FRESH BREAD

It doesn’t get much easier, or fresher, than this:

I made this recipe (cut in half) last night and was surprisingly impressed with how simple it was and how good it turned out.  This recipe only took about 10 minutes of actual work, and the kneading part was really easy because I just used the kneading hook on my Kitchen Aide.  I think I need to tweak the recipe a bit (I used EVOO instead of normal olive oil, and the taste was definitely a little too strong, especially for a breakfast bread), but otherwise, it was PERFECT!

Oh yeah, notice the gorgeous plate my sister got me for Christmas??? Thanks Christy!SONY DSC

Product Review

We are at the airport on our way back from a wonderful Idaho Christmas (more on that in a later post), but before we board our plane, I just wanted to mention a fun product review I get to do for  www.cookware.com sometime in the next week for so.  They have some really fun products, including the fun one I’ll get to play with and some Rachel Ray Cookware that looks like it would be fun too!

Now just because blog posts are more fun with pictures….here is an adorable picture of my new little cousin in an outfit her dad wore 30 years ago!!!

to my fantasy football team.

I am proud of you for scoring 119 points this week, even though it resulted in a loss.  You played well, you stayed strong, and while it may have been a loss this week (following your previous 4 losses), I have faith that one day you will actually win.  There might be a bit of re-organization this week, but trust me (if you can – after 5 consecutive losses) – it will result in a stronger team.   I’ve made some poor choices – such as dropping Ginn and Fasano – who others doubted, and I myself also doubted (hence my dropping them) – and they proved us all wrong this week with a strong showing in the Dolphins game.  For your sake, my dear fantasy football team, I hope that the decisions I make will continue to let you be one of the highest scoring teams in the league for the rest of the season.  We still have a chance.  We can still prove the league that we are a threat.  I WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PLAYOFFs……just hang in there with me for a few more weeks.  Thanks again, Katy’s Coffey House, for having such a good showing this past week.  I’m proud of you….even though it resulted in a loss….again.
