The epic most epic post ever.

Dundadadadundundunda! I've been wanting to set up a blog for a long time, and I seem to have finally gotten myself to sit down on the porch of my humble new abode to do it.
Ohshoot be right back my beet green chips are burning............................................................Whew they're okay.
So this blog is not going to be about anything super exciting to you I'm guessing; however, I'm looking forward to writing throughout the course of my travels, culinary journey, life....whatever I feel like expanding upon on any given day.  Beginning with this summer!
Current location: Stehekin, WA.  Front porch of the "flop house" where I connect to the internet with one bar.
Date: June 29, 2011.

I arrived in Stehekin two weeks ago tomorrow. And jumped right into work the day after I got here.  I am working as a baker's apprentice at the Stehekin Baking and Pastry Co.  So far, it has been going very well.  I finished my training period on Monday, have had the last two days off and will work again tomorrow morning.    My hours are 4-4:30 am to 11:30-3 five days a week.  I am enjoying the hours because first off, I'm a morning person which should explain itself.  Second, the first few hours pass by very quickly so that by the time other people are waking up and starting their jobs, I am getting off work and have the entire day to hike, read, bike around etc.  Sweet deal if you ask me.  Literally.
I make a lot of bread here, looooottttsss of bread.
And cakes. And coffee cakes. And keuchen (A German coffee cake which everyone says is the best thing since sliced bread, but I have yet to try)
And muffins.
And croissants. bacon/swiss, ham/swiss, pesto/swiss....mmm
Giant cinnamon rolls and sticky buns

.....And I leave work completely covered with flour.
In my hair, on my face, clothes, pants, apron, shoes. Everywhere.
Looking like a ghost actually. Or a really white person. More so than usual.
Excited to see if as the season progresses I become more adept at avoiding flour everywhere.

Helped out in the local garden this morning.  Harvested beets and butterleaf lettuce.  Going to try and assist there once a week on my day off to see if I can learn something about it.

  1. Ha-Hahaha, Good morning person is an understatement. You are a "Got to beat the sun up", morning person ;) Quite literally.
    Did the flour get in you nose and ears? I imagine that is not fun to get out :/
