Thanks to Mom and Abe&#8217;s prayers, it went so well. I learned so many things in just one night, and the environment is so, so much friendlier than culinary school. The chef actually told me I was fast, and when he said that, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I am certainly\u00a0<em>not<\/em> fast, but the fact that he said that confirmed to me that this environment is positive and affirming. I like it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I got free pizza! It is amazing. They cook the pizza in a wood fired oven at 1000 degrees. The finished product reminds me of pizzas I&#8217;ve eaten in Italy. The crust is impossibly thin in the middle and airy at the edges with a complexity of flavor that&#8217;s kept Abe going back to the pizza box all night.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight the restaurant owner taught me how to: make pizza dough, roll pizza dough (I am hopeless, but I hope against hope I can learn that skill), panna cotta, chocolate pudding (they BOIL their creme anglaise!! I was shocked and delighted at the efficiency!), whip cream the Pizzeria 712 way, supreme a ton of oranges and chop a couple pounds of kalamata olives. He also taught me the secret to a great streusel: 1-1-2. 1 part butter, 1 part sugar, 2 parts flour, and a pinch of cinnamon. In the process he tweaked my creaming technique.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe no one in culinary school taught me the shortcuts I learned tonight: Use cold buttermilk in the panna cotta to cut down on chilling time, creme anglaise can actually survive a full-on boil, and sugar should be mixed into the butter little by little to get optimal aeration.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough about me. Lydia got to celebrate her birthday in school today! She woke up this morning and ran into my room saying, &#8220;Mommy, I&#8217;m so excited for this day! They&#8217;re going to celebrate my birthday at preschool!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_0182.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6644\" alt=\"IMG_0182\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_0182-e1425710905905-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had my first day at Pizzeria 712 today.
