bread is a way of life.
Challah.
Comes from the jewish word for "offering"
Special kind of bread used for holidays.
It is a very sweet, golden, eggy bread.
The sesame seeds represent the "manna" given to the Isrealites when they wandered in the desert for 40 years.

after I braided, I have some extras dough.
I did the logical thing and made some challah rolls:
LOOK! its a tasteful blend of spices:
used to make chai bagels:
with brown sugar and sugar on top:
and with cinnamon sugar on top:
these bagels were an invention straight out of my head. I am proud of them!
and now the regular bagels:

and lastly, English Muffins:
A couple of nights ago, Charles and I enjoyed a tasty dinner.
Chicken stuffed with Thyme & Rosemary, garlic, lemon, and herb butter that I made prior.
Dried the chicken, sprinkled with salt and pepper & olive oil.
Placed carrots & brussel sprouts around the chicken and covered.
Baked for 2 hrs @ 350.
Boiled Squash in vegetable stock with Thyme.
And we paired it with a 2007 Steel Creek Pinot Nior:
this is what we had to say about it.
I find that my dinner photography is severely lacking. Why? because after prepping, cooking, placing, and garnishing I am hungry. I really just want to eat my food and not photograph it. However I am getting better about taking pictures of it, even if they are less than at least there is some sort of visual representation.
Last night, Charlie and I celebrated our FOUR MONTHS of marriage!
What did we do? SUSHI of course.
We went to Ru-Sans in Buckhead. Sushi was average, nothing special. There were loads of roll variations at a bargain price. The real treat though was the view from the second story windows.
I finally finished Kitchen Confidential - It was everything that I thought it was going to be and more. I feel like I inherited indispensable chef knowledge, something that because I have chosen to be, I am entitled.
:) oh happy morning.
- time for class.
