Hi, I’m stupid!

So, I make bread in my lovely Wolfgang Puck Bread Maker quite often. Usually before it goes to the 3rd (final) rise stage, I pause and shape the loaf. Well, today I am making pepperoni pizza bread and when it beeped to punch down and go to rise.. I went and hit… STOP. Yeah, really [...]

Put The Pen On The Paper…

…and just write. Someone told me that once a long, long time ago and I think that I forget how to do that sometimes. I get caught up in what I want to write and what I need to write and just plainly forget to write. I compose posts in my head all the time. [...]

Bread and Life

I was ambitious today. Seriously. I made Italian bread (in the bread machine, yes I am a cheater) and it turned out SO good. I’ve failed at simple white bread, I’ve failed at simple wheat bread, but my Italian bread came out almost perfect. It didn’t cave in for a change and it didn’t come [...]
