Bread Baking

I baked bread on Saturday!! I checked the following book from the library.

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I had to buy unbleached all-purpose flour and yeast in a jar instead of the envelopes and a good size bowl with a lid. I followed the easy directions and got a loaf of bread that was so good!! I now have enough dough left for 3 more loaves!!

Here is the loaf I baked before and after cooking, with a close up of the cut loaf!! Can't wait to bake more this afternoon!!

Daughter #2 was able to come home for a visit this holiday weekend. Needless to say, we really enjoy having her home even for a few days. She was featured on her college's website for the Equestrian Hall of Fame for her accomplishment at a horse show last fall.

She was Champion of the 3'3" jumper division (3 ft. 3 in. was the height of the jumps in that division) at the Germantown, TN, Harvesttime "A" Show. "A" shows are the strictest judged show except for Olympic level shows. Professional riders can be found competing in "A" shows.

We are very proud of her acheivement at this show.
