A DAY OFF

MOTORHEAD, originally uploaded by Lektrogirl.

I spent the day with Hobart on the sofa reading a new book called "The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Pastry Arts". It has a section devoted to all the different ways of cutting an apple for patisserie items and all the names in French. If you want to know what a "biscuit" is I can tell you - and it isn't a cookie. The book totally blew my mind and I was so excited, then exhausted from reading it, that I had to have a nap.

My kitchen is so tiny and shit that it is a bit depressing to think about how hard it is in there, but then I was reading 180 pages of "A sweet life in Paris" last night by David Lebovitz who tells of having icecream makers in his bedroom when he moved to Paris that I feel like there is some hope.

I think I need a cup of tea.
