Yeah, just got up myself. Have to get into work early today to make bread for a photo shoot for the Washingtonian magazine. They're coming to the restaurant this morning to photograph some food for the Top 100 issue. It's not due out for a few months so we won't know where we'll sit for a while.
Crossing fingers!

Good morning all. The start to a very busy two days here. Hey bread, you'll have to link us to the final when it comes out!

 

[Kaat72]

What's keeping you busy these days shellie?

Well, my mom is moving. She has serious health concerns and has a series of medical appointments to clear her for flight tomorrow. Fun! Lol anyway, where she's going she will have a better quality of life. It's not fun for her here in the mountains. How's it goin, Kaat?

Morning all! Hope everyone had a nice weekend and a not too terrible Monday. I went for hibachi last night with a bunch of friends. Our chef was quite amusing. I also had a pumpkin martini which was delicious!! (Although not nearly as good as my recently discovered love for fireball whiskey!!)
Happy Tasty Tuesday!!

So she's moving further away now? That's a downer But yah, better for her.

Hi BB! :wavey:

A wee down for myself lately. Maybe it's the constant pouring rains, the shorter daylight, lack of real holiday this last summer (saving days and cash for next year) or the stress in the office.

You are such a girl, BB.

A Martini should be made this way ...

Step one, chill glass.
Step two, add cracked ice to shaker (crushed makes it too watery and cubes are too big).
Step three, add a capfull of Noilly Prat extra dry vermouth, shake gently and drain excess liquid.
Step four, add 2 oz. of Luksusowa Potato Vodka and shake for 6.2 seconds (actually, that assumes an ambient temperature of 70

Your mom isn't moving too far away is she?

 

[BabyBlues]

Yes, yes I am.
Until the tomboy comes out.

 

[lunatic59]

Yes, yes I am.

I'll bet you even have special shoes for that. :vroam:

Beastie boys and a Rube Goldberg machine. What's not to love.

 

[BabyBlues]

Why am I picturing something like these?

I love those!!

 

[shelliewnj]

Yes, she's moving half a country away.

LOVE the shoes.

I posted that girls video to my Facebook. I could see my daughter doing that with her friends!

 

[lunatic59]

I love those!!

Knew you would.

Yes, she's moving half a country away.

Hmmm. Take a map of the U.S. and fold it in half plotting Shellie's location. You're sending your mom up the Mississippi?

 

[shelliewnj]

Hahaha. Forgot you know exactly where I am. No, not exactly. Twin cities.
Edit: ok, if we're getting technical, you don't know exactly where I am but geesh! Lol

 

[lunatic59]

You do realize that the Mississippi starts in Minneapolis/St. Paul. You theoretically *could* send mom up the river and she'd still get there.

Probably one of the best baguettes we've produced. Proud to say I had a hand in the production for all of em (mixed all the doughs, divided, shaped, scored and baked ). Have to say, the ones I scored (the slashes; takes a lot of practice to do it well with baguettes) was the best of the three of us there; including my boss.
