Scripture Typer

Just to let everyone know, there is a GREAT program for memorizing scripture. I use it for school to memorize my bible verses for Sunday school. And a plus, it's free!!

Bread Day

Several days ago I went over to Jess's house to assist her in the fine art of making bread. Apparently some water does not appreciate that beautiful art.

Jess and I were just tootin' along in the kitchen making a record pace for making bread. And, of course, my little buddy Elijah decided to help us knead the bread. At first, all was going well. But everyone knows that when you cook with a 2-year-old, there has to either be a funny moment or a disastrous moment. Thank goodness it was the funny moment.

Jess and I were kneading happily with our chunks of dough, and Elijah started getting squirmy and wanted to have his own chunk. Jess gave him hers and went over to the sink. At that moment, Elijah plopped his head down on the dough and started to lick it. He picked his head up and there was flour all over his face along with snot on the dough! We finished kneading the bread and stuck it in the oven to rise while we ate lunch and watched carefully to make sure Elijah didn't plop his head into something else.

And then the moment of truth..... We were watching a movie downstairs when Jess decided to go check on the bread while it was cooking. You see, Jess hasn't had too much luck with making bread. Apparently in never rises. We had successfully risen the dough the first two times and we thought she was over her times of non-rising dough. We were wrong. She comes back downstairs and said the the bread didn't rise. I run up the stairs as fast as I can and look at it. It had shrunk.

Jess took me home later and we brought some bread for my parents. They saw it and started laughing. Apparently her water has to much iron and it killed the yeast once it was put into the hot oven. Sometimes, toddler snot in the dough just doesn't matter when your baking bread. Since it didn't rise, they didn't even eat it(;
