Break can not come soon enough! So now that I have free'd up my weekends by working nights I have been working with the Garden Club a lot. Which I love, it is a pretty big spot they have and it isn't to far from home base. I walked over there last Sunday and hung out for a couple of hours and then walked back. I had no idea but I was burnt to a crisp and I had used sunscreen. I actually feel helpful and knowledgeable as well which is nice since for a change.

Yesterday, I made donuts it was kind of fun jelly filled, Boston creme, powdered and chocolate dipped and then...it was over a hundred degrees in the bakery and I was standing over a350 degree vat of oil frying donuts - and the sweat was running down my legs - it lost it's appeal.
The last two nights at work have been interesting Wed night utter disappointment - my bread was well, flat! I wanted to jump out a window. Then last night..it was beautiful! I love watching it rise in the oven it is magic every time it occurs. Apparently, with such high temps in the bakery I needed to use much colder water like down around the fifties who new? Now I do. I even got home early... one am.

Today we are going to practice lattice topped pies and make cookies it should be a nice Friday.
