They say “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” well bakeries aren’t either! Before we can turn on mixers, fire up ovens, refrigerate our ingredients and finally pull loaves from the oven, a lot of less “glamorous” work had to be done. Over the last two weeks, with the radio to entertain us, we cleaned refrigerators, scrubbed pots, fixed mixers and put racks together. Assembling racks might sound easy, but it turned out to be a Mensa test in spatial ability. Let’s just say that the next Ikea table I put together will be a breeze! Now we’re finally done, everything is clean and ready for the Rabbi to kosherize and then we’ll be on to baking. We’re so close, in fact I’m composing this blog entry in our new back office. When you’re a part of making something a reality, the reality becomes far more real. Now I know how those Romans felt when Rome was finally built!
