First time EVER!!!

One of the blogs I follow had a French Bread recipe on it, and it didn't have very many ingredients so I figured I would try to make it. After finding out my yeast was dead, and borrowing some from my mom Call, I was all set! :) This is my first time EVER making bread! Ever! I don't think I have ever even helped anyone make bread. It was so much fun! :) I am definitely going to make more bread in the future. yipee!

Starting....

Kneading....

Let it rise....

My fully-risen loaves ready to bake.
(ya, I didn't put on makeup today...blah)

When the timer went off I thought they were overcooked, but they weren't! It was so good! the outside was crispy, but not hard, and the inside had lots of small holes and was really soft. there wasn't a ton of flavor...I would have added more salt, but otherwise, I was really really happy with my loaves! :)

Me (no makeup), Ash (pretending to be upset/sad), Preston (fell and hurt his cheek/eye...and doritos smeared on his mouth/cheek)
boy are we a sight for sore eyes!

we took the kids to the playground, but it was FREEZING!!! We only lasted about 5 min before we made the kids leave. We'll try again tomorrow if it's warmer. :) We made it up to them by playing about a dozen games of UNO. (or as we call it, ONE) lol.

Surely you helped me make bread at one point or another? 'member making all that bread every Christmas as presents?

I'd love to taste it! Love, mom

Nope,never helped you! I always found a reason to get out of helping! We are eating one loaf and freezing the other 1. Next time I make some I'll make extra for you. :)

I agree with Betsie. You are beautiful with or without makeup!!

Yes, seems to me you always wiggled your way out of helping with the bread... Maybe that was payback for all the times we wiggled our way out of you being at the front of the massage train. Haha!!
