Baking

Our new block is baking, we finally got to spend some time in the kitchen.- We had to make five items, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Sugar cookies, Southern biscuits, Focaccia, Baguette. Chocolate chip cookies formula is made with shortening instead of butter or other fat. I made a change to the formula and added half butter. Didn't make that much of a change other than crispy edges. We did over proof our bread but that was my fault I didn't follow up on where it was placed while it is proofing and my partner had to test out on the bar setup. It was totally disorganized and chaotic and fun. Today we are talking about pies- Pate' Brissee (Un-sweet dough, Flaky) inbetween with less flaky- more flaky. less flaky is considered mealy or short. Pate' Sucree is a sweet flaky IE tarts. Pate Sablee IE. Short bread.

Capstone

I keep obsessing over this project. It is exciting but I need some crucial information before I can continue. Regardless I will still be making a test project. On another note, what is every-one's favorite fish to eat? I personally like "pan" fish. IE blue gill, crappie.

Capstone

I think I have my Capstone project. More information may or may not come later if it proves to be a viable project. I am a bit obsessed with the thought and possibilities. I think it could be big.

Name change

I need to come up with a better name or title to my website and this blog. I thought about Foodspotting but that appears to be taken by quite a few different foodie blogs and sites. Since movies have been a huge part of my life the past 20 years I was trying to incorporate it into the title. Any suggestions?
