I like to bake bread. This started when I was a grad student and as time passed my hobby spiralled out of control until I built a bread oven in my backyard (with a lot of help from friends). It was a two-part process: in 2004 we excavated a spot for it in the hill behind my house and built the foundation, then in 2005 we built the actual oven. The links will take you to some pictures of that process. In an earlier version of my website there were witty captions but unfortunately they have now been lost in the mists of time. Still, if you like bread and ovens you might like to take a look at the pictures.
