Saturday we went to my in-laws 40th Anniversary party, a bit late really, they've been married 40 years, 6 months and I think 18 days... but that was Saturday, so now 22 days. It was lovely. So nice to have all of the family together, laughing and eating and having fun. My Mom came with Travis and I. The amazingly cute thing is, that my Mom has known Doug and Jan, Travis' folks way before she had me. I was a preemie, very little, so at my baby shower Jan and Teri made me little preemie clothes. I just love how our family is connected like that. It's so funny to think, they had no idea that years later Travis and I would be married.
The past few days I have been a baking machine! I made crusty bread, on Tuesday. I mixed the dough on Monday and left it to rise for the 12 to 18 hours, then put it into the oven Tuesday... it was horribly salty. We ate it with breakfast and it was bearable, but then we decided that it was just tooooo salty. I realized my mistake, I had not put enough flour in the mix. No wonder it was veery wet and not a shaggy dough like the recipe had stated.
This bread loooooks amazing, but it's the horribly salty one.
I tried again. That same day, mixing the dough so that it would be read, after rising, the next day. So, Wednesday, my Mom came over. I made breakfast and we ate the crusty bread, which ended up being amazing and so so yummy. I was overjoyed, because it tasted just like the kind of bread I like buying at the store.
The next day! Success has been had!!!!! :)
