Pastries

So it begins.  Inspired in large part by the fabulous book, The Supper of the Lamb, by Robert Farrar Capon, I made it a life goal to learn how to make pastry.









I began this week.  This morning, I was rewarded with this breakfast:

Petit pain-au-chocolat

My pastry skills are still a work in progress, so I will wait to update you on any favorite technique or 'recipes'.  Nevertheless, I feel that I am off to a reasonably good start.
