I'm hoping my dad can fix it, but meanwhile, I'm more committed to working with wet dough. I'd love to trade out work, I'll get my library hold on the book soon - and maybe we'll be in touch? It's also too bad that we can't "trade lives" once in a while, I'd love to go to work where you do for a little while :)rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-51453384240773777672012-02-28T15:04:50.885-06:002012-02-28T15:04:50.885-06:00I loved reading this post since I, too, just went ...I loved reading this post since I, too, just went down the Tartine path. Actually, I bought the book last year (about 5 minutes after watching that video!) but didn't get around to trying it until this year. The funny thing is that I am a professional baker who dreams of getting out of the food business and staying at home to make food just for me and my family. ;-) Food has always been my passion and I am grateful for all I've learned but at the end of the day, it's really hard work and doesn't leave you inspired to make dinner you know? I dream of an oven like that in the backyard too. Maybe we should trade help and at the end we'd all have one??leedavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206074013698470235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-53870784591319980232012-02-24T16:38:06.603-06:002012-02-24T16:38:06.603-06:00I've got to read the book first and "asse...I've got to read the book first and "assess the situation", but I may totally take you up on it!

I'll check out Naomi - I haven't heard of that one... <br /><br />I think the most frustrating thing for me is that I now know what I want to do, kind of - I mean, it's lots of things, but when I was younger and had every opportunity, I had no idea. One of the best things about Chad's book is that he is doing exactly what he wants. I'm sure he's doing ok money-wise while doing it, but more importantly, he's living/working with what makes him most happy. That's all I want :)rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-57035108385051274962012-02-22T11:37:49.800-06:002012-02-22T11:37:49.800-06:00Heh Rebecca,

So grateful to read about your struggle, which is very relateable to many of us who follow our passion, instead of our wallets. Bread is a great analogy for life (see Jesus, et al), your reflections here are quite beautiful. Rising (and raising) takes time, keep the faith. It will happen. I will think on it some more as I tear off another piece of focaccia. <br /><br />Ps. Have you tried Naomi Duguid's recipe for Dom's Boule in Home Baking? A favorite of mine.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387640160133278340noreply@blogger.com
