My Wife is Very Very Good to Me
My wife was very good to me on my birthday (Dec. 18). She gave me a copy of The Taste of Bread. What an amazing book. I had borrowed a copy of it from the local library and had started reading it, sorta' rushing through the science to get to the baking. Now I can take my time reading while I am out for the Christmas break (I teach high school drafting). Right no there is a 70% hydration French dough in its primary fermentation. I'll let y'all know how it turns out!

Hi, fatdog.
What a happy birthday present! I'm guessing that your kind wife expects this gift to have consequences. ;-)

Doc,
You better watch out! That is how my library of bread books started. It sounds like she got you hooked good. Enjoy the obsession, oops I mean hobby.
