My cell phone is stupid.

My roommate, Brant, decided last night to make bread. He asked me why I never baked, and since I couldn't come up with a good answer, I decided that I'd make bread. I went onto Wonder Woman's blog, and snagged the one-hour bread recipe, and went to town. I'd give you pictures, but my cell phone is stupid and can't send pictures in text messages. My old phone could, and this after being dropped, smashed, and abused beyond all reason, but my new and presumably more advanced phone balks at the idea. So I have these wonderful bread pictures on my cell phone and can do absolutely nothing with them. I did learn that it is important to mix the bread for all five minutes, as that's apparently what helps it rise so quickly (aside from the sugar and copious amounts of yeast) and so my second batch, made this afternoon, is overall much prettier and fluffier than my first batch. We shall be having grilled cheese. :D

Day 90: Success at last!

Hello Family!


Well I finally did it! I got my bread to turn out the way I wanted it. I took your advice and started out with a sponge and I got some good rise out of my bread. I was trying to make little french bread like loaves for sandwiches and stuff. It was about an hour and half from beginning to end. What do you think?

Love you!
