Homemade Yumminess

Is yumminess even a word? Huh, welll it's all I could think of when it came to the bread we made yesterday.

Now, if you know me, you know that cooking and I aren't close and dear friends. As a matter of fact cooking and I have an unspoken and long running animosity towards one another. No matter how hard I try, what cookbook or special gadget I use my dishes come out looking like dog food and usually tasting no better. Of all the cooking arts baking is the most formidable. I like to blame the altitude, the position of the stars and even little gremlins. But in the end I know that baking is just something that is beyond my mortal understanding. That and I ususally lose the directions. Eh all's well that ends well.

In any case I finally had a baking triumph! I made homemade bread that didn't look like it came from Purina. Yay! It's not perfect but it's not burned and didn't taste bad, pretty good actually. I guess the stars were lined up right for once, too bad I didn't buy a lottery ticket.

I'm not sure that I can bake bread like that again, but it's sure going to be fun to try.
