Carbs. Carbs. Carbs.

Yesterday in class we talked about hearing, and some of the illusions that auditory sounds can have. I was unable to blog yesterday, so I am including a bit about yesterday in todays. In class we listened to a few different types of music, sounds, and illusions. Music and noise is used in many different ways: joy, mourning, health benefits, and even creativity. One of my favorite activities in class was listening to an auditory illusion. I think everyone should take a chance and try to listen to one of these, so I will leave a link at the end of this section for you to try if you would like. (Make sure you listen using HEADPHONES!!!) Hearing, one of the senses, is an amazing gift that God has given me and I know that I take it for granted. I learned about hearing and the physiological way of how we actually do hear noises in my anatomy class last year. The process is so intriguing and in a way complex; I know I keep going back to this, but it shows how great our God truly is!

Today in class we had one of the owners of Wealthy Street Bakery come and talk to us about bread. Okay, so I guess it was a little bit more than just bread, but that was the basic idea. She shared different methods that she used to make the bread and how yeast plays a factor in how the bread turns out. The best part was she brought us free samples! I am a sucker for free samples anyways, so this was a great day. I tried the three different types of bread that she brought and they were all amazing in different ways. The wheat bread was made with no white flour at all as well as honey, the sourdough bread was made with a special starter that was made with flour and yeast by the store owner herself, and the french bread was made with yeast; all AMAZING.

After trying out those breads we were able to try out our own breads and muffins that we each made for the class. I want to say there were about seventeen different types of breads and they literally were all so great; we have some amazing bakers in our class. I do like myself some bread, but I still can honestly say I liked every single person's entry. We had a wide variety and they appealed to all the senses: the smell of bread was heavenly walking into the classroom, the site made my mouth water, and the taste of them varied so much but they all brought out great flavors. Rachel and I made a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. I took a picture of a few of the different breads to share in no particular order.
