I know that I have abandoned this blog for a long time . . . but I really want that to change. So here goes. This morning I made bread again. I tried out Janice Keller's recipe (from the famlet about 6 years ago) on Monday and it turned out really well . . . so well, in fact, that we needed more bread! (I made 4 loaves.) This morning I thought I'd try using my KitchenAid mixer because kneading that much dough for 10 minutes is nigh to impossible for me given my current bulgy state. I had my doubts about the capacity of the bowl, but thought I'd try. My fears were confirmed. The bowl was too small and every time I added flour it would poof out, covering me, the counter, and all equipment in a film of white dust. But I had to let it knead for 10 minutes, and I had to drive the kids to drama camp . . . . so I hurridly spooned in 6 cups of flour and left the machine on while I raced to the highschool. When I got back the dough ball had engulfed the mixer which was slowly moving closer and closer to the edge of the counter. It looked like a scene from Maurice Sendak's "In the Night Kitchen." The bread, however, turned out fine.
This weekend Omi and I are heading down to Utah to do various errands. We have made a reservation at Daw's Bed and Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Or perhaps we should call it the "Dawmitory." What shall we do to show our gratitude for their constant hospitality? I know Weston wants Omi to clean the fridge out again . . .

yes, a clean fridge and the stovetop clean... I'd take that...
Too funny! I love the name "Dawmitory"! But I don't think you should tackle Beebs' fridge again without my help :)
How about my fridge? Anyone? We will provide bed and breakfast and a finished bathroom downstairs. And Kimball will make his amazing rosemary bread (the kind you get at "macaroni and grill").
I am going to try your bread today, Heidi.
