Skills I'm learning while unemployed....

Breadmaking. 

Bread has been my Achilles heel for a while now. 

But no more! 

I followed this recipe 

and (thank god!) it worked. 

I'm getting restless being home every day. 

It's hard to relax and go explore a new city 

when you're looking for a job...

instead, I'm cooking and baking. 

A lot. 

At least if I'm not bringing in any bread, 

I'm making it....

Right? :-)  

Oh, and there are only two things 

about this recipe that are difficult:

1. Waiting for it to cool...

so you can then scarf half of the loaf

without burning your fingers. 

(true story)

2. Keeping your dog away. 

While I was on the phone with my friend Jen, 

Jax decided to snag a piece for himself. 

He's now happily passed out on his bed 

with a belly full of bread.

hahahaha

Any suggestions on what 

I should take on next?
