If you recall, I declared myself as the "stock up" queen and that I recently sectioned off a baking center in my tiny kitchen. Well... stocking up and tiny doesn't always mesh so that means too much baking goodies and not much space!
Such is the story of my stock of AP flour and while I was refilling my barely emptied flour container, I noticed the recipe on the back of the paper bag. It reads yummy, doesn't it? I don't know if you can read it, but it asked for mozzarella. I don't have that but I did have some grated cheddar so...
My oven was a bit too hot, so the top was too done for my taste, but the rest of the bread was unbelievable! This is how it came out! "I baked, I baked..." ("Brain is gloating in a sing-song fashion, lol)
Total Cost: FREE!
As for the earlier part of the day... well, the kiddos had a rough start with their chores but they got done, including I-Dude learning to do his own laundry! (Did I mention I was vying for Mother of the Year? LOL) We finished the rest of the cinnamon rolls with a side of ice cold milk and cut strawberries. Then I made a Filipino meat dish called "sinigang" for dinner (which was eaten on time, btw) that the kiddos love to eat while L-Infinity steamed the rice.
Most of the day, the kiddos read, watched, read and cleaned and drew pictures. It was a slow day and so glad about that... It must have been a slow day since I ba-ked, I baked! Hee, hee!
Also, we spent a great deal looking into our "dead" computer. Yep, you read right, DEAD, as in not capable of turning on. I personally cleaned the power strip and dusted both sides of the computer case on the inside and traced the power button to its connection to the motherboard and nope, nada, nothing, zilch, power connection.
Mr. Man was so proud of me when I reported all that I did. LOL I guess that's another project to put on his list...

You constantly put my cooking skills to total shame. You are so great. This looks fantastic and free too. That is a bonus.
Jan, you're so funny! I am more gloating at the fact that I actually conquered the fear of baking bread! LOL
You can't beat those satisfied customers!
I agree Sal! I agree! ;-)
That bread looks delicious! And what a great photo of the kids enjoying it! You should be very proud.
Thanks, Janet! I've baked rolls and another bread since then. Yes!
