Peter Gernsheimer-Project Leader
With a strong background as a pastry chef, a weak background with spelling and a desire to innovate baking techniques that would turn leftover cakes into sellable products, I joined the Desert Restoration Corps with enthusiasm and drive. Moments later I was crushed by the apparent mistake I made. If the DRC wasn’t such an awesome program, I would have returned home disgraced and diminished. As it turned out, I began to enjoy the desert, see the potential of guarding it against human interference and hoping to work with future generations of corps members to continue what I now believe to be the DRC’s objective: the interrelated transformation of the self and the environment to create a more sustainable world. If you’re joining my crew, I welcome you to a life-changing experience in a beautiful land. If you’re not on my team, I encourage you to come out and see what we’re doing. Maybe you’ll take a liking to our unique lifestyle. If not, at least you’ll get to try my award winning profiteroles.
Dessert in the desert
Peter, Dana and I love desert after our meals! So excited about your culinary expertise and the opportunity to use it in the hot sun, or is that a mirage? Have a great adventure. Love, Dana and Steve Weinberg
profiteroles....
I bet they are tasty made with Agave syrup.... It's also one of those funny words that remind me of something totally different, like some type of Mexican bandit....'ole
Have fun Peter, the program sounds great! Great to see your folks this past weekend....love to you, Cathy & Peter Marshall
Profiterales 2
It is my quest to find profiterales as good as Paris. Will be there! Most do need restoration.
Profiteroles
I've got to try those profiteroles in the desert sometime. Do you use a solar oven to bake? Best wishes with your desert restoration project.
