Working Towards the Oven...

 Thought it would be fun to document some the steps I am taking as I pursue a future in baking.  I have recently taken a second job doing product promotions to make extra money in hopes of buying a deck oven.

I have also started working on my boss to see if I would be able to sell bread in front of the store.  My goal is to bake my way into her heart so I made her a beautiful crusty loaf of sourdough, wrapped it up and brought it to her at work. 

She was having a bad day and in a terrible mood the day I gave it to her and asked her about my idea (gulp).  But I learned the next week that she loved the bread, and ate half of it on the way home from work the day I gave it to her.  She also seemed amenable to my bread selling idea and said she will ask her boss.

Communion Ministry

Matt and I are in charge of the Sunday morning communion ministry at our church which means we set it up and tare it down.  Since we have taken it over we have been pleased to make some improvements to the system.  We upgraded the wine to Port and finally after a few years of offering to make the communion bread (instead of using matza crackers) Pastor Phil said yes.  Palm Sunday was our first service with real bread followed by Maundy Thursday.  It is an honor to make the bread for the most important meal a Christian consumes!
