Do you ever think about your life and realize that as a kid you would have never predicted that you like what you like? For example, I LOVE kitchen stores (also office supply stores, but that's an obsession to discuss at another time). Kevin and I found this great kitchen store not too far from us called Chef Central. This place is light years better than Bed, Bath, and Beyond, which only affords kitchen stuff a small place in the beyond.



There were so many tools, appliances, pieces of equipment, interesting ingredients, and cookbooks that our heads were spinning. We were able to drop off our knives to be sharpened. We wandered throughout the store calling to each other "hey, look at this!" Fortunately, we got out of there spending less than $100 and not picking up too much unnecessary stuff.



I was most happy that I was able to get containers for rising dough. Now, I don't think that that's the sole purpose of these containers. You can store anything in them really, but they are the same dough rising buckets that King Arthur advertises, but for $10 less! As soon as we got home, I put my buckets to use.




On the left is a light, whole wheat dough and on the right is a challah dough. Both doughs are from Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day.



After two hours of rising time, check out these doughs!!




Wow! Those doughs got huge!! The baked results will be coming soon...
