Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog
Sunday, March 21, 2010

For over 35 years I have experimented with baking techniques in search of the perfect loaf of bread. The journey began with proofing yeast, mixing, rising, shaping and more rising. Starting in the morning, the bread would be ready for baking by 2 or 3pm.

Then along came a book where the author added vitamin C to all the recipes which never seemed to make much difference to the finished product.

My next adventure was with sourdough, making a starter (a 3 day procedure) using it and replenishing it. This made really good bread with no added yeast (Tassajara Bread Book) and awesome sourdough pancakes as well.

Always on the look-out for ways to improve and make things easier, I stumbled upon a book entitled "Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day."

The procedure was definitely easy-peasy.
Ingredients are mixed and after a 2-hour rise, placed in the fridge.
Then on baking day a hunk of dough gets cut-off, shaped, brought to room temperature (90 minutes) and baked.

Using only spelt flour, I must admit to having doubts about the outcome but the end-product was fabulous. Baked at a high temperature of 450 degrees C for 30 minutes produced an Artisan type loaf, very crispy on the outside yet soft and moist on the inside.

Hats-off to the authors(Jeff Herzberg & Zoe Francois) for coming up with an easy way to make such delicious bread. I look forward to trying some of the other recipes in their book.



It passed the taste test!

As we cycled to the library this morning, a couple of encounters made me realize once again how people tend to sabotage themselves with their beliefs and speech.

The first, a lady, came up to me as I parked my bike. She said, “You’re not worried about just leaving your bike here? Aren’t you afraid someone will steal it?”
Two words, "worried" & "afraid", gave me an insight into her life. Both powerful words that will draw more of the same to her.
She then proceeded to tell me how she was always afraid to leave her bike because of the expensive Bionx kit.
I explained the principles of the Law of Attraction and how she was likely to draw the very circumstances she was so afraid of if she kept maintaining that thought pattern. The blank stare told me she didn’t get it so I told her about a security code she could enter into the Bionx system to disable it.

The second encounter was with another cyclist outside a grocery store, who wanted to know about recumbent bikes. Later, we met him again as we waited in a very busy intersection to head home.
He gave us the url for a website and said to be sure to look at the "10 Ways of How Not to Get Hit By a Car" article. My first thought was that the best way is to get that thought right out of your head.

I immediately turned onto a sidewalk and towards a path less travelled.
Knowing how these energies work it made me uncomfortable to see where his thoughts were going while standing in a place with so much traffic.

Awareness of these principles of Universal Law allow us to use them for our benefit instead of for our detriment. However, the awareness first needs to be there before we can use these timeless laws.
