i've got joy

ella on the way home," i've got drink like a river in my whole". instead of, "i've got peace like a river in my soul".

so, this thanksgiving we traveled to florida to surprise my mother-in-law for her birthday party. as we were taking off from san francisco ella asked, "oh, but how are they going to put dust on the tail?" "dust?", i asked, "you mean pixie dust?" ella and corinne thought tinkerbell was making the plane fly. then as we were ascending corinne started chanting, "go tinkerbell, go tinkerbell!" i just love them.

so this is my latest obsession, baking artisan bread. our family got addicted to having bread with dinner when all our lovely friends were bringing us yummy meals with french loaves to boot! so after that i was buying loaves of artisan bread from the store. i started looking for some good recipes to save some money AND so we could have it on hand. last week we tried the whole wheat recipe and this week i'm on the white bread. it's awesome, you combine all the ingredients for a week of bread and make a wet dough that stays in the refrigerator. you just pull out what you want each day and bake it. so good!! it's even better with fresh ground honey roasted peanut butter from whole foods...ahem, not a low calorie snack. i got the recipe from: www.artisanbreadinfive.com. it's so easy and delicious!
