From 15 to 34

Well, it appears as though the first bake day was a success!  I toiled in my apartment-turned-bakery from the bright-and-early time of 5:30am (ok, so maybe it was still dim) until approximately 12:30 (with time to go to the doctors for an appointment in the middle!).  And finished all 15 bread orders in time to bring them to our 1:30 class.  Never walked around a school carrying 15 aromatic loaves of freshly baked bread before - or seen anyone else do that, for that matter.  I drew some stares - I'm counting that as awareness raising for our trip :)

I say the day was a success not only because I finished all 15 orders, but also because I have 34 orders to fill for bake day number two.  All in my little kitchen oven.  Now THAT will be a challenge!  Looking forward to it though.

If you want to see some of the action, make sure you check back - I'll be posting some pictures of this grand event.

Unfortunately, I cannot really describe how amazing a little apartment full of rising and baking bread smells . . . but if you can recall the last visit you made to a local bakery you'll get the idea.

Thanks for your continued interest, support, and prayers!
