Bread, Batter, and Me

I've been feeling domestic the last couple days. No, that's not to imply that I've been diligent about cleaning and laundry - I mean, that stuff is no fun... phooey. But, I've been feeling domestic in the sense that I'm looking toward doing the things I enjoy around my house. Cooking. Taking pictures. Playing silly mommy with the girls.

I found a great recipe for Strawberry Bread over at Sweetnicks.



And let me just say that it is awesomely delicious.

We also marinated some ribs in that terriyaki marinade I made a short while ago and my husband grilled them. Mmm. To.die.for. Next time I think I'll try to find meatier ribs though... there just wasn't enough there to really sink my teeth in to.

I made home made macaroni and cheese. It was average though. Basic. Plain. Nothing to write home about. I'm in search of a to.die.for mac-n-cheese recipe.

My daughter loves the bread, but she REALLY loved the batter. She sat without a moment of distraction snacking on the batter reminents at the dining room table for forty minutes.







We ate one of the loaves and I sent the second loaf to work with my husband. He said it lasted 20 minutes. I have to make more... maybe tomorrow.

I've got plans of making a homemade ceasar salad. It seems entirely simple... but I have a taste for it. And then later this week I plan on making my breakfast pie for dinner. Yep. For dinner.

And I'm itching to find a good - really good - home espresso maker. But I may whip out my blender and make one of my mocha freezes soon...

And I'm busy with pictures. I've given up on my computer. I'm moving homes to my laptop. I'll be a whimsical photographer on a laptop. The graphic quality isn't that great on my laptop, but I'll make it work for now. I don't want to invest any more money into that ridiculous desktop computer that keeps breaking. I'll wait until we decide to buy me a new computer down the road... waaay down the road. After all, I did just mention my desire for an espresso machine...

I've got a few pictures from our trip... but for now - just me:
