Last Monday I asked Michael if he wanted to make pastries this weekend. On Tuesday I sat down and tried to pick recipes from Bouchon Bakery. On Wednesday we culled our recipe list, wrote down all of our ingredients, and made massive Amazon and King Arthur Flour orders online. On Thursday I started checking the mail for my starter. On Friday I ordered a chef jacket to keep all of the flour on a single piece of clothing, and Nathan texted me that "about 100 pounds of flour just showed up" (it was 30). On Saturday I made bread to keep the starter happy; on Sunday we did prep work (dough, starters, anything we could do ahead of time) from noon to midnight; and finally, today, I woke up at 6:50 to start baking.
The results were worth every minute of work. Here are some of my cell phone photos, but expect higher-quality photography from Alice, Adem and Kiran soon. (Thanks, photography team!)
