Baking Bread

I decided to bake some bread for myself. After all, nothing is more old-school than baking your own damn staff of life. I was really in the mood for warm bread with melted butter, but I have to admit that baking bread is not exactly an instant gratification type of activity.

I decided to start with something simple, so I found a basic recipe, gathered the ingredients, and got to work.

The process was pretty simple, and I knew that I was doing things right as the dough rose as it should.

My only regret is that the loaves were a bit on the short size. Maybe they needed to rise more, but the bread tasted good and wasn't too dense. If I try the recipe again I may double it and use 3 bread tins or just try to find 2 smaller tins.

All in all, give bread a try. You'll feel like you got something done.

Getting Back to Getting Things Done

Well, as with most of my endeavors, I hit a wall with this blog when the routine I was trying to establish was interrupted. This particular interruption was a family vacation. It was an enjoyable trip, but it was enough to throw me off my game.

I'm going to give it another shot. I'll probably slip up again, but it's the trying again that really matters.
