So what are we talking here, like, four months till Valentine’s Day? Worst holiday of the year for pastry chefs.
So you might be thinking to yourself, “didn’t he do caramel last time?” and you’d be right, gentle reader, quite right.
If there is an equation for good community, I think it goes something like this: people + nature + moderate amounts of alcohol – television = good.
It was a delicious and unique adventure, a special opportunity to broaden my experiences – to have hot water that’s dripped over ground, burnt beans change my worldview.
Demonstrably irrefusable. Ontologically delicious . . . caramelizing something is pretty much the phrase for making it taste good.
Pastry is that second of forgetting. It’s the short counterpoint to the rest of an all-in-all pretty awful day. It’s the unapologetic wasteful misuse of all your resources, a slap in the face of the daily grind.
