Sunday

It's been one of those lazy Sundays, filled with baking and (online) newspaper reading.

For all you North Americans just waking up, here is a recipe for Orange Brioche to get your day started. No photo today, the ones pictured in the recipe are much nicer looking than mine. Didn't stop us from eating almost all of them, though. I didn't have any oranges, so I left that out, but I did add some chocolate chips to about half of the buns, for Erik. I also didn't have fresh yeast, and the conversion I found online suggested 10g of the dried stuff. Seemed like a lot, but you can't really go wrong with too much yeast, right? I think they also might have benefited from a second rise.

And some interesting articles from around the web for you to peruse:
No Apologies From the Boss of a No-Frills Airline is humorous (but accurate?) account of the CEO of RyanAir.

Out of the Kitchen, On to the Couch is an interesting (and long) article about how food television is doing just that.

The Calorie Delusion: Why Food Labels Are Wrong is a fascinating account of the science behind how food is digested, and what actually determines the amount of calories your body extracts from a food.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
