A day in the life of...

I was in the Torino zone today!
  1. Woke up at 6am...dozed til 10am!
  2. Muesli and a tea
  3. Emails to the world
  4. Walked to markets a different way than I normally go to see some other stuff
  5. Bought fruit and vege
  6. On the lookout for a thief riding a silver bike they stole at the train station...didn't see one
  7. Had a beautiful onion and cheese 'white pizza' at a shop near the markets
  8. Focaccia Milanese, coke and a machiato at another cafe in the city and read the Financial Times.
  9. Headed home
  10. Made a coffee and wanted to start baking but didn't have yeast.
  11. Started reading: My years with General Motors sunbaking on the back verandah in the sun
  12. Bought some yeast when the supermarket opened. Opening hours are 8am - midday and then 4pm til 8pm. Bless the unions!
  13. Made the starter dough for baguettes (needs to stay over night ready for making final dough and baking tomorrow)
  14. Tried making piadina but not the same as the lebanese lady in the markets. Needs to be made with lard not olive oil and almost layered like pastry. This recipe would be great to make burettos at home rather than buy them.
  15. Made pizza dough.
  16. Did some sketching while it rose.
  17. Made proscuitto, mozarella pizza and also a margherita pizza. The dough was amazing - finally think i've cracked the code. The right recipe helps!
  18. Did some more sketching
  19. Cleaned everything in the kitchen and organised laundry
  20. Had a shower (it's very hot here still!)
  21. More emails and reading papers online
  22. Contact insurance company and ask what my options are
  23. Read book
  24. Sleep

Tough day at the office....
