It's official!
I'm now apprenticing to learn the art of baking and pastries at Madison Sourdough Company!
I had my first short day of training yesterday, which seemed like it flew by in only a few minutes....I've never been so excited to learn/see/knead/layout and watch so many exciting little details for what goes into the process of baking and creating pastries and breads, (particularly at this particular establishment, where every detail is fine tuned, every second counts and every baker puts their all into what they do). It's an honor to learn from people who feel such passion for their work and take pride in creating a product of such caliber and quality. For those of you have tried MSCO bread, you know what I'm talking about! For those of you who haven't, dude, you've got to try this stuff! You are missing out!!!!
I don't think I've been this excited to learn something since...well...my years playing marimba. Timing. Order. Details.....that you have to have the right feel to get it right. There's something about it that just seems to fit with my brain....it's really hard to explain, but I feel so fortunate to be excited to learn something again and be a part of something that's become incredibly important to me.....locally made, great quality bread. I know I sound like a freaking advertisement, but you would as well if you were in my shoes!!! Freaking smiling from head to toe.....that's me!
The thing is, I have a feeling I'll feel the same way a year from now...time will tell I guess...I'll keep you posted!
