I'm still not going to admit to being bored. Not a word in MY vocabulary...
......however... I was sort of casting about for something to entertain me yesterday ...
... took a look at some old GBBO recipes. (not that I can do any baking) Love that show. Have lots of episodes on PVR..but have watched them too many times. I noticed a thing called Paul Hollywood City Bakes on Youtube...with, yes, you guessed it, Paul.
I feel as though I know him well enough to call him just Paul.. I talk to him all the time I'm watching the episodes. "Come on Paul, don't be so mean"... or "don't look at him like that"..."what?" .."NO"! "jeez Paul"!...you know, kind of like that... so, we're on a first name basis.
Anyway....the first one I watched was him in Munich...and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They are pretty long at 46 minutes, but really fun and also interesting. You get to see the people and places and learn the history surrounding the areas and the baking. He bakes his own take on a local "goody". He's very personable, seems to genuinely enjoy himself doing the show and you learn plenty from it.
Today I'm learning about baking in Iceland....Reykjavik....who knew?
I wonder how many of them there are? My new fav thing to do..........seeing as nobody is sending me cards, letters, chocolates, jokes, etc........
Wish I could be baking....................sigh..............................................................................
