this is a tough game to win for them
Blurgh. I woke up at 6:30 this morning with a cold. Not even DayQuil is stopping my nose from running. This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.
Yesterday, I did make the rosemary olive oil crock pot bread (pics) even though we did not have a hurricane.
It's very easy and it turned out well, except that my crock pot is so small that it rose right up to nudge at the lid and that very top layer didn't completely cook. The rest of it is really good, though! I took a few liberties with the recipe - I didn't fold the rosemary into the dough; instead I crushed it and mixed it with parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and olive oil, and spread it on top. I also used a tsp of honey instead of sugar to feed the yeast. And I didn't bother with parchment paper - I just sprayed the crock pot really well. Anyway, it tastes great, though I will probably go back to the one hour focaccia, mostly because a loaf of bread the shape of my crock pot is not really easy to use/slice etc.
Now I've got French onion soup on the go, and I'm excited about having it for dinner, and using the bread I made yesterday as the crouton in it! I love my crock pot. *g*
In other news, I came up with the first draft of my yuletide letter and discovered for two of my requests I have only one thing I want and that doesn't seem fair so I might be shuffling my requests around. Of course, I have to wait and see if my noms are accepted. That hasn't happened yet.
