how long do we bake it for? ....

The bread block is history. For my "Design a Bread" project, I went for tomato garlic challah bread.  It turned out quite good.  I think I'll have garlic oozing from my pores for awhile.  The country white loaf also came out good for my Friday practical.
We start petits fours and tarts on Monday.  We switch instructors which reminds me of kindergarten to 1st grade anxiety.  We had Chef Michelle for the 1st 6 weeks and she was a great way to start the program. My favorite Chef Michelle quote came very early in the program.  She was putting something in the oven and someone asks "how long do you bake it for?" She immediately replied with "until it's done".  She was my hero from that point on - just like Ms Platt in kindergarten.
