Passed My First Vocab Quiz in Nearly 10 Years

And I was pretty awesome at it, too.

Next week, I think I'll tackle baking. Or watch my very first presidential swearing-in ceremony. I don't know which one would be more awesome. Hmmm.

Check out three books: Foodwise, by Shirley Corriher, the Tassajara bread book and the Tassajara cookbook if you can find copies of them. I know amazon has them all. They're proponents of "organic" methods of cooking, and you might find it helpful to get a feel for the chemistry of it and what different ingredients do to recipes so that you can eventually bake that way. Especially Cookwise - if you have to buy one out of the three, then that one is the one to get, and it's valuable enough that you will want your own copy.
