…how’s that for alliteration, eh?

This year I made 2 new years resolutions, 1 - to try my best to doodle/draw daily, and 2 - to take a bath once* a week. I’m happy to say, almost 3 weeks in, I’m doing pretty good. I kind of started doing both of them at the end of last year, and wanted to make sure I made them a priority in my life. It’s really great to make time to take a bath and be calm and quiet once a week. I actually have to set a timer because I want to take at least a 20 minute bath and sometimes I get antsy because I’m not good at just sitting, but I’m getting much better, and I’ve been reading. 
So why am I talking about this on my baking blog? Because it’s part of my life and it’s my blog and whatever stuff like that… but mostly because I just finished this book:

It’s actually a very small book (in length and size) and a very quick and easy read. The book does share some tips and recipes (as stated on the cover), but I really enjoyed hearing what Peter Mayle and Gerard Auzet had to say. The first half is the author talking about his experience visiting with, and talking to a great baker who’s got bread making in the family and has a well known bakery in the town of Cavaillon. The book made me want to know more about breads and to move to France and be an apprentice in a French bakery. 

*don’t worry, I shower regularly.
