Egads!

Since returning from spring break we had a week of obstetrics and now I'm in the second week of pediatrics. Yes, peds. Or perhaps "aw gahd peds!" would be more fitting. It is a metric sh** ton of information and at this point in the didactic year I think my brain is on strike. Chili doesn't seem to like it either. I get home, make some food, take her for a walk, and then study. Last night it was the chi who was on strike....

"It's not you, it's me....really"

Baking: Week 1

I started baking bread at the co-op in Bozeman this week. My shift started at 3:30 in the a.m. and I got to weigh and mix, shape, score, and bake hundreds of breads, including:

baguettes, challah, ciabatta (loaves and rolls), foccacia (salt & herb, red pepper parmesan, caramelized onion, mushroom, pepperoni, and blue cheese walnut) and a different flavor levain every day, sourdough, burger buns, sausage buns... a lot of bread!

There's a lot to learn, and next week I'm training on the second bread shift so I get to sleep in! It doesn't start til 4:15 a.m.
