Of Bread and Balls

Yesterday was the third of four sessions for the Baking 101 class I’m taking at Cook’s World. We covered yeast breads and in class we made Parker House Rolls, Rosemary Focaccia, Bagels and Cinnamon Rolls with a Lemon Glaze. The rolls and focaccia were very tasty. The bagels were ok but nothing spectacular. The cinnamon rolls were very good! I have never had them with a lemon glaze and it was very interesting and tasty. Next week is the final session and we’re going to cover pies and tarts.

During a break in class I signed up for two more classes. Rustic Breadbaking and Home Cheesemaking. There are several classes at Cook’s World I want to take but money being what it is I’ll have to save for them.

Oh, and yesterday there was a little game you might have heard about. Now that I’ve seen the whole thing I can stop hiding from the internet. I didn’t think the New Orleans Saints would win but I was rooting for them and I’m glad they won. The commercials were mostly lame this year. “Play Nice” and “The Griswalds” were my favorites.

I envy all your cooking and baking classes!

I'm willing to share my knowledge. We just need to figure out a time to get together.

I think one of the most perplexing things that I could use tips and tricks for is pie crust.

Pillsbury sells them in boxes. :)

Seriously though I'll know a lot more after Sunday when we cover that in class.
