La patisserie

I did it. We made two lovely french baguettes today. The miracle is that I haven't eaten them both. They are magnifique! True loved working the dough, and wanted to keep playing with it. She liked the texture. Me too. And the smell. You're lucky we aren't sharing with any y'all as she kept pressing it almost to her face and pulling huge lungfulls of yeasty essence in. I don't guarantee there ain't a touch of Trueby in there.
A friend sent me this picture in an email a few days ago. I was so struck by how different our kitchen is! I took another shot from the same place to compare, check this out. And look at True! She's as tall as the little platform her dad built for her at one. That was funny too. It was so she could help in the kitchen without me always being worried she'd topple off a chair. Notice the wheels on the bottom. That sucker was aces!
Again, totally off topic, but what the hell is the deal with the "liberal" media? After eight years of no coverage whatsoever on the most secretive and criminal administration ever, they are now falling over themselves trying to be "investigative reporters" about a connection between Blagojevich and Obama. For crying out loud!
Alright, if you, like me, are trapped in the house and need something to kill time, try out any of these. This one is rockin awesome, the commentary is as funny as the pics. This one is high-larious and just feels good, especially his face when you kak him. This one is more traditional holiday, but interesting nonetheless. Yep, good stuff.
