I Eat. Part Two.

I finally did it. I broke down and bought the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. I figured the weather was going to be getting colder (and it is) and we'd want to eat more bread (and we do).

Last night was our first loaf.

It may not be the prettiest. It may not be the largest. But it was the yummiest.

After cutting it and giving everyone a slice, only two small end pieces remained. As Taylor left the dinner table, he snagged one of the last pieces. And then this one piece was all that was left. We all wanted it, but no one wanted to take it.

Sawyer left to go to the bathroom and on his way back, he grabbed it off the cutting board and ate it. And that was that.

I love that book! I use their recipe for olive oil dough for our Friday pizza nights and it is the best pizza crust hubby and I have ever had. We also love the sourdough recipe.

Isn't that bread yummy! I've been making it for a couple of years now, no more of the tedious kneading, rising, etc of regular home made bread when this is just as good and goes with everything.

OM NOM NOM. I heart that book...and it's on my wishlist for my birthday this year. LOL (I'll probably end up buying it for myself with Swagbucks...but whatever.)

Here's a nummy - take your sourdough dough and make it into little walnut sized balls. Boil them as directed for soft pretzels, sprinkle with kosher salt and bake (425, I think.) Serve with deli mustard = the best pretzels you've EVER had. (A friend said they were better than Yankee Stadium pretzels. ;-))

It looks pretty and delicious to me! I may have to break down and get it too - I've heard so many good things about it.

I've been meaning to start making fresh homemade bread, and this post is just encouraging me to just start doing it! I hope that book is at the library or something. I'm in No-Spend September, so I can't be buying new things! :-)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
