just beat it

Finishing the "mis" for the brioche dough.

There is nothing more therapeutic than taking a french pin to a block of butter.

Release of aggression + pliable butter = brioche and a happy belly.

ode to buerre

I was planning a post on pâte à choux, namely Gougeres but it was a FAIL. Instead I am sharing a picture of an apron I stitched as a homage to a "mother" ingredient, butter. Food tattoos are all the rage(at least on Top Chef) and they run the gamut from inspired to inane. I have toyed with the idea of tattoos, but never quite settling on a specific image. It is not likely that I will succumb to my body art impulses and probably never will, I'm more Donna Reed than Joan Jett.
