I DID IT!

Finally the Bread Saga is coming to a close!

It was the no-knead recipe! It was a breakthrough. I have been adding too much flour all along. I never let it ferment long enough! The dough needs to be super sticky and MOST IMPORTANTLY it need to be baked INSIDE a cast iron dutch oven to steam itself!

We ate the whole loaf. After dinner.

At 50 cents a loaf, the world will never be the same. I can feed my people good bread.

Sometime the tiniest victory is all it takes to get you unstuck, you know?

It's a bit fuzzy because I took it with my camera phone.

February has always been an uphill climb for me. I start to really get cabin fever. I dream about planting the garden, even though it's too early. I've spent countless hours looking at property in Italy like this, where I fantasize we might move someday. Someplace where olives and lemons grow alongside the vegetables. Really though.... I like it fine right here, right now. I realize I haven't been blogging much, because at this point in time it seemed healthier not to. With any kind of journaling though I have noticed that when I write, I slow down enough to take a careful look at what's going on in my life that can be beautiful.
