JM: I’m just impressed that it’s possible to make bread– that we can do that. With our hands.
DR: Uh hunh…
JM:
Bread dough is so cool. Theyeast eats and multiplies and when you knead it the second time, it’s like you can feel it pushing back at you. A bread dough is a living thing. It’s aliiiiive.DR: Really?
JM: Yeah, and when you shape it into a
baguette , it feels like an arm. Like a limp, human arm.DR: Ew!
JM: Only tasty.
DR: I’m sure that
limp human arm is not what “baguette” means in French.

oh, so you did make bread! Look good!
A bit pink on my computer, so the comparisons to an arm are a bit worrying, but good nonetheless!
Does this mean no more croisssant requests?

Would it scare you if I tried to make vegan croissants chez moi?

Um…a little. But I’m open minded.
