Slices Nicely, Nicely Thank You

This is my second really good batch of bread. Yeah!! I was thinking that I always post about my kids and I thought, what do I do all day? Take care of kids. But I do have other interests, I just never write or post about them. Thus the picture of bread. Sean totally surprised me (which is hard to do) with a Bosch mixer and a wheat grinder for Christmas. I couldn't believe he spent so much on ME! I had been bugging him a couple years ago that if we have all this wheat, we should have wheat grinder (makes sense). I was into making bread at the time. Then I had some disasterous loafs and I couldn't bring myself to make it again. So when Sean got the mixer for me I figured I better use it. We have enjoyed homemade whole wheat bread the last couple weeks. Thanks to my cousin's wife, Carmen, who gave me a fool-proof recipe for wheat bread, my bread has come out nicely. It is not crumbley or heavy (problems I have had in the past) and it makes great sandwiches. I have been thrilled and it is not even that hard. So there it is, I am trying to be domestic. See Mom, even if I can't sew, I can make bread.
