Snow and Brick Bread

With much snowfall I was off for about a week. While this is not good for the paycheck it is good for the hobby queen! I knitted, cooked, baked and had some interesting failures and successes!
This is the brick of white bread I attempted. Fail. It wouldn't rise and as I am an experienced bread maker much confusion occurred. We ate it anyway.


I mixed it right.

I used all the right ingredients! I even temped my liquid to make sure it wasn't too hot. Then my daughter, Britney and her mother-in-law tried the recipe (I had gotten it online) and it failed for them, too. So I am redeemed. I am not a bread failure after all!

This is Sophie hugging Belle while napping. Had to add it because they had been so good that day and I got lots of hobbies accomplished. Thus, success!

  1. I hate when things don't work out in the kitchen. I don't make bread for that very reason...I stick to artisan breads that are impossible to mess up!!

    Glad you enjoyed some time inside...It's always nice to have a few days of down time!

    Also, is that a green ford focus covered with snow?!? I drive the SAME car. crazy :)
