What is Baking mean to You? Here is a poem I just jotted down in an effort to get back to food blogging again. I want to hear from my readers --- is baking a smell, a sight or sound? A memory?
Baking
It is patience It is understanding the
ebb
and
flow Of ingredients
Of Environmental factors
It is flirting with formulations to achieve the ultimate in taste combination - Whether that result achieved is simplistic or quite complicated.
Baking is the warmth of a stack oven
Of the freshly
de-panned product.
Baking is the satisfaction
Of creation.
Of the tears which well in their eyes when a taste, a smell invokes memories
of home, Of a loved one that has
passed on.
Baking is
the alcoholic fumes permeating from a container that
housed your starter - your poolish - your biga - or your mix.
Baking is intoxication.

I also experimented with a new add-on for GIMP called "Polar Inversion" - so I used it on the pic below. I think it encapsulates production quite well, you know, the total process seems full circle.
