My lovely parents bought me an extremely awesome stand mixer for Christmas, and I have been enjoying how easy baking is now. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at baking my own bread for a while, and I finally did it last night using this recipe.
Mmmm…it turned out so good. I mixed in a few tablespoons of Herbes de Provence, and it was a huge hit with John’s poker buddies. It does take a while, but it was one of those good things that is worth it 100%.
And yes, I’m stalling. Our scheduled interview is not going to be happening today, unfortunately. Instead, a few of my favorite posts of the week (not in any particular order):
- House and car pencil toppers
- How to paint a file cabinet (I’ve been needing to do this for about a year now)
- List of recommended children’s books
- Takin’ it easy (an inspiring post about being nice to yourself in 2008…and some great conversation in the comments)
- Selling on eBay, part III (parts I, II, and IV are swell, too)
- Lemon bars (Because I love making delicious things that my husband won’t eat. Hence, more for me.)
- The way of the nomad (this is one of the major posts that is changing my thinking about the way John and I want our family to live, putting us one small step closer to a voluntarily simplistic way of life)
- Mail art (such an awesome idea for keeping a close connection with someone far away) [via Heather Bullard]
Hope you’re having a happy weekend, folks!
Stumble it!
