    Juli, bagels are really easy to make.  It's a good project for the kids for shapes and we throw in  whatever they want.  It takes a while, but that's mostly waiting for the dough to rise. 

    Anything bread still scares me.  Someday (when I have a mixer to work the dough) I'll venture into that arena.  Until then, I'll just be over here drooling at the thought of homemade bagels.

    Oh man.  Dough making is so rewarding!  We make pizza, pretzels, cinnamon rolls, and scones.  I've never made bagels, but I want to start now!

    GRSP, can you send me the bagel recipe, please?  Either here or FB.  Maybe, and I use that word cautiously, I will attempt it!

    Sure thing!  I'll post it today or tomorrow.

    KerCo, I think you're right.  JGE has the cute dentist.  I went to Kasa's dentist too.  I think what someone might be remembering was she ran into him in public and it was  a little weird.  Right?

    So... is our dentist cute?  I have to admit, I honestly can't really picture his face right now.  He's always wearing a mask and I'm quite medicated.  Indifferent

    And, yes, very weird when you run into him in public and don't recognize him.

  • I'm also not a bread-making person.  I've tried it a couple of times and it was okay.  But I don't like the time and baby-sitting that it requires.  And I feel like there are too many variables (yeast, rising, temperature, moisture) that could result in my screwing it up.

    I pay good money for delicious bread that other people make though!

  • Recipe rave:

    Chicken stew with roasted balsamic vegetables

    I'm eating leftovers for lunch today and it's so good.  I did tweak the recipe though (sorry).  Since we're not big meat eaters, I cut down on the chicken and only used two chicken breast halves.  Then I increased the proportion of vegetables.  In addition to the carrots and red-skinned potatoes, I also added in a sweet potato and part of a butternut squash since I had them laying around.  I also increased the amount of liquid.

    Van's english muffin bread with butter and strawberry jam brings me so much happiness. And Nantucket can do no wrong in my eyes. 

    I love bread.

  • I feel kinda of bad. Today is our anniversary and I got hubby some cologne and I told him to not get me anything - if he did then maybe a few roses. Then he said lets go out to eat, I said lets do Chinese - it's cheaper and he hasnt done any of his Christmas shopping done yet. So that's what I was thinking of of. Well he doesn't wanna do that. He wants to do something classier I guess - so we are going to Olive Garden. I still feel guilty.

  • Kasa, cute is not one of the top 5 words I'd use to describe him.

  • I know everyone is probably gone for the night, but I couldn't let this go:

  • There is an excel sheet that I'm working on that will be the death of me.  I swear, I'm about to break something.  It for some reason did not save my formulas, and when I went to send it out, they were all wrong.  GRRR!!!!!  WHY?!  *headdesk*
