Sometimes people are layered like that. There's something totally different underneath than what's on the surface. But sometimes, there's a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.

The above is a Joss Whedon quote.  I love Joss Whedon.  He is the creator of some of my favorite television shows.  Like Firefly, Angel, and Dr. Horrible's Sing a long blog.  If you don't know, wiki him and check out his work.  He is lovely.

So I've been away for a while.  Seth had to stay home yesterday to work on school work because he was falling behind because of his real job being so busy.  I'm also getting ready for ouIr trip to Orlando.  I'm so nervous about traveling with the baby, but I'm sure it will be okay, and if not, well then I know we won't be traveling until she is older!

Only one more week left of my blog's censorship and then the political race will be over and I can come back full force! 

I have been having playdates set up by Nurse Carol.  The Mom and her lovely daughter are coming over today!  They are new to the area.  I am glad to have a Mom friend to get together with. 

Alright I'd better get the house ready for company!  I'll leave you with my new favorite bread recipe from Pioneer Woman:

Ingredients

  • 20 ounces, weight Bread Flour (all Purpose Is Okay, Too) - About 4 Cups
  • 8 ounces, fluid Water
  • 4 ounces, fluid Melted Butter With Chopped Herbs Of Choice. We Like Chives, Rosemary Or Thyme.
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Active Or Instant Yeast (if Active, It Would Be Best To Sprinkle Yeast Over The Water To Let It Start To Work Before Mixing It In)

Preparation Instructions

Combine all ingredients together in the KitchenAid stand mixer with the dough hook (it can be done by hand…it just takes longer).
I mixed them together for about 10 minutes or so until I could successfully achieve a windowpane with the dough. This is where you can pull off a small chunk of the dough you’re kneading and stretch it gently to see if it is somewhat translucent. If you can do this without it tearing, it’s ready.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
After the dough starts rising, it should be kneaded for a minute or two so that the yeast can redistribute. Form it into a dome and place in a covered cast iron pan after coating it with olive oil and a sprinkling of kosher salt. Cut a large ‘X’ into the surface of the bread dough so it can bloom!
Bake on the center rack of your over for 30 minutes with the lid on, them remove the lid to finish it off for another 15 to 30 minutes.

Love (bread and butter),
Carrie
