Fresh bread and sugary jam


I am really not the Betty Crocker type most times. I rarely make breakfast for my husband, I eat leftovers for lunch and usually my dinners consist of items I remember my mother making over and over again. I just don't fit the fantastic cook and housewife mold.


But, the other day, I succumbed to the desire to be housewifey.


I spent hours and hours on a Saturday morning to make homemade jam.


Two flats of berries, twenty five pounds of sugar and 103 containers later, we had jam.


And then I realized we were out of bread.


No problem, I can just whip some up...


This would have been the point that I should have had my head examined. Who was I kidding? I hadn't made bread in years and I had never made bread successfully.


Three misshapen loaves later, we had bread to put our jam on.


If I start churning my own butter, please check me into Blackfoot South.
