The solution to the holidays in this country is pretty clever, being it a given day in the week instead of a given date like in my home country. Except for Christmas and New Years, one knows pretty well that there will be so many Mondays or Thursdays off every year, no matter what year it is. And, no one is going to rob you of a favorite day off. Our department somehow decided to "kind of work" today since true science knows no holidays, and so did the dentist. Surviving the seminar at noon was not so hard and afterward, since it was officially a day off, I took the doggies for a nice noon walk... I even actually managed to do a little bit of work before going to the dentist, who decided that there was no reason to drill into this tooth, contrary to his colleague from last week, and so I got back to work sooner than planned and managed to motivate myself to even continue with some work. By five o'clock I had enough and since it was still actually a day off, I did not feel bad about going home at five and with the hope of tiring the two hairy barking creatures, I took them for another walk. It was light outside for a while longer and they did have a new opportunity to sniff some new pee marks and even that last-night-vomit under that tree in the corner of the park. Although that looked a bit smaller than at noon, apparently some other doggies had a chance to have fun with it in the meantime. It did not really exhausted our girls like yesterday second walk did, but I felt better about doing something for them instead of sitting in front of the PC and browsing the net.
I bought a durum flour this past Saturday and so I will give one more try to the Pan Pugliese-Laramiese. I decided to double the recipe again, especially since it keeps well. It is a two-day process again, since it uses pre-ferment, or biga, as any good bread does. I am curious about the flavor. Here is the crumb photo of the first Pugliese-Laramiese:
And here is the cut ciabatta, which I might have not succeeded 100%.
