Cooking With Jen (not Rachel Ray)

Hey! Okay, I really did it this time! I BAKED BREAD after like 3 years of not baking bread and hey... I got my groove back! You shoulda tasted it... it was crazy good and not one piece left. It may seem like I'm bragging about my amazing bread but it is well-deserved. You see, the dilemma was that I wasn't sure it would turn out... we didn't measure the yeast right and then it didn't rise after like an hour. So everyone including myself was doubtful about this bread but I kept saying "I hope it will work... I hope!" And I just kept taking care of this little lump of dough and kept having faith... BIG FAITH... then I put it in the oven... still hoping along with everyone else (they had already pulled out bread from the freezer!). The smell of something good started wafting through the hallways down to the lounge and into the dining room... I kept checking on my little lump of dough and POOF! It baked and turned out WONDERFUL! We were excited and not one bit of the 3 loaves was left over. What a way to start a day!
*** Remember... have faith in the little lumps of dough! ***

Love Jen.

Hey, this has nothing to do with what you were writing about, but did you know that Stog is engaged?

Love Derek
