It’s a Bûche, not a log!
I must also declare at this stage that I have.. hum… quite a sweet tooth. So it is no surprise then that when Christmas arrives, my thoughts turn to my childhood treats and one of them in particular…
The French ‘Bûche de Noël ’ which is the traditional Christmas cake in France and only available for a few days so there can be no cheating during the rest of the year (Unlike the ‘Easter’ Hot Cross Buns).
Patisseries all over the country will transform themselves to mainly only sell this traditional cake making it irresistible not to try one before the main event.
They come in different sizes and different flavours with Chocolate being the best ones for me and they have lovely decorations, some of them you can even eat!! Do not mistake it for a yuletide cake. These are far more complex in they’re conception and taste. These are mainly made from a genoise light cake topped with smooth buttercream.
Should you feel inclined to join me, you will find many recipes online to assist you
Happy Eating
Jean-Marie

On Demand Demo - #3 Tooling Master Module
The tool master is the central repository for all things related to the production of a part through the use of reusable components such as patterns, core boxes, permanent molds, investment casting molds, and such things as trim dies, dead-heads, and rider or adapter plates.
Tooling is all about the tracking the life of the tooling, inspecting, controlling the movements, cost of the tooling including on-going costs through movement and repairs, revisions, and CAR’s or Problems.
With the introduction of the maintenance management equipment module several years ago, calibration and other quality instruments are typically now defined within that module.

We’ve Got Your Twelve O’clock
My late daddy was a bombardier on the RAF, Great Britain Royal Air Force, Lancaster bomber during WWII. Being a bombardier, he was upfront in the plane with his Norden bombsight being the bomb aimer to help liberate the world from the Axis powers. He was there on the “morning” of D-Day off the coast of France helping bombard the fortifications along the coast.
