Organizers say today's March for Life rally in the nation's capital may bring more anti-abortion activists to the streets than last year's estimated 400,000. By midday, a large crowd was gathered in the National Mall, listening to speeches from former GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum and others and preparing to march toward the Capitol and the Supreme Court.
"We've seen lots of markers that would show that," Jeanne Monahan, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, tells NBC Washington. "Our hotel block sold out a month in advance of what it's ever sold out, and we've had more media requests than ever before, so we expect really record-breaking crowds."
As Washington's WTOP reports, anti-abortion activists from across the nation are coming for the march that commemorates the 1973Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The station adds that:
"The March for Life march is traditionally held on Jan. 22 — the anniversary of Roe v. Wade — but this year, the 57th presidential inauguration caused the National Park Service to schedule the march to occur on Jan. 25. ...
"On Friday morning, a youth rally is expected to host about 18,000 demonstrators in the Verizon Center, according to the Archdiocese of Washington. Groups will join the demonstration on the National Mall at noon for a second rally prior to the march. During this portion, marchers hear from speakers, congressional leaders and anti-abortion advocates. ...
"At about 1:30 p.m., the march departs, proceeding north on Constitution Avenue until it passes the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill, where the marchers disband."
We'll watch for news of the rally and follow up on it later today.
In the meantime, here's a related post from earlier this week in the Shots blog:
-- 'Roe V. Wade' Turns 40, But Abortion Debate Is Even Older
There have been gatherings of those who support abortion rights this week in Washington as well, including a candlelight vigil organized by the National Organization of Women on Tuesday in front of the Supreme Court.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
In general Daylilies are an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. They are easy to grow, nearly disease- and pest-free, and able to survive drought, uneven sunlight, and poor soil.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. By combining early, mid-season, late blossoming varieties, and repeat bloomers you can have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall.
When to Plant Daylilies
- Plant daylilies in the spring as soon as soil can be worked until early fall, at least 6 weeks before the first frost.
Choosing and Preparing a Planting Site
- Although daylilies will survive in less-than-ideal conditions, daylilies thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full to light shade. Select a spot in your garden that receives at least 6 hours of sun per day.
- Soil should be slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0).
- Don't plant near trees and shrubs that will compete for moisture and nutrients.
- To increase organic matter, add aged manure or compost to the soil before planting.
How to Plant Daylilies
- Dig a hole wide enough for the roots to be spread out.
- The crown of the plant (where roots and leaves meet) should be buried about 1 inch deep.
- Fill in soil, lightly packing it down around the plant.
- Water until the soil is well saturated.
- Larger plants get established faster and produce more blooms quicker. We suggest not separating fan groupings below 3 fans when establishing new clump.
How to Care for Daylilies
Daylilies require little to no care and can even survive with neglect but if you want these flowers to thrive and perform at their best, here's how to give them a little TLC.
- Water newly planted daylilies once a week until established.
- Daylilies are fairly hardy and drought tolerant so they can survive without watering. However, they prefer about an inch of water per week; normal rainfall will supply much of that amount. If you're suffering from a dry spell or live in a drier climate, water them and they will reward you with more blooms.
- Add mulch around the plant to keep it moist and to help minimize weeding.
- Daylilies do not require fertilization as long as the soil is reasonably fertile. However, you can encourage stronger bloom performance with a little general purpose fertilizer (10-10-10) once a year in early spring as new daylily top grow emerges. Spread a handful at the base of each daylily clump and water if dry. If you wish, you could fertilize daylilies a second time after they are finished blooming to help your plants multiply faster in the future.
- Deadheading is not necessary but you can remove spent blooms to prevent seed production and to encourage more blooming. Just snip off their blossoms as you see them wilting. Most daylilies do not self-sow; you need to divide daylilies to create new plants (see how below).
- Once all of the flowers have blossomed on a daylily scape, you can cut the entire scape back to the ground right away or in the fall or not at all. If you do not cut it back, it will simply turn brown and remain standing.
- However, in early spring, remove the dead foliage from the previous year's growth before new growth resumes in the spring.
- Add aged manure or compost to the soil around the plants in the spring.
Dividing and Transplanting Daylilies
Daylilies can be aggressive spreaders and will likely require dividing at some point (usually every 3 to 5 years). In addition to controlling their spread, dividing will also reinvigorate plants, resulting in better and more frequent blooms.
Dividing daylilies:
- Though dividing can be done any time the soil is workable, it is best done right after the daylily has finished blooming. Note: The plants need at least 6 weeks to get re-established before winter.
- Dig up the entire root clump.
- Remove as much soil from the roots as possible. Soaking the roots in a bucket of water helps to get rid of excess soil.
- Locate the crown of the plant. Starting from the outer edge, break it into smaller clumps (usually 3 to 4 per plant). Each clump should have healthy roots and at least a few leaves.
- Cut the leaves back to approximately one third of their original length (5 to 6 inches, generally).
- Replant and water thoroughly.

Vallejo Model Air 314 17ml Seaplane Gray Matt Acrylic
The Vallejo Model Air 314 17ml Seaplane Gray Matt Acrylic Paint is just one of many colours from the Model Air range. Vallejo Model Color Acrylic Paints range offers a wide selection of colours pre-thinned for use in an airbrush.
Colours can be mixed with one another, diluted with water, Model Air Thinner or Varnish, according to the effect desired, but we recommend the use of Model Air Thinner since this product conserves the properties of the colours. Model Air adheres excepcionally well to all surfaces. The adhesion of Model Air to resin models, plastics, steel and white metal is extraordinary. Once protected with varnish, (Gloss, Matte or Satin) Model Air can be overpainted with solvent based enamels or oilcolours: they withstand cleaning with turpentine and even a light wash with alcohol. The resistance to abrasion of the colours, once varnished, is superior to any other waterbased acrylic.

Another sector is engineering, which is a tough field that receives insufficient attention. Other work prospects exist for students studying general science.
Most people believe that general art students are either afraid of arithmetic or simply lazy. What they don't realize is that this course includes a lot of math as well as a lot of reading. It is tough, but when handled seriously, it pays dividends.

This course offers electives in English and French literature, economics, geography, history, government, and religious studies.
The skills and information gained by studying general arts can be used in a variety of ways. While it is a reading course, it also requires a lot of practice so that the skills and knowledge gained are not wasted.
Law, writing, teaching, communication, accounting, editing, nursing linguist, and other professions are among them. It will all be determined by the BECE grade and the tertiary institution.
The Business course is another course that most students detest. Mostly because it requires some calculation and follows a few other rules.
Accounting, Business Management, Principles of Costing, Elective Math, French, and Economics are some of the Business elective disciplines.
When you study business, you are known to be automatically sent to the bank. Contrary to popular belief, there are other business-related jobs that one might pursue.
Business law, administration, business counselors, professors, CEOs of firms, bank managers, and a variety of other professions are among them. People are frequently locked on one side because they are unwilling to expand their wings and explore their potential.
Visual arts are one discipline that is seen as substandard and intended for those who do not excel academically. It is a sad thing to think like that about such a wonderful education, and it must be overcome.
Because of ignorance and lack of exposure, this course is labeled as such and graded incorrectly.
People who took this course are succeeding big time all over the world. It is extremely practical from the start and extremely demanding in the job market.
General Knowledge in Arts, English Literature, Graphic Design, Textile, French, Economics, Basketry, Leatherwork, Sculpture, and Ceramics are some of the elective disciplines available in this program. Others might have been overlooked.
You can become a Graphic Designer, Multimedia person, Sculpture Works, videographer, Filmmaker, and so on, depending on what you study at university and the expertise you gain.
Home Economics is a very practical study that may be quite profitable if done and studied properly. Management in Living, Food and Nutrition, Arts, Textiles, Economics, French, and some General Knowledge in Arts are some of the elective subjects available in this course.
Students who complete this course can go on to work as nutritionists, nurses, interior designers, caterers, restaurant managers, and home managers, among other professions.
Agriculture is another field of study available in senior high school. General Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Chemistry, and Elective Maths are examples of elective courses.
Entrepreneurship, agricultural researcher, agricultural adviser, professional farmer, and other job pathways are all related to these courses.
Another course that requires a lot of handwork and practice is this one. Woodwork, technical drawing, Chemistry, Elective Math, Building Construction, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Technology, Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and other disciplines are likely to be covered in this course.
After reading Technical programming at the SHS, one can accomplish a lot of things. IT technicians, professionals Welders, Architecture, Building Constructors, Engineers, Designers of Robots and Other Machines, Electricians, Managers, and Ministers are just a few examples of those who will benefit from further education.
It's important to know that you don't have to limit yourself just because you took a specific course in high school. You can always explore and expand your wings to see what you can accomplish.
However, with some of the abilities learned in these classes, any job route can be pursued and successful.
It's worth noting that the senior high school course of study isn't always the most crucial. This is because a student can teach a General Science course in senior high school but then transfer to a university to pursue Business courses.
All that matters in Senior High School is your seriousness. Make sure you study hard for your WASSCE and earn a decent grade. This will ensure that you get an excellent tertiary education.

Shania Twain, Las Vegas Debut: Superstar Takes Herd of Horses Down the Strip
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Country music star Shania Twain arrived on horseback Wednesday for a two-year headline gig at Caesars Palace, parading up the Las Vegas Strip with a herd of 40 horses.
Promoters called the event a stampede, but hooves were kept to a steady, slow gait by nine wranglers who escorted Twain to a reception crowd of several hundred people in front of the famous Caesars fountains. Dozens more people watched from the sidewalk of the Flamingo resort across Las Vegas Boulevard.
"We could either lose a few hundred dollars inside or come out and see what kind of spectacle she puts on," said Steve Huffman, a UPS manager from Charleston, W.Va., who watched with his wife, Debi, from an overhead pedestrian walkway.
The couple was in town for his 52nd birthday and learned through a Twitter message that Twain planned to arrive on a horse. They identified Twain's hit, "Man, I Feel Like a Woman," as the country singer rode up the street, and they said they'll plan to see the show next year.
"Still The One" blasted on speakers as Twain stepped onto a temporary outdoor stage near fountains made famous by events including daredevil Evel Knievel's motorcycle crash during a stunt on New Year's Eve 1967.
To some, Twain's arrival echoed singer Frank Sinatra's heralded arrival on a camel at the old Dunes hotel in September 1955.
Twain's show titled "Shania: Still the One" opens Dec. 1 at the nearly 4,300-seat Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The venue also hosts entertainers Celine Dion, Elton John, Jerry Seinfeld and others.
Twain, 47, is touted as one of the best-selling female country artists of all time. The Canadian singer-songwriter has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide.
Las Vegas police, including several on horseback, diverted traffic on the busy casino corridor for about 30 minutes for the spectacle.

Marathon, Florida, United States – Didier, you have made what was just a small vision into a vision of life!!! I will forever be grateful at what you told and showed me. I now realize I am in a position to become a leader and enjoy the rest of my life exploring the natures of man. I have discovered that we can indeed make an impact on the 20 somethings, 30 somethings and beyond. I feel humbled by the opportunity to share history and dreams with you. Yes, next year we'll give a few travellers the time of their life in Croatia!!! As I had a wonderful time. Flexibility is what makes Givers like us worthy of receiving!
Csongrád, Hungary – Cast Away offered me the experience I was longing for. Far away from the noise of the city, in the middle of an unforgettable setting, I got hooked in an instant. As fantastic as the pictures are they still do not give back the breathtaking reality nature offers you here. Lodging here for a week in April got me back to basics and I could recharge my batteries to the full. I highly recommend this place to people who appreciate the humbleness of simple and clean living, love adventure and decide to surround themselves with the luxury of untouched nature. Thank you Didier for letting me have this experience at your truly wonderful place.
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States – Didier is the man! He is really a great guy and an incredible host and really cares about bringing people from all over the world together. He gave people rides around the island, showed us out in town and just made sure we all had an all around good time. Of course, it helps that his place in Hvar is a travellers' paradise, just meters from an almost private beautiful pebble beach on the Adriatic. He is a heck of a windsurfer too and is a gorgeous man, very pleasant to the eyes!
London, United Kingdom – Wow! What an experience to meet Didier and his idyllic place! Using rain water collected from the few rainy months for your shower makes you value every single drop and realize we take this wonderful resource for granted; or the fridge run by gas as there's no electricity. Didier welcomed me with open arms amongst his guests from all over the world in a gathering or just staring at the stars from the hammock. Didier is friendly, inspiring, generous, a dreamer yet aware of social and environmental matters. Leaving all that to stay in a hostel in Hvar town afterwards was shocking and I longed for that peace again…
Sartrouville, Ile-de-France, France – My experience at Didier's place was like the most intense stay during my trip in Croatia. It was absolutely exotic in a way of life I just adore: simple, in connexion with nature, worldly (does that word exists?) open minded… Didier's project is amazing and I felt so motivated while staying there, like if everything could get better and that we CAN make a difference… There was so much positives vibes, I still feel it now that I'm back in Paris. Merci pour tout Didier, j'espère vraiment pouvoir revenir et aider à l'aménagement et au fonctionnement de Cast Away! Bonne fin d'été à toi et à ta super crew 🙂
Washington, DC, United States – Didier works harder than most people do during the everyday grind. I've never seen anyone so committed & passionate to share their home with total strangers, especially when it takes so much work to bring all this people back and forth to his little slice of heaven. Caring, concerned, stoic and clever. I loved staying with and traveling with this awesome Belgian dude and being part of his awesome community. Make sure you contact me when you're going around the Americas next year. I'll be somewhere and will definitely want to show you a good time wherever that is.
Kowloon East, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China – The place is a little far out and therefor truly a paradise with few people on the beach and many starry nights. Didier is superb! I thought he could only entertain a couple of guests at a time but he did a record of around 20. Everyone is well taken care off. Frankly, I am not sure if he had a holiday though.. All the back and forth picking up guests, fixing all the broken pieces. Anyway, I am sure many of the guests and myself appreciate your generosity! Wish you the best for your upcoming travelling. I am sure we will meet again !!
Taipei, Taiwan – I felt very nice and calm around Didier, yet very willing to share feelings and stories of life. I felt very easy and comfortable staying with him. And at the same time, there's so much to explore out of him… the DJ life, filming life, traveling life, dreaming building life… there's just so much to know about him and at the same time he's calm and humble that if only if you ask he'd answer you with something amazing. Beside this very nice host, I also enjoyed the very nice room and cool car rides. Thanks Didier, I enjoyed this short stay very much. I wish you the best and hope to see you very soon!
Manchester, United Kingdom – Great community! We love Cast Away! We were lucky enough to be surrounded by great people from all over the world. The setting is beautiful and relaxed and the beach huts are comfortable, warm and homely. A highlight was the dinners. We would cook individually and share, and the best night was when we clubbed together and two of us cooked for the group. Great food, great drinks and great conversation. If you want to mix with people, make new friends and enjoy the simple things then it's the perfect place for you. If you want to be alone the entire time and like your creature comforts, look elsewhere.

Maybe she reads fashion blogs and is telling us to shut up about those annoying blazers. Maybe she despises us. WAIT. no. must.think.happy.thoughts.*TWITCH.*
Oh right, Comme. Ahem.
Most of the rainbow's colors were well-represented, without being a technicolor cluster of grossfest. Prints, too. Lots of polka dots, the Comme des Garcons specialty, of course...
Beautiful black pieces, beautiful white pieces...sherbet hair that reminds me of SS '96...
Harnesses to balance out the very exposing, vulnerable nightgown-esque dresses.
It seems like the majority of labels suffering due to the economy (which is...all of them) have either been little-by-little letting it get the better of their creativity, or are trying to fool us into thinking they're ~totes chill by presenting a collection where the quality lies in the styling, setting, or loudness of the show's music as opposed to the...let's see, what was the point of Fashion Week again? Oh, right, clothes. How unexpected that Comme des Garcons -- usually, a reasonably dark label -- is of the only brands to show a mildly humorous (read: not meaning gimmicky or stupidly ironic) collection this season. Even if this wasn't the collection's intention, the patch work-y tops and off-white, look-like-they-got-pulled-out-from-the-attic dresses* make me want to use the recession as an opportunity to be more creative and not an excuse to resort to the easiest ideas. WHOA, whoa, guys, Comme des Garcons was INSPIRING for the billionth time?! How unexpected! Seriously though, the time has come to deflate the Strong Shoulder. Unless it's made out of leather steel, of course.
*which will look SO RAD with the yohji attic dresses!

Most people think that all financial planners are "certified," but this isn't true. Anyone can claim to be a "financial planner." Only those who have fulfilled the certification and renewal requirements of CFP Board can display the CFP® certification marks.
Individuals certified by CFP Board have taken the extra step to demonstrate their professionalism by voluntarily submitting to the rigorous CFP® certification process that includes demanding education, examination, experience and ethical requirements. These standards are called "the four E's," and they are four important reasons why the financial planning practitioner you select should display the CFP® certification marks.
When selecting a financial planner, you need to feel confident that the person you choose to help you plan for your future is competent and ethical. The CFP® certification can help to provide that sense of confidence by allowing only those who meet the following requirements the right to use the CFP® certification marks.
Education: CFP® professionals must develop their theoretical and practical financial planning knowledge by completing a comprehensive course of study at a college or university offering a financial planning curriculum approved by CFP Board. Other options for satisfying the education component include submitting a transcript review or previous financial planning-related coursework to CFP Board for review and credit, or showing the attainment of certain professional designations or academic degrees.
Examination: CFP® practitioners must pass a comprehensive two-day, six-hour CFP® Certification Examination that tests their ability to apply financial planning knowledge in an integrated format. Based on regular research of what planners do, the exam covers the financial planning process, tax planning, employee benefits and retirement planning, estate planning, investment management and insurance.
Experience: CFP® professionals must have three years' minimum experience in the financial planning process prior to earning the right to use the CFP® certification marks. As a result, CFP® practitioners possess financial counseling skills in addition to financial planning knowledge.
Ethics: As a final step to certification, CFP® practitioners agree to abide by a strict code of professional conduct, known as CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, which sets forth their ethical responsibilities to the public, clients and employers. CFP Board also performs a background check during this process, and each individual must disclose any investigations or legal proceedings related to their professional or business conduct.
Through the Code of Ethics, CFP® practitioners agree to act fairly and diligently when providing you with financial planning advice and services, putting your interests first. The Code of Ethics states that CFP® practitioners are to act with integrity, offering you professional services that are objective and based on your needs. They are required to provide you with information about their sources of compensation and conflicts of interest in writing.
Once certified, CFP® practitioners are required to maintain technical competence and fulfill ethical obligations. Every two years, they must complete a minimum 30 hours of continuing education to stay current with developments in the financial planning profession and better serve clients. Two of these hours are spent studying or discussing CFP Board's Code of Ethics or Practice Standards. In addition to the biennial continuing education requirement, all CFP® practitioners voluntarily disclose any public, civil, criminal or disciplinary actions that may have been taken against them during the previous two years as part of the renewal process.
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. owns the certification marks CFP®, Certified Financial Planner®, and in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements.

Hammer Apothecary Collection
In 2002, the Museum received a group of more than 100 objects from the Joseph J. Hammer Collection through a gift of his son, Roy A. Hammer. In his life, Hammer built an extraordinary collection of tin-glazed earthenware apothecary vessels (variously known as majolica, delft, and faience) and other objects associated with the pharmacist's trade. Although primarily Italian objects, France, England, The Netherlands, and other countries are also represented in the collection, which spans the 16th to the 18th century. Made as functional vessels to house medicinal substances and often labeled with prescribed remedies, many of these wares were decorated by important artists of the time. With beautifully painted imagery drawn from mythology, classical sources, science, folklore, religion, and politics, these designs offer a treasure trove of visual culture.

It's challenges like this I truly love. Flaky pastry filled with a sensual filling of chocolate pastry cream and tart raspberries. This month the adorable Kelly of Sass & Veracity and brilliant Ben of What's Cooking? got us turning and flipping over a buttery layer of Danish pastry.
I have to say this - I am glad that I have been in the Daring Baker group for over a year now, because if I was not I would have been doing one of my Voodoo dances I normally save for these kinds of challenges!
I remember my second challenge had me completely stressed. Who remembers the Gateau Saint Honoré? This challenge had me biting my finger nails and hitting my head against my trusted rolling pin for deciding to join a baking group. My second challenge, and I had to conquer 3 (out of 4) tough components that makes up the great Gateau! All 3 of which I had never made prior to that challenge!
Yes - puff pastry was one of those components. Looking back I kind of giggle now - because anyone who has made their own puff pastry will nod their heads in agreement when I say - one never goes back to the store-bought stuff. Homemade puff pastry is a lot of work - but it is so rewarding that even the best store-bought pastry cannot compete.
Since that challenge, I do often make my own puff pastry. I make huge batches and freeze them and am always surprised how fast it goes. Knowing that there is lovely homemade puff pastry in the freezer only makes me want to make more delicious pastries with it. It's great to have around - defrost overnight, smother with Nutella or jam in the morning and bake for a few minutes and we have a lovely crispy breakfast or snack for Soeren's lunchbox.
When this month's challenge was announced, surprisingly I was not phased out! Kelly and Ben chose the Danish Braid from from Sherry Yard's The Secrets of Baking.
Danish dough belongs to the family of butter-laminated or layered dough, with puff pastry being the ultimate. While the Danish dough is sweet and is yeast-leavened, puff pastry is not. The process of making Danish dough is less complex than that of puff pastry, but equally as important to achieve best results, and a great starting place to begin to learn about laminated doughs in general. Danish dough is extremely versatile, and once made can be used for a variety of baked goods. The possibilities are endless.
The guidelines for the challenge were quite easy:
- Use the recipe as written to make Danish dough and create at least one Danish Braid. The recipe will make two full braids unless we chose to make only half the dough.
- We were to fill the Danish Braid with the apple filling provided by Kelly and Ben and/or any other filling as long as it was something we made ourselves from scratch.
We had a few choices to modify the recipe:
- The dough ingredients include ground cardamom and orange zest. Cardamom is traditional in Scandinavian breads, but if it was cost prohibitive, or if there were dietary restrictions, we could leave it out or replace it with something else. We could omit the orange zest or choose another type of citrus to flavor the dough.
- The method or style of our braid was our choice. We could vary the width of the dough strips, type of edging, or angle of cuts.
- Often, a glaze, nuts, or sugar are used as toppings. We could choose to use any or all of these, or others we found interesting.
- We could use one or more fillings such as fresh berries, pastry cream, preserves or jams, curds.
- If there's a way to try something savory with the extra dough, then why not?
For my braids I chose to make a rich chocolate pastry cream using the recipe from my sugar daddy ;-) and paired it with the fruity freshness of raspberries. The pastry cream is something I make very often. It's simply exquisite and a breeze to whip up. Often I will make the pastry cream as a dessert and serve it as the world's best chocolate pudding! And when I do - I am the World's best mummy!
I left out the orange zest in the dough but kept the cardamom, as I find chocolate and raspberries pair well with cardamom. You will find the recipe here for the chocolate pastry cream as I made it to fill my braid, however, I have also included the recipe for the original filling - Apple filling. This way if you do decide to make the full amount of the dough you can give both fillings try.
You will be seeing plenty of Danish braids with several unique and excellent filling ideas today. So I hope you enjoy the Daring Bakers June challenge across the blogesphere.
Danish Braid
from Sherry Yard's The Secret of Baking
Printable version of recipe here.
- Laminated dough – is layered dough created by sandwiching butter between layers of dough
- Detrempe – ball of dough
- Beurrage – butter block
- Turn – each "fold & roll" of the dough produces a single turn in a 3-step process where the dough is folded exactly like a business letter in 3 columns. Each single turn creates 3 layers with this method.
Makes 2-1/2 pounds dough
For the dough (Detrempe)
1 ounce fresh yeast or 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup sugar
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 large eggs, chilled
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
For the butter block (Beurrage)
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Using a standing mixer: Combine yeast and milk in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed. Slowly add sugar, orange zest, cardamom, vanilla extract, vanilla seeds, eggs, and orange juice. Mix well.
Change to the dough hook and add the salt with the flour, 1 cup at a time, increasing speed to medium as the flour is incorporated. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until smooth. You may need to add a little more flour if it is sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Without a standing mixer: Combine yeast and milk in a bowl with a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk. Add sugar, orange zest, cardamom, vanilla extract, vanilla seeds, eggs, and orange juice and mix well. Sift flour and salt on your working surface and make a fountain. Make sure that the "walls" of your fountain are thick and even. Pour the liquid in the middle of the fountain.
With your fingertips, mix the liquid and the flour starting from the middle of the fountain, slowly working towards the edges. When the ingredients have been incorporated start kneading the dough with the heel of your hands until it becomes smooth and easy to work with, around 5 to 7 minutes. You might need to add more flour if the dough is sticky.
Butter Block
Combine butter and flour in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle and then beat for 1 minute more, or until smooth and lump free. Set aside at room temperature.
After the detrempe has chilled 30 minutes, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 18 x 13 inches and ¼ inch thick. The dough may be sticky, so keep dusting it lightly with flour. Spread the butter evenly over the center and right thirds of the dough. Fold the left edge of the detrempe to the right, covering half of the butter. Fold the right third of the rectangle over the center third. The first turn has now been completed. Mark the dough by poking it with your finger to keep track of your turns, or use a sticky and keep a tally. Place the dough on a baking sheet, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place the dough lengthwise on a floured work surface. The open ends should be to your right and left. Roll the dough into another approximately 13 x 18 inch, ¼-inch-thick rectangle. Again, fold the left third of the rectangle over the center third and the right third over the center third. No additional butter will be added as it is already in the dough. The second turn has now been completed. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Roll out, turn, and refrigerate the dough two more times, for a total of four single turns. Make sure you are keeping track of your turns. Refrigerate the dough after the final turn for at least 5 hours or overnight. The Danish dough is now ready to be used.
Storing: If you will not be using the dough within 24 hours, freeze it. To do this, roll the dough out to about 1 inch in thickness, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. Defrost the dough slowly in the refrigerator for easiest handling. Danish dough will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Chocolate Pastry Cream & Raspberries
Chocolate pastry cream adapted from Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé's written by Dorie Greenspan
Makes 900 g of pastry cream
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch, sifted
200 g bittersweet chocolate, melted
40 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250 g fresh raspberries
Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Set aside a smaller bowl that will fit inside the ice bath and hold the pastry cream. Also set aside a fine meshed strainer.
In a small saucepan bring the milk to the boil. In the meantime, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch together in another medium sized saucepan.
Once the milk is hot you will need to temper the egg mixture by adding tablespoonfuls of the milk to the egg mixture, whisking all the while. Still whisking, once the egg mixture starts to warm up, slowly pour in the rest of the milk.
Strain the mixture into the saucepan and heat over a medium heat. Whisking vigorously, without stopping, bring the mixture to a boil. Keep the mixture at a boil - whisking with all your might - for 1 to 2 minutes.
Still over the heat, whisk in the melted chocolate. Remove from heat and scrape the pastry cream into the small bowl.
The pastry cream should be thick, smooth and without any lumps.
Set the bowl holding the pastry cream in the ice bath, stirring frequently to keep the mixture smooth. Cool the pastry cream to 60 degrees C, then remove from the once bath and stir in the butter in three or four additions. Return the cream to the ice bath and leave it there until it has completely cooled.
Storing: Covered tightly with plastic wrap and pressing the plastic against the cream's surface to create and airtight seal, the pastry cream will remain fresh in the refrigerator for 2 days.
Leftovers: Use the rest as a dessert on it's own scattered with fresh raspberries and pistachios. Or use it to make other chocolate pastries.
Apple Filling
Makes enough for two braids
4 Fuji or other apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Toss all ingredients except butter in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until slightly nutty in color, about 6 - 8 minutes. Then add the apple mixture and sauté until apples are softened and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes.
If you've chosen Fujis, the apples will be caramelized, but have still retained their shape. Pour the cooked apples onto a baking sheet to cool completely before forming the braid. (If making ahead, cool to room temperature, seal, and refrigerate.) They will cool faster when spread in a thin layer over the surface of the sheet.
Storing: After they have cooled, the filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Leftovers: The filling can be used as an ice cream topping, for muffins, cheesecake, or other pastries.
Assembling the Danish Braid
Makes enough for 2 large braids
1 recipe Danish Dough (see above)
2 cups filling, chocolate pastry cream or apple filling (see above)
For the egg wash: 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the Danish Dough into a 15 x 20-inch rectangle, ¼ inch thick. If the dough seems elastic and shrinks back when rolled, let it rest for a few minutes, then roll again. Place the dough on the baking sheet.
Along one long side of the pastry make parallel, 5-inch-long cuts with a knife or rolling pastry wheel, each about 1 inch apart. Repeat on the opposite side, making sure to line up the cuts with those you've already made.
Spoon the filling you've chosen to fill your braid down the center of the rectangle. If using the chocolate pastry cream scatter the raspberries over the pastry cream.
Starting with the top and bottom "flaps", fold the top flap down over the filling to cover. Next, fold the bottom "flap" up to cover filling. This helps keep the braid neat and helps to hold in the filling. Now begin folding the cut side strips of dough over the filling, alternating first left, then right, left, right, until finished. Trim any excess dough and tuck in the ends.
Whisk together the whole egg and yolk in a bowl and with a pastry brush, lightly coat the braid. I scattered my braids with hazelnut brittle and coarse sugar.
Proofing and Baking
Spray or brush cooking oil onto a piece of plastic wrap, and place over the braid. Proof at room temperature or, if possible, in a controlled 35 degree C environment for about 2 hours, or until doubled in volume and light to the touch.
Near the end of proofing, preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan so that the side of the braid previously in the back of the oven is now in the front. Lower the oven temperature to 180 degrees C, and bake about 15-20 minutes more, or until golden brown. Cool and serve the braid either still warm from the oven or at room temperature.
Storing: The cooled braid can be wrapped airtight and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze for 1 month.
Like I said at the very beginning of this post - I love these kind of challenges. The dough was quite easy to make, even though it looks tedious it's not. If you've made puff pastry before you should have no trouble with this. For those who have never made puffy pastry, this dough is a great and simple way to acquaint yourself with the layered type of doughs. We loved the chocolate raspberry filling in this and I was quite surprised how fast both the braids disappeared.
Would I make this again?
Yes, I am actually thinking this might replace the puff pastry in some of the recipes in my kitchen. As I found it a breeze to whip up and always need dough on hand for Soeren's lunch boxes or when he has friends over, this dough will certainly be made in larger batches. As the dough is sweetened and contains flavoring it is not versatile for savory fillings.
What did I learn from this challenge?
I've never made Danish pastry before and was surprised at how easy it was. I liked the fact that it makes a nice easy and quick alternative the puff pastry.
A huge thanks to both Kelly and Ben for the great challenge this month!
