Summer Baking

I really want to start baking bread. I haven't done it in ages but I have such a hankering to try my hand at it. It is just weird that I want to do it now, when it is getting warm outside!


Also, I need to get to the gym again. All those headaches made it hard to go. :(

I really want to make jam and/or jelly this year. I haven't done it since I was little and would help my grandma.

I love doing that. Once the farmer's markets have cheap berries we should make it. It will be coming up pretty soon now.

Eee!!!

It is fun to start learning to master something that is as simple yet complex as bread making.

I do enjoy baking bread. I do believe that I do it well.

My favorite bread around is from Rustica Bakery. But, mine is pretty decent.

I did but I was sleeping, read it and then went back to sleep. Yay for the walk. I think my SIL and I are going to take the lightrail there so pretty much anyplace you want to meet up would be good. :)

Yeah, I am pretty sure I'll even be riding my bike to the station because there are so many people doing this. I guess last year it was insane!

Baking bread is fun. If I could find someone to do all my dishes, I would be a much more avid baker. The cleanup is such a bitch.
