Fancy Toast #1

Steak and jammy egg toast! (or what’s left in the refrigerator)

Ok, I don’t think I need to go into super detail on how to make the fancy toast. But here are some general directions:

Make some Jammy Eggs

Make some Pesto

I used leftover steak from Friday night

I bought a sourdough loaf from a local bakery

Toast the bread, layer the ingredients, then add some coarse salt and pepper!

I’m more than halfway through my monthly baking class with Christina Tosi. This class is intense. The cookies were easy to develop- we are on pie… WOW. It’s been a headache. There are so many options that I’m getting lost in the thought process. It’s not cool. I’m behind on the course. Only by 2 days- I basically need to come up with a pie and I’ll be good, but I am struggling. The next course is a 3 tier cake! I’m soooo excited. When my pie is done- I’ll write up a blog post on my creative and technical process.

Officially starting your own business is extremely intimidating, scary, and really fun. I wake up every morning still in shock that I made the decision. But guess what? Right now I am in charge of my day. It’s really wild. I’ve also tried to change my mindset- think in abundance, not lack. For example- there are more than enough jobs for everyone etc. It’s been difficult to shift my mindset but it’s slowly happening. I have to correct myself almost every fucking hour and what it comes down to is practice! I also remind myself, I’m still learning! Everyone is! I do not know everything but have the balls to fuck up and learn from my mistakes. It’s the only way I personally learn. Ok, enough of me convincing myself I made the right decision.

I bought a loaf of sourdough from Ad-Astra in Seaside. You are going to see a lot of fancy toast this week

As for TV- if you know me you know I like movies and TV. We have been watching silly movies. We watched Thunder Force the other night. It’s silly and amazing. I love Melissa McCarthy. OH! If you are a fan of British cult films- Withnail & I is on HBOmax. I am in heaven. It’s one of my favorite films. It’s very British.

OHHH! I’m fully vaccinated on Thursday! I took the J&J. Not sure how I feel about everything that is going on in the news, but I took it and I can’t take it back. The day after was not fun. I was in bed all day. I was totally fine by 5pm though. Let’s hope nothing bad happens to me. I do think everyone should get vaccinated and I have VERY strong opinions on why. If you are curious you can email me.

Ok, what should I make next? Any suggestions? Leave it in the comments! Even though no one ever comments. Blogs are weird.
