I am now pleased to announce that I tried it again. It only took me a year to get up the courage. A year and some booze. Just kidding. I don't do booze, I'm sure this post would be a lot funnier if I did though.
Matthew surprised me with a new bread hook for my mixer for Christmas. So I felt like I had to give it one more shot. Plus I still had all the ingredients hanging around from last year. What? I'm a hoarder, it's what I do. Only not a hoarder like the A&E show "Hoarders," that's just disgusting. I just keep flour and gluten, not used adult diapers and dead cats--but that's a different post for a different time. But HONK if you love-slash-want-to-barf-everytime-you-see that show. Ahem, on that note, let's get back to talking about my bread. Because nothing gets an appetite going like talking about dead cats and diapers.
I felt like, in addition to the no bread hook thing, that perhaps the apron I wore that fateful day jinxed me. I'm pretty superstitious about things like that. So I also donned my brand new apron given to me by a dear friend for my birthday. I am sure that it was the magical combination of new apron and new hook, but my bread making excursion went much better this time.
This photo is a little something I like to call REDEMPTION. Don't I look cocky? It's the booze. Er, not the booze as I have previously stated I do not do booze. I do, however, realize that my eyes look bloodshot enough to be on booze. I have no excuses for that -oh wait, yes I do. It's a baby who has decided that 4 -5:30 a.m. is his own personal party time and I am the only invited guest. Hooray for me! Again, another post for another time -like 4 a.m.. maybe.
Hazaa! See? I'm not a total moron after all. Well-- at least not at breadmaking. The jury is still out on most other facets of life.
