Bread Update


So since my last bread post, I have made the bread by myself. I did think about calling my friends before I started just to make sure they were home in case of a repeat episode. I did fine and felt confident enough to take the recipe to my moms while we were there for Conference.

My mom, sister-in-law Rachel and I made Chicken braids for dinner and a cream cheese dessert. While we were finishing up, the kids went on a strike with homemade banners and even made one year old Makayla a banner and they all marched and chanted "We want breadsticks! We want breadsticks!" Then my dad and brother got into the action, until I gave in. I was extemely outnumbered. I did say however that the men had to make this batch. My dad and brother were up for the challenge, and of course were successful the first try. They did it all from start to finish minus the clean up of course.

We had a lot of fun, but can I just say one can only eat so much bread. It was a ton of bread. I love making bread, it makes me feel like I have homemaking skills, Wooo Hooo!!!

Congrats. I am glad that it worked for you. I feel left out of the bread craze, but The Diet won't allow me to make it. Your post about April Fools made me laugh. Oh, and you totally can't tell that the last picture on the bread post is posed. :)

anonymousWhy was there no mention of your adorable hubby during all of these festivities? Is he no longer a part of your family life? Kids, your parents are mentioned, but no husband. How sad. The bread is talked about extensively, but not one peep about the breadwinner.

With great disappointment I looked for an entry about bowling night with the doctors. Nothing! Sheesh. But good for you for blogging.

Editor's Note: Kevin was on call at the hospital Conference weekend, and so we went to my parents without him. We sure missed him.

I'm so proud of you for being such a good bread maker. I've been making bread a lot lately too. It's been fun. I tried mixing my recipe with Mindy's. It was super good. Her secret ingredient is awesome!
