I made homemade bread. It was definitely a lot of work, but so worth it!! NO bread machine, just good old fashioned kneeding! It is a honey whole wheat bread. So delicious!!! I followed the recipe on the back of the flour bag...LOL! I've never done that before. I was hoping it would be ready for lunch, but didn't calculate the time right so it was a little late. Of course, that didn't stop us from having some after lunch! My brother in law stopped by and had some and said it was really good as well. I'm feeling liberated from my fear of yeast. In fact, one of my cookbooks has a whole chapter on yeast breads and I'm excited to try a few. Stay tuned for the results and let me know if anyone wants recipes....I'l share!!!
I'm curious to see how well this homemade bread holds up. When I have made bread in the bread machine in the past, it went stale very fast...within 12-24 hours. I'm hoping this bread will last a little longer than that!
For breakfast, I tried a new waffle recipe and wow were there good! Sinfully good. Nicholas ate 1 1/2 waffles (not the small kind, but the big round Belgian kind). You barely needed syrup on them. I doubled the batch so we have leftovers for the week. Definitely makes mornings a bit better to know that a yummy waffle awaits!!!
Ok, now back to cleaning. This morning we rearranged N's room a bit...still have a ways to go on it, but its getting there. Trying to figure out what to do with some of the furniture that is currently in there. I'm excited that he will have a nice reading and playing space in his room. Hopefully this will get some of the toys/books out of the living room and help him to play with more of them. I just need to figure out a way to organize them easily. Also, trying to organize and clean out the office. Someday this house will be clean and organized!!! A wonderful site for help with cleaning and organizing is http://www.flylady.net/. She is my hero!!! While I'm still a "flybaby", her tips and tools have helped me tremendously. Little by little we're getting there. Be sure to check out her website and the baby steps. VERY HELPFUL!!! Take it baby step by baby step. I know I have a hard time with that and just want it all done right away. I'm learning!!!
