Everyday::Making Bread

um, yeah. Making bread totally fits into my “Everyday” series, because I make bread all the time…
ahem.
anyway, last week I mentioned that I tried making yeast bread by not cheating and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Unfortunately like my experience making bread via the cheater method, the second attempt wasn’t quite as successful. The bread looks delicious, but doesn’t taste as good as the first batch last week. I have no idea why, but I’m placing my blame firmly in the snow quietly falling outside.
I’m considering taking an afternoon course at my local college on bread-making. Seriously. You can take a class. I’ll report back, because I know you all want to whip out your yeast and knead yourself some bread.
In other news, tonight Steve and I had tickets to see The McDades in Nanaimo, a birthday present from my Mommy, and they were really very good and I’m sure at least one of their cds will be making its way to our collection soon. Unless we don’t buy cds anymore? Does anyone know? Are cds antiques yet? My only complaint is that they fuse jazz into their style and that’s all cool but I hate the frenzied jazz ending (which I’m sure has a technical musical name but I’m not even remotely musical). Just a personal thing, I really don’t get it, and tend to feel like it should have ended several minutes before it actually does.
I apologize for two days of crappy photos. I’ll make an effort to do take a decent photo tomorrow.
