Buddha Canvas

Spent the day making buns and bread

I love making bread.  In the first cookbook dedicated to bread that  I read (the name escapes me now, too basic, something like “the bread book” the author spoke about making bread like it was a sacred experience. At the time I thought she was nuts. Today I fell into the zen of bread-making. Today she makes sense. The day began with the simple plan of making bread and watching 24 this evening. After I set my first (double) batch to rise. I didn’t want to stop.( I blame my new red apron) So I made a second. and for the first time in my bread-making history I didn’t follow a recipe. I used 9 different times of flour, and 3 different kinds of seeds. (light rye, dark rye, triticale, wheat, white, corn, spelt, oat and soy+ hemp, sunflower and flax)

I am a bread guru

 Last night I finally watched “Bob Roberts”. It was  on my list of movies to watch because of Alan Rickman. For any Rickmaniac- not enough Rickman. That aside, I really enjoyed the movie. Anyways, I have new respect for Tim Robbins  who has writing directing and acting credits. Its an interesting look at style v. substance in politics. Speaking of Rickman the preview for his upcoming movie Nobel Son is up and Running. It is an independent film, so I hope that between recent press for Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog) and Eliza Dushku fans this will get a wide enough review to be released here.
