Why???

Hi there, to whomever is reading this post.

This blog was inspired by the movie Julie and Julia.... and here is my story, Bread and I.

I love to bake but rarely find time to do so. I have a 5-5 job, sitting in front of the computer the whole day. So you can imagine what baking is like to me. I love the mixing of different ingredients and seeing them transform into something magical.

I am in no way even closed to being a great or medium-great baker, though I aspire to be one.

I picked up Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads book a while back. I read a few pages, but never really attempted making any of the breads from his book because they just look so time consuming.

This is going to change...... I am getting older, if I don't do this now, when? Wait until I am 60?

Today I made a pledge to myself.

Pledge begins:

I am going to make each and every one of the breads from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads book. No.... not just make them. Each one has to be successful, meaning, tasty and more than edible. I will try and try each one again until I succeed.

Pledge ends.

This blog will document my journey........
