My first bread

So the past month had been a little crazy with moving, traveling, and other events...so I haven't had much time to myself. Yesterday, I was finally able to get back to business...and what came out? My first homemade bread from scratch.

first a little background.... so this kinda really started from a couple months ago back in March when my co-worker made me a victim of the chain goo, also know as amish friendship bread. I skeptically followed the directions.. mush the bag.. mush the bag... mush.. mush.. and 10 days later, I made this wonderful cinnamon sweet bread. I was hooked.

another 10 days later, there was bananna choco chip, another 10 days, blueberry lemon...

having to travel, i did research and found out that keeping it in the fridge would slow down the goo.. research also revealed it's real identity... yeast. and after 3 batches of sweet bread.. frankly we were tired of sweet breads. so more research brought me to find it is also known as herman sourdough... SO thats how we came to yesterday after a 20 day wait... my first loaf.

but wait.. there's more.. i saved the best for last. and here it is:

Tada! look, he's even smiling at me.

can't wait for turtle soup tonight :)
