Amateur baker with an interest in yeast baking methods. Love those breads!
Nice clean presentation. The radishes caught my eye - I just love them.
If it's freshly cooked, I like it hot. If a dish is past its prime though, temp doesn't matter.
I like summer fruits room temp or even warmer. Never in the fridge, except maybe watermelon. I used to have a peach tree in my backyard, and there was nothing like grabbing one off on a nice summer day.

Apple Danish Braid with some work notes. The more I do this, the easier it becomes.
A late summer Onion Tart is a pure delight. As the summer days wind down and we head towards autumn, we yearn for deeper and heartier flavors.

Today a dozen of these 9 ounce loaves were baked to be into our traditional Polish Easter baskets. Each year, traditional foods such as ham, Polish sausage, horseradish, sweets, and salt are put into the basket and blessed at the local church.

We were on a bit of a cream puff kick, so I made a rustic simple chocolate ricotta filling for this batch.

I just did a homemade batch using my old 1978 Presto electric griddle. I used the recipe out of Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice book. It's pretty basic, much like one bread recipe that I do. Outstanding. No more store bought for us.
