I made bread today!

Look! I made bread!! French Bread!

My mom came over this morning and very kindly helped me get the yeast going and put the dough together then I took her home and came back and did the rest. I was really pleased with how it turned out! I haven't eaten a piece yet, just a nibble, but it was good.

I don't have the recipe, it was in my mom's head, or else I'd share it with you.

Speaking of heads, I was puttering around today and an object fell from up high and bonked me on the head causing me to bleed for quite a while. Yeah, it was a lot of fun! Thank goodness I have a wonderful neighbor because she came over and administered first aid, and may have even dyed my hair in the process since she used peroxide to clean my wound. LOL Honestly though she was awesome and I'm so glad she's our neighbor. She rocks!

I'm still feeling a little woozy but I wanted to show off my bread. Tomorrow, I'll post pictures of my recent eats and give you the recipe for my Mamaw's Cornbread Dressing. Just don't tell my mom I gave it to you, okay?

Your bread is beautiful. I have breadphobia for some reason. I think it is this terribly complicated thing to bake so I rarely do it. Mine certainly doesn't look as purty as yours when it is done.

How is your head? Head wounds are not fun. I hope you are better now. Does this mean you're going blonde? :)

I have breadphobia, too which is why I hog-tied my mother and dragged her agorophobic butt over here to help me. LOL No, she came quite willingly but I did feel more comfortable having her help with the yeast portion of the process.

My head is ok I think. It still hurts and I feel just a tad woozy but I think I'm gonna make it. If I can get past feeling like a Class A Dumb Ass then all will be fine.

Thanks for the compliment on my bread!
