A few random things

 

                                            I definitely needed a pick me up this morning.

 

Last night I made homemade spaghetti sauce.  It was so good I basically just drank the sauce and left the pasta. I used a large can of crushed tomatoes, butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Butter makes everything better!!!

 

I am pretty bummed that the Real Housewives of Orange County is over until next season and we still do not know if Brooks actually has cancer.  Vicki is not coming back next season so I am not sure if we will ever know.  I think he is lying.

 

I love feeding the birds. It is relaxing to watch such delicate creatures eat seeds.  It is always a treat when a new type of bird swoops in makes an appearance.  This week I had a Northern Flicker stop by, is he cute.

 

My November issue of Runner's World arrived in the mailbox, I am sure this will be read by the end of the day.

 

Have you ever been overwhelmed by trying to read, comment, and create blogs that are interesting enough for others to read?  Blogging is a lot harder than I imagined it being. I have no intention of quitting.  I think I may need to plan ahead as to what I am going to blog because I just sit down and type a bunch of randomness. 

I would by lying to say I do not want to go to Pyros for lunch and have another salad.  I can't get that salad out of my head.  I will definitely be taking a picture to share.

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?
