Does that mean you'll give us a resume of the lecture?

I got my last big overtime check of the season, with a surprise bonus for working Yom Kippur, so I beetled into Barnes and Noble and ordered The Taste of Bread. Should be here by the end of the week.
The clubhouse manager asked me to make him some bread to impress some friends of his, I guess, so I made Reinhart's pain ordinaire in a retarded 2 lb boule, the Royal Crown Tortano, and Reinhart's focaccia shaped like a ciabatta. They liked the tortano.
I have been working part time in a whole foods grocery store where they have everything they need in the way of ovens, mixers, proofers, but they don't use them. They buy all the bread from some places with really good reputations and you know, eat a slice or two of any of them, and you'll know if you have a tmj problem. We talking chewy. I'm not sure if that's what I like.

| |  Aerobics For The Jaw
TBH:
I lived in the San Francisco bay Area for 15 years. All of the sourdough bread that I bought from street vendors in S.F. seemed tough. Chewing it gave my jaw muscles, the masseters, a real aerobic workout. Never again.  |

There was a Barnes and Noble box on the Hoosier when I got home tonight, but it was kind of light. I was expecting a scholarly tome that will keep me absorbed for weeks. It feels like a Golden Book, but we'll see what's inside.

TBH - I'm dying to know your impressions of The Taste of Bread. I agree that the book looked unassuming. There are an awful lot of words per page though I find it fascinating. A lot like the Bread Builders, but with formulae.

A Hoosier is one of those old fashioned oak kitchen worktop/cupboard items. The one we have has been in the family for years.
I crawled into bed with The Taste of Bread and was immediately and properly humbled. I can't wait to really get into it. This guy Calvel sounds like the Ignatius J. Reilly of bakers, always on the lookout for lapses in decency and taste. I am going to try his French bread tomorrow, following all his hints on mixer speeds and times and temperatures. I also want to try the rustic bread with the pate fermentee that just gets cut into chunks and not really properly shaped.

I kinda though you might like it. I find the Translator's side bars very helpful.
