The Warrior's Way

Just saw this movie.  Loved it!  People were bashing it all over online…. but what the hell more could they want?  Minimal talking, purely visually interesting.  OH and ninjas that show up in the Old West.

Like the downside cross?  I did!


Are married people supposed to have crushes? Probably not. Okay, then I definitely *DO NOT* have a tiny crush on this guy.  Justin needs to start his sword training.

Wheat bread....will you be mine?

Another week.  Another bread attempt.
Another YouTube video recipe.
No, I don't learn.

Homemade Bread Attempt #1

Homemade bread attempt #1.  Also multiple-picture-blog attempt #1.  Too bad I only know how the bread ended up.
I found this recipe on YouTube.  Okay, okay- mistake #1.  But she had a British accent and was SO CONVINCING.  And I still believe the recipe was fine... it was just my first attempt.
I borrowed my mom's KitchenAid because that's what the British lady said to use to knead the bread dough.  SOLD.  I want one so bad, but I have no where to put it.  *At the moment.*  Anyway, moving on.
*want*
I had no idea what was happening.  My dough didn't look anything like the video, but I got tired of adding flour, so I slopped the whole thing in the pan and crossed my fingers.  Here's the pre-rise:

Here's the after-rise and the cooked pics!  It was just okay.  It tasted like sourdough bread, which I do not particularly love, but the husband liked it a lot.


Also, allow me to fetch the YouTube video link & post it.  Watch it and TELL ME YOU DON'T TRUST HER COMPLETELY.

Easy Bread Recipe

Font Test

What's my default font, I wonder?

BTW I am in the process of moving my Tumblr posts over here. I like Tumbler a lot, but I felt it was more of a visual site and didn't allow written user communication.

So please forgive my ugly theme and seemingly super-busy night of cooking as I make the change.

Simple Sugared Strawberries

My grammom used to prepare this for us.  
Start with these two things:

End with this:

If you had whipped cream... it would be even better.  But I take what I can get.
