home made giant baguettes!

It was my first experience on baking baguettes. Well, it is obvious that
they are really huge and looks like normal breakfast bread but definitely
they taste like really baguettes.
A night before baking, I had to make
poolish / pre-ferment and keep it in a jar about 12 hours.
Next time
I will try to make sour-yeast which takes 5 days, and
need to be
nourished with water and flour every 12 hours which obliges a serious
responsibility
to take care of it. However I will try do my best.
As a result, people at home liked my first baguettes a lot. However the
real examination will be on July, when I met Elina again.. YAYYY!!

the best week ever!

Last week, I was in Bordeaux to visit my girlfriend. It was the best week I have ever had.


Too much sushi.

Picking coconuts for Elina.

Lots of delicious French baguettes with marmalade.
But too much sweet for breakfast.


On the weekend we went to Arcachon, 50 km far away from Bordeaux
on the Atlantic Ocean coast.


We were in the end of the continent at the end of the day.


On Sunday, in the last day of me, we rent tandem bike.
We were on the way to Sand Dune.









It is also called Sahara of Europe!

Ocean was fucking cold.

Eating stolen croissants from the hostel's breakfast. Nam namm.

Are you cool?
