In the land of America, the coolest Polish people meet for midnight mass at Christmas Eve. Sometimes they are so happy to see you, a new face in this land, that they'll invite you upstairs to sing carols with the choir. Both in Polish and English. Amazing, how 80-year young people, born in the States, still know how to speak Polish, which they thought from their parents. I tak, zaciagaja zabugowsko :)
In June I revisited one of my favourite places in the world, Innsbruck, together with a couple of friends. We spent four days hiking, talking and enjoying the local food, beer and wine. I also visited Tyrolia in search for a book about bread baking and purchased "Brot" by Bernd Armbrust.
I have probably been baking bread on ten occasions in my life so far. During the last months I had a feeling that this is something that I maybe should learn a little bit better. Hence the book.
I really appreciate, as a novice, the German simpliness and love for bread that is conveyed by the author. I decided to go with each of the recepies in the book to discover the bread palet of Herr Armbrust. When I am done, I guess I will either use the recepies we liked the most again, or try to alter them in order to create new pieces according to our taste in flavour, structure, aroma and occasional wickedness.
This blog is an aswer to a request by two people, who had a suggestion that I describe my adventures and creations in the form of a blog: my wife Daria and my friend Albert.
