a good bread-kfast

a good bread-kfast is imperative .....

for playing with the pup on a freezing, gray day.

it's friday. happy friday.

which would you choose to eat?

try # 1. monster bread

contender #2 (comparatively more elegant and ideal)

i chose try #2

cute as a button

i love my salt and pepper shaker set from my in-laws (i told you they were great)! this little thing has a twin, just as cute.  i like turquoise accents with my cream furniture/dishes...so sweet. i also enjoy how "green" my mother-in-law is. she loves estate sales and i reap the benefits. perfect! happy snow day! i'll post some more pictures soon.

i must make this soon!

rainbow cake? yes, please!

bread?! maybe not tonight....

well, bread baby is still in the machine... what I can see doesn't look to great.... i'm thinking it didn't rise. oh well... i followed the directions the best i could... i'm over it!

today has been icy and freeeeezing, but the good kind of cold with less than knock-you-down wind.  

a look outside my kitchen window

*update: my classes are cancelled tomorrow... YESSSSSSS!! looks like i have a lovely crafty night ahead :D also, uh, the oatmeal bread didn't turn out very well... it didn't mix?! maybe i'll try mixing it up first next time... or just without a bread machine.... who knows. at least i have all day tomorrow to work on it!

bread machine

I have awesome in-laws.  

For PART of my birthday they gave me their bread machine... she said she doesn't use it much anymore... I'm not sure if that's true, or if they're just being their typical super-nice-selves... either way, clinic was cancelled, so today I'm making bread! 

So exciting! I hear it's not easy...wish me the best please!
