These are the kind of weekends that I love. Friday I spent most of the day relaxing. Actually, I take that back, I had to go to the store because I was out of....tampons...it always seems like I run out of them all at the same time, so I went to the store and bought three huge boxes of light, regular, and super tampons. Thank goodness I'm WAY over being embarrassed about buying stuff like that. So yes, it was a day of relaxing, but part of the day was spent laying on the floor in pain...
Saturday and today were spent doing absolutely nothing. Seriously. I haven't even done laundry yet, and we probably have like four loads to do. I woke up early both days and was able to spend each morning by myself for about five hours before Tim woke up. I love mornings like that! I make myself a couple cups of tea and a breakfast of veggies and sunny-side-up eggs with toast. I then proceed to look at pinterest, blog, read books, and listen to music. I wish I could start every day like it!
One of my goals this year is to pursue my passion of baking. I enjoy so much those days when I know I've got something raising in the kitchen and when those smells start coming from the oven (delicious smells, of course), mmmmmmm...then seeing the finished product. I just take so much enjoyment out of baking, so why not do it more often?!
This is going to be my year to learn the terminology of baking and put my knowledge to use. I also want to bless people with my baking. I don't know how many times I've thought, "Oh! I should make this dinner for someone else, it's so good!" Or those recipes that make two loaves of bread, I should give one away.
Especially this bread. With this jam. SO good.
I'd post this recipe; however, it's like three pages long in the book. It is definitely a bread that takes all day to make, but about 6 1/2 hours of it is rising time. It's so worth it.
