Today, I, Barb the French Bean, asserted my feminine kitchen skills and made French baguettes for the very first time in my life.
Yes, today, I made my bread-baking ancestors proud by using nothing but bread flour, water, salt and pungent active yeast that stunk up my kitchen.
Next time, I will add "a pinch of patience" to that list of ingredients.
You have my permission to laugh at how wonky they look, but don't you dare ask me to make a sammich with them. I make sammiches for NO ONE but myself.
LOL! I like the title of the post XD It has like this cave woman sound to it "Me! am woman!!"
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making bread for the first time, looks good! I love baking; there's nothing better than the smell of fresh bread! :)

Oooo those look delicious! It's okay that they are a bit deformed. xD
ReplyDeleteYummm... the house must have smelt great while they were baking! :o)
ReplyDeletePartner-in-Crime: Yeah. As I was baking them, I felt like saying "I am Woman, hear me ROAR!" Of course, if I had done that, my grandmother would have thought I was talking to her.
ReplyDeleteGabriella: I agree with that! The smell of baking bread is quite a homey scent. :D
Miss Sassy Pants; Thanks! I'm sure that with practice, I'll get the hang of it.
Crazy Cris: It did! Just remember the warmness of baking bread makes me want to make some more. :)
I now have Shania Twain stuck in my head, so thank you?

ReplyDeleteXD "made my bread-baking ancestors proud" isn't that the truth! They look awesome :)
ReplyDeleteLorraine: ...Now I have it stuck in my head, too. :P
ReplyDeleteEmily: I have, actually! I already know how to make madeleines from scratch and in all sorts of flavors. Maybe someday...:)
