A Butcher, A Baker, A Candle Stick Maker

July 12, 2015 Kevin Estey

My first ever homemade, hand kneaded, Artisan Bread*.  The look out-shines the taste, although it wasn't half bad.  I just want to do better. (*The Mini Bread is a toy that my son ran and grabbed out of his cupboard the moment he saw mine come out of the oven)

I guess of the 3, I am a baker.  Well, I am drawn in the direction of baking in recent months.  There are many possible reasons for this - a history of baking with my mom as a child, a current health regime courtesy of Tim Ferriss's 4 Hour Body allots me 1 day a week of total food mayhem, a need for a creative outlet other than work, a desire to have something to share with my son who seems to enjoy both the process and the results, a strong dose of inspiration brought about by my amazingly talented wife's rediscovered creative spark. The reasons are plenty, and I will get into them in more detail in due time, but suffice it to say I did not expect this intense interest in something like this, but I'm riding the wave, and I'm enjoying it more and more.  

DoMenStic.com is a place for me to explore, explain, and dissect this and other domestic interests that may seem slightly unexpected for a man such as myself.  I realized in looking at myself and my interest in baking that there are a great deal of people around me that are pseudo-experts in the various skills often attributed to the opposite sex.  That juxtaposition is what DoMenStic.com is all about.  

It's a new age, gender lines are becoming more blurred, and I want to learn how to make a Brioche.  Let's all embrace whatever direction your interests take you.
