A new (first) beginning!

Greetings!

I am starting over.  Though I have not really started at all, I have decided to scrap virtually every idea that I have had and begin anew.  Starting with bringing back some of my old hobbies, like photography and graphic arts.  I have also recently started learning more about film editing, and movie making.  I especially like creating special FX (matting, keying, etc.).  I hope to use this forum to share some of the work I have done, both in the past, and currently.

Along the way I will share many stories through pictures and video.  I hope to help, inspire, and be criticized (constructively please!)  The best way to learn is to teach, so I will be doing some of that as well.  I am a self taught baker, with a "knack" for breads.  Over time I will share my recipes, most of which are based on European recipes.  I hope you will enjoy them.

I really just wanted to jot down a quick note about this blog, hoping to attract some visitors, followers, and the curious.  I know that this is not much of a beginning post, but...we all need to start somewhere.

Here's a picture to get things started.

This is a picture of my Herbed Twist bread.  It was taken just after it came out of the oven.  This is based on an Italian Stirato recipe, to which I added Basil, Dill, and some Oregano.  I gave the bread a twist before rising.  This has become one of my family's favorites.

As always...Have a better day!
