I have been SLACKING on these blogs!!! You have to excuse my short term memory. Last week I enjoyed lab, even though the floating island project wasn't a favorite and my creme brulee was too watery, my flan made up for it. I love that stuff and it's easy to make. We made it last quarter and I didn't really like it but I guess that's why you should give everything a second chance. I also learned that I was saying the word flan like a hillbilly (thanks chef mark)!!

At class today I suppose to make rye bread. The only problem with mine is that it never raised, it actually shrunk. I'm not quite sure why it did, maybe I didn't give it enough time or maybe it was the recipe, who knows? I did realize how much patience you need when it comes to baking. I think if I was to work in a bakery that waiting for bread to rise wouldn't take as long as it did in class. In class it felt like it was taking forever, but in a bakery there's probably a lot more to do than just watching one loaf a bread.
