Drive by posting...
Gots a pool bored meeting in 25 minutes.
Started this mornin' with choir practice at 8:15, Sunday School, service, then gots home around 1:00.
Had to grab lunch for the boys, run by Sam's, drop Jr. off for choir practice and then get to the Children's Museum for Luke's party by 3:00 p.m. We arrived at 2:59...
Left there around 5:20 and am printing documents for the meeting...
prolly have to go by the grocery store after that...
lookin' forward to work tomorrow so I can get some rest.
he he!
Hi Corin!
Steve just took the jedis to choir...I have about a 3 hour break! I'm baking chicken thighs!
The turkey breast was still frozen so I made pizza instead. :)
I washed the road salt from the car, sanded and added more stain to the door frame, did laundry. Now my Feline Overlord bids me attend her.
She deserves it!
I really hope to see your new place someday...
Hehehe....come on down!
I'm planning on shopping for a decent drapery rod this week and see if I can find some cafe curtains for the door. Then I get to find out which one of those white paints goes in the kitchen.
I'm pretty sure the old car wouldn't make it...at least I don't feel safe driving too far in it.
But someday, ASG!
I hope the Missus and Nana are feeling better too!
Corin, don't you keep saying you're doing to quit the pool board?
Sounds like your ox was in a ditch today for sure. Day of rest, meh.
Hey Suz...what do you think? Steve and I were talking about making a cinnamon raisin bread in the bread machine. So I looked up recipes on line and many are very similar to the one I use for my everyday bread, except that it calls for an extra tbsp of sugar. Well, I think my bread is plenty sweet as it is, so do you think I can just leave that extra tablespoon out? The recipe I'm planning on using is this:
2 tbsp oil
300ml warm milk
16oz weighed all-purpose flour (3 cups)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins (added at second kneading)
The only difference between this and the bread I make with great success every day is the cinnamon and the raisins.
Any thoughts?
Another reason I'm loathe to add another tablespoon of sugar is because the crust of my bread, even on "light", comes out very dark. I'm afraid another tbsp of sugar will just make it even darker.
Sittin' here listening to Pink Floyd.
Good evening!
I'm sittin' here listening to a song engaged brother wrote for his fiance for Valentine's Day and which Stephen (other brother) sang and recorded for him to present to her.

First one listed. I gotta say...much as the bother's annoy me at time, they do have some talent. ;-)
Oh, I think you could get by without the extra sugar. Y'all have gotten used to not eating things too sweet since you were doing the low-carb thing for a while. The raisins and cinnamon will also provide some extra sweetness. Besides, when you put cream cheese or butter on it after it's baked, who'd notice that it wasn't that sweet anyway? ;o)
One of these days (say...in ten or fifteen pounds) I wouldn't mind having a bread machine! You guys make me jealous.
I do love making bread from scratch and kneading it and all, but sometimes it'd be great to have it that easy.
There is artistic baking...and then there is utilitarian baking! Bread machine bread is just utilitarian! LOL
My take on the situation seven minutes in.
Bread machine! Yeah, if I ever reach my goal I'll let you buy one. (Inidentally, the small appliances I have are a steamer, a crockpot, an electric wok, and a little grill. I almost never use the oven, with all that to chose from!)
Mmm. I splurged - artichokes were on sale, so I got one, and a mildly decent steak. I'm starving!
My take on the situation twenty-seven minutes in.
Wow! I knew Stephen could play the guitar well, but I didn't know he had such a great voice, too!
That may be, but it still tastes GOOD!
