  • English Comp 1,, Pastry Science with Chef Tom Beckman
    Jan 6 2025

    Hi everyone Episode 3 is here! the last pre Disney post, scheduled to come out Monday the 6th. next episode may be the 20th as we strive to get back into the swing with school.

    This episode is all about English class, and pastry science. may post some bonus content like the microphone picking up my stomach growling in a different recording. Also may include my cut rant on why colleges should structure English comp classes to emphasize the importance of English composition vs how they are structuring it to be some what emotional.

    picture used is the pastry science text book! there are free links to it elsewhere, great book to understand how baking works! May I also suggest purchasing this book. When we have some extra cash, i do plan on purchasing a hard copy.

    Better sound quality still have some weird glitchy noises. Visit Chefinstructortom.com for information on baker's percentage and math. this is also found in this book! also he does have some recipes posted.

    this is the link to the article mentioned for my English Class Good read!

    Episode 2 is here! sorry for the sound quality again, for whatever reason no matter what i did there is some weird distortion through out. hopefully next episode will be better. This episode is about the actual buying and selling of houses looking for houses in the suburbs, also a little on Kendall's orientation. Constructive criticisms always welcome.
