Slow to Add

Pictures will arrive soon. I Baked chocolate Muffins following king Arthur's Recipe. They came out quite well, I used some Jacues Torres 85% chocolate pastelles as always. They do have some excellent chocolate.

I also followed their recipe for Corn Muffins with a kick, they were I must say a bit disappointing. They just didn't go with the flavor I want out of a corn muffin. Not corny enough and actually way too spicy. Not too spicy in that I was crying but it was covering all the flavors. I left out the Monterrey Jack Cheese, which possibly could have fixed things, but I feel the corn presence would not have been adequate.

I then Baked some Croissants de Patisserie. I realized I like de Boulangerie more. Well lesson learned, a few turned out well, but most not so. I will have to do both Boulangerie and Patisserie. Must perfect these great foods. Puff pastry is important to learn and master.

Food, for thought and the soul.

First Post

Okay, what is this blog supposed to be about, well pretty simply it is supposed to be a blog covering what I eat and what I make. I think I'm going to try to start keeping track of things I make and places I go to eat. This isn't meant to be a blog for tracking what I eat for health reasons, but rather so I can follow and document places I go. There are likely to be some overlay with my other blog, the 411. However the overlap will be minimal and things from here will only show up on my other blog if I really loved a place, hated a place or really proud of something. Well let's hope this blog goes on well.

Cheers
Noah
