Scans

Here are some of my film pictures I've developed recently. The scanning job isn't very good. The originals look better. They're not the best stuff, but I'm working on becoming better.

film

This morning I printed film for the first time. I think I am going to have to buy more paper because I'm already thinking I'm addicted to printing pictures. I'm not really a fan of shooting or developing film, but printing film definitely beats printing digital prints. Once my prints have dried I'll scan some in and post them.

I spent about 4 hours in the darkroom this morning. It seemed like 30 minutes. I'm going back after class tonight. :D Printing is so great!

Cookies

I made molasses cookies, and they actually turned out really well. I don't know if my oven has problems or if it has something to do with the difference in altitude between Idaho and Utah, but the baking times are always different. Instead of baking the cookies for 11 minutes, I only needed to cook them for 8.5 minutes.

Ciabatta

I meant to write this a while ago, but I just never got around to it:

A week or two ago I tried the Ciabatta recipe from the book I just bought. It was a fairly time consuming recipe (I even had to start the dough the day before). The end result was good, but not good enough for the work involved. I had the wrong type of yeast, and I don't think I made the substitution completely correctly, so that may be some of the problem.

good intentions

Tonight I went to Borders and bought The Bread Baker's Apprentice. It's basically an artisan bread cookbook. I really wanted to get it because I really want to learn how to make this type of bread. 

Right now I feel kind of like someone who is just starting off on a new project and buying a bunch of stuff that they need to complete the project. And normally I think that this is as far as a lot of people get. And I'm afraid that this is as far as I'm going to get. 

Hopefully I do actually make some of these recipes soon.

French Toast

I never realized that I was so bad at cooking....tonight I made a pb&j with French toast. When I made the French toast, i used the same burner that I made the chicken on last night. Apparently I didn't clean it as well as I thought because halfway through cooking it caught on fire.
And the sandwich wasn't very good. Peanut butter, jelly, and French toast should not be eaten in sandwich form. Good thing I was only cooking for myself.
