Wow, wow, wow and wow.

I LOVE this client although we've never even met!

Back story...I was referred to her by a friend here, and as it turns out, we share an alma mater. Immediate connection. Her daughter and my sister also went to Vassar, so it's legacy connections as well.

When I asked her about including the sugar in the brioche, she emailed her son-in-law (married to said daughter), and he told her the sugar is really about feeding the yeast and that it should be okay because it's pretty much gone in the final product. Excellent explanation, but so much better to hear from someone in the family than me.

Happy dance!!!

Of course, this is why I drink wine.....

Amy,

I have to admit that these threads make me glad that I'm not trying to make a delicious feast that twists around these chopped-esque challenges. I think I'd get frustrated. I guess every job has issues to be overcome.

I wonder why the daughter can't have sugar substitutes. If she's diabetic, she should be able to have them, no? If she's not diabetic, then I just don't get it.

I also don't get how you can love food but not like a cheese course for dessert. But hey, that's just me.
