Before I go on I do have a bit of a confession, I have a bit of an obsession with shoes. I have lots of pairs of shoes. I think I have more shoes than my wife does at this point. So, any chance to get a new pair of oddball shoes is pretty exciting. [...]
June 16: Quick Breads and Pies
The second week of baking class, where we cover Quick Breads (breads that are leavened via chemicals or air) and pies (if you don’t know what a pie is, you must be very sad). Another video of me more or less talking to myself about my class. A brief discussion of mixing methods and how [...]

The kicker is the fact they are both lies. But I only really want to talk about the Eristic lie for today. The Eristic lie [...]
