No bagels this week, sorry

I'm heading to Vancouver from the 27th to the 3rd!

Anyone want to hang out, email me...

Perhaps I'll make those bagels anyways!

Baking In Binary: Poppyseed Challah

Welcome to my new semi-regular column-- Baking In Binary, because I usually do all this baking as a good way to take a break from coding. And since my coding is done about 10 feet from the kitchen, I can really get into some good stuff.
Like a challah! Here's today's, fresh out of the oven:

One nicely done Challah!

After some rising it started like this:

Then turned into this after some squishing:

The after some rolling it turned into this:

And just before the oven it looked like this:

Voila. It's tasty. And if you want the recipe, you're going to have to *gasp* contact me directly to get it. :) Although I can't guarantee any results.

Odds, ends, and promises

Yeah, I really hate people who don't update their blogs too.

Ok, as you may have seen on the other blog page, I got into grad school. Woot. Dalhousie here I come.

And I'm baking a lot, so my next entry (tomorrow) will highlight whatever I decide to make. Probably involving poppy seeds. So tasy, so black, so heroin producing--- I mean, Ukranian.

I would blog about my pita breads, but I ate them. Twice. I promise to blog about batch #3.
