Naked challah (poppy seeds are gross)...Mazel tov! My first time baking bread and i went for the single braid. And oops, I remembered to take pictures 3/4 of the way through the four hour process.

For all of their bickering, the scares and the tension all driving back to not having enough money, or my sister, or my brother, they've ( Read more... ) -

I just took my first dose of a live attenuated vaccine for typhoid fever. I have to keep the pills in the refrigerator because they contain LIVE bacteria. How cool! The pesky little Salmonella typhi! Causing delirium, intestinal perforation, and death! Look at em!
