Day 9

Something you're proud of in the past few days.

My first attempt at making the Lion House Rolls didn't turn out too bad. They definitely have room for improvement, and Wayne would appreciate it if I didn't have the emotional breakdown/verbal lashing that occurred while making them, but they rose twice and were edible, so its a start. One of my goals in life is to bake yummy bread, I want to be known as the "Bread Lady", like my aunt Becky, but theres one problem...Bread hates me. I don't know why, it just has this thing against me. I think it has it out for me lately because I googled a recipe for quick bread sticks. We were having friends over for some italian food and I wanted some bread sticks to go with it, but had less than an hour to make them. I found a recipe with lots of comments that said they were good. I'm guessing I accidentally typed, "quick garlic rocks", and I learned that there is no such thing as bread without yeast. I couldn't get those things into the trash quick enough. I have had success with my cousin Teri's yummy wheat bread, the key is the mini-bosch mixture I inherited from my Grandma and STEP-BY- STEP-PICTURE instructions. Thanks for the glimmer of hope in the bread department Teri.

Hey Jeana, I have a pretty good breadstick recipe that takes less than an hour. I will e-mail it to you. You may even have it - has Grandma Ruth given you any Cove ward cookbooks?

P.S. It does call for yeast. ;)
