Thursday was kind of a knock off day at school. We made beignets and donuts. The donuts were the yeast variety as opposed to the cake variety. If it wasn't for the boiling vat of oil, these would be fun to make at home. Maybe I could install a deep fryer in the backyard....Friday was the end of laminated doughs (croissants, danish and brioche). I have next week off from school. I see a week of home projects, movies and book reading in my future. On July 6, we start a block on custards, fillings and creams. That would include chocolate mousse which is something that I've been looking forward to.
