PIE-TARTS PART 2 (lab)

IN LAB IS WASNT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT.... CHEF HAD EVERYONE IN CLASS GOING STEP BY STEP, SO EVERYONE WAS BASICALLY ON THE SAME LEVEL BAKING THREE PIES-TARTS, WHICH I THINK WAS 2 MANY TO COOK WHEN UR JUST JUMPING OUT THERE. MY APPLE PIE WAS GREAT, TOOK IT TO WORK AND EVERYONE LOVED IT.... I NEEDED MORE JUICE I THINK , THEN IT WOULD HAD BEEN PERFECT. I PICKED UP THE WRONG PIE CRUST FOR MY BANANA CREAM PIE, WHICH HAD TO MUCH BUTTER IN IT. BUT OTHER WISE IT WAS PRETTY GOOD..... MY TART HMMMMMMM MY POOR CRUST....... NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT TO DO MY NEXT PIE/TART WILL BE PERFECT....

THIS IS SO NEW FOR ME, I WISH WE ONLY HAD TO MAKE ONE, THAT WAY I WOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL RUSHED, I REALLY WANT IT TO TURN OUT GREAT, SO MAYBE I COULD TAKE IT HOME OR WORK... SO FAR NO TREATS ARE GOING HOME...LOL......I'M SURE I'LL LOOK BACK AT THIS ONE DAY AND LAUGH. MAYBE HARDER THAN WHAT I'M DOING NOW........PLEASE LORD JUST LET ONE PIE TURN OUT CORRECT......LOL.....

Breads

In lab tonight we cooked breads. Hmmmmm ..... I love bread.. I could live off bread alone.....I
have always been very nervous about baking. Its a kraft where you must really follow direction, no adding or taking away. You must stick to what the book is reading. I'm not the most patient
person.in the world ..and really not good on following direction completly...(only being honest).. Getting everything together is the easy part, and i stuck to everything the book instructed. At the end myself and my team member still came out a little short . With time, and maybe a little short on salt. I do believe you really have to have a day set aside if your going to bake, where that all your going to do, and that bake and bake only.... What kills me is waiting. Waiting on the bread to rise, then after it rises, you must wait again. .. oh my gosh.... Hmmmmmmm ...... i have so much more respect for our baker after
tonight.....But it was fun and i did learn alot.......
