the problem with me, or maybe its not really a problem, is that i start to bake one thing and then decide i should just go ahead and make a few more things while im at it. and its true, it is an efficient use of the oven. i end up with a mess, but very at calm at heart.
so it was yesterday, when i thought to use up the remaining flour i had with a cinnamon raisin bread recipe. i had been looking for one that did not call for milk and was not made in a bread machine, and when i finally found one, i also found one for italian bread. that led to a trip to the store, and i picked the new publix that just opened as my destination. only, that small trip to the store for nonfat dry milk led to a perusal of their wine selection, which led me to look for my latest favorite wine, 'goats do roam'. i wasnt really planning to buy any, but it took so long to find, and i couldnt waste that effort; two bottles went into the cart. so, 44 dollars later, im heading home, with more flour, no less, and another bread recipe to try.
this is the life of an addicted baker.
of course, it would be much easier if i had my bread-baking partner here. kneading dough for ten minutes is not easy when one has the arm muscles of, well, a weak-armed person. i made it through, however, reminding myself that i would be eating the results of this baking session with andrew soon. and perhaps with a few nephews, too.
