Nothing very interesting today. Sent back a video card at kinko’s and that was horrible. I had to wait in line for 20minutes because none of the employees figured they could stop what they were doing for 10min to help out 5 people. I swear this lady took 20minutes babbling on about the worth of the package which was a free sample she was sending back. I didn’t see why it was a big ordeal but I sat there anyway waiting for someone to come up and help me. 30 min later I finally walk out the store and that lady was still there taking her sweet time while the other 4 people were waiting.
Made some baguettes and this time I didn’t cheat on the starter time. I started the starter yeast last night since it had to do its thing for 12-16 hours. The bread came out much better this time but it still seems a bit salty. I used my baking stone which fits perfectly for my tiny stove but not for my huge baguettes. I should have made 4 smaller loaves but I didn’t think they’d come out so long so I ended up wrapping them like tapeworms. Well that’s what I imagined they looked like. They turned out much more rustic looking (and tasting) and didn’t look like hotpockets. Made some pesto pasta and it took less time since I had already cut off the stems and discarded the bad leaves. Still took about 1.5hours to make but I didn’t feel rushed since I had made the bread earlier in the day.
