring up in our garage.

the next weekends that followed were all about laminated doughs (flaky doughs). we made danishes, which i didn't get to shoot, along with croissants and some puff pastries.

you may also notice the couple of sad looking brioches, whose heads didn't setup just right, morning their decapitated brethren. he sure was tasty.

anyway, have a look and enjoy.

on holiday





its been a while. i was working on bread in school before i left for ohio, but wasn't able to get photos up until now.

the rest of the images are from my stay in columbus slaving away in the kitchen to appease my carb repressed family. ok, there not actually a fan of dr. atkins and i wasn't forced into it, i actually wanted to spoil them with food. in any case it kept me busy and content. although i produced a variety of goodies, even beef stew with a stock from scratch, i some how managed to only photo cinnamon rolls, which i attempted twice. oh and i got a few shots of pie. one is an osgood pie (short for "oh so good pie"), a request of my dads. it was sort of like pecan pie with apples and raisins in the mix. not too bad.
