Who knew Wednesday

I really enjoyed who knew Wednesday last week and had a lot of great feedback. So I think I will keep doing the who knew every week.

Who Knew

This would have been so much fun, but would have looked like crap a couple hours later!!!

Ummmm, seriously, a duck?????

Not that I eat them much, but now I will NEVER!!!

This was a real shocker, I had no idea the number was so high

Seriously, how crazy was this guy!!!

How fun would this be, never eating at the same place.

Yesterday I had a great run.  I ran a little over 7 miles at an 8:13 pace.  I also took a spin class!!!  Overall I feel like I am getting faster little by little.

I also made another loaf of bread.  HERB AND SCALLION QUICK BREAD

All purpose flower, buttermilk, scallions, eggs, baking powder/soda, salt, sugar, butter, thyme and dill.

This was good, but not my favorite.  It kinda tasted a little like corn bread, which I do not like.

I am two weeks into this baking challenge, twenty recipes down.  

I hope you are having a great week.

What was the most interesting fact to you?

How is your week going?

Have you ever fallen out of bed?  I have not

Question and Answer Friday

I thought it would be fun to do some question and answers to kinda break the ice. Blogging can be such an unanswered question in itself. I find myself checking to see if I've had any views or comments too frequently, I seriously think I'm going to throw a "first blog comment party." Anywho here we go!!!

Just pick a couple to answer and be honest.

Do you see to believe or believe to see? I'm a seeing is believing person.

Who did you eat dinner with last night? Zachary is my permanent dinner date.

On a scale of 1-10 how clean is your house?  10 OCD is awesome

What are three things you NEED to buy?  Coffee creamer, aluminum foil, eggs

What is one thing you take with you everywhere (non-electronic)? My smile!!!!!

What movie are you looking forward to?  Hotel Transylvania 2

What is your favorite gadget? iPad 

The store I frequent most is?  Kroger, I wish Memphis had a Trader Joes or Publix

What was the worst thing you ate today (not taste wise)? The huge chunk of cheese, before I even put                 more cheese in my grits 😁

Look at how pretty my cinnamon swirl bread turned out, and it is delicious.  362 more days of baking 697 more recipes.

     

                     

                                          MY CINNAMON BREAD HAS A MUFFIN TOP

Three day weekend, Happy Friday

 

Throwback Thursday, and my first loaf of real bread!!!!

Ok I'm going way back, like 20 years back. I was getting promoted to Sergeant in the picture, I was so proud that day. I loved it when people called me Sergeant Davis.

                                     

I LOVE getting mail today the new edition of Runner's World came!!!!

I read this thing from front to back, so much awesome information that I actually adhere to. Not to mention I only paid $4.99 for a two year subscription.  Leave a comment and I will tell you how you can too.

Today is day 3 of my baking challenge, I decided to try to make bread, which isn't easy.  The recipe I chose was Cinnamon Swirl Bread using a rapid rise yeast.  I've never had much luck using yeast or making any sort of bread. It always flops.  I know if I just pay attention and do everything that is outlined it will be successful. 

The ingredients white all purpose flour, melted unsalted butter, warm milk, raped rise yeast, cinnamon (duh), two egg yolks, salt, white and brown sugar. I've never used my dough hook attachment, it worked wonders.

I'm a little behind the bread is in the oven right now, it smells so good.

What is your favorite type of bread?  I love Italian bread with dipping oil

What is your favorite thing to get in the mail? I love packages!!!

Do you ever get so behind that it just seems so overwhelming?
