Fridays are bao days. It's official. My friend and I are preparing for something amazing. The details are kind of a secret, as we plan to make this into a completely viable venture next year and start looking for investors, but in the mean time, we are perfecting our bao recipe. We are starting with a basic, traditional pork bao, and becoming more and more creative as we master the process.
Try one was good. It was good, but not great. The dough was a little hard and the filling was a little too sweet.
Try two is where things got crazy. Alterations happened. Notes were taken. The bao dough was soft and heavenly, and the filling was delicious. So tasty.
Did I mention that any extra dough was used to produce Nutella bao? Best idea.
Are you guys experimenting on anything in particular? You should tell me of your great sciences.
Also who maybe wants to go to Milwaukee for New Years and do crazy shit in my apartment? I need to return north to pay some rent and check up on things, and thought it would be a neat idea. Give me opinions!

New Years, new years... Well, I'll have to see if there are any glaring family things that need to be attended to and let you know. What I do know for a fact is this: I do not want to sit in someone's basement on New Year's, or some other equivalent--say, a couch. Or a room with a TV, where we do something dumb like watch the countdowns in states that are not even in our time zone. That is the most boring thing ever. Rachel, Jen, and I went bowling last year, and that was fun. I am not fond of sitting around, you see. I am also not fond of alcohol, so sitting around drinking would also bore me to tears. So if you would be kind enough to let me know what "crazy shit" entails--games, maybe? experimental baking? all good things!--and I'll know if I should consider going or not :D
ReplyDeleteMy New Years tradition involves watching the Twilight Zone and eating snacks for 24 hours (OH THE HUMANITY) but I'd be game for partying with you instead. I can drive any wayward Itasca-ans and can bring ze liquor if you'd like!
ReplyDeleteWe can do everything good in Milwaukee. There are a few good museums around here if those interest you at all. Also The Domes. And a lot of good eats. Milwaukee is pretty cultural.
ReplyDeleteSo we could do some exploring earlier in the day and some video games and baking in the night. Or whatever, really. I am open to anything.
Adventures followed by video games/baking sounds promising.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what my plans are as of yet. I'm getting pulled in 4 directions and I am just trying to make it through Thanksgiving. But I will do my damnedest to be with you guys.
ReplyDeleteNutella Bao sounds magical. As do adventures.
