Recent happenings...

Hey everybody!  Here is a the recent happenings in my family this week...
Yep, the picture is a selfi of my older brother in the Augusta Burn Center.  He accidentally caught himself on fire Wednesday evening and was discharged to go home this afternoon.  He is in a lot of pain and is in need of many prayers.  He no longer has the head gauze, the burns are 1st, 2nd, and deeper, but no 3rd degree (praise the Lord).  Knowing that the flames enveloped him and that he only came out with 20% of his body burned is such a God thing.  My step-brother, Jordan, set up a donation site for Dylan.  Please visit this website to read more about it: Donations for Dylan I am so grateful for family, church family and friends who stepped in to help all of us these past couple of days.  Continued prayers for the next few weeks.

Today’s activities…

Since Wednesday evening we have been pet sitting for my sister, who just recently bought a dog.  His name is Waylon and he is about 6 months old.  Being quite the hyper puppy he has been a good playmate for our Keisha as long as she is willing to play…

Today I decided to tweak a bread recipe in my cookbook.  It is a white bread recipe, but I decided to switch the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour and the white sugar with brown sugar.  It came out pretty well considering I forgot it was in the oven until I smelled this yummy bread smell.  I quickly ran down the stairs, prayed that they weren’t burnt and pulled them out of the oven.  Thankfully after flipping them out of the pans and a few minutes of cooling down I cut one loaf and found that it was still a little moist. 

Homemade bread makes the house smell wonderful and tastes just as good.

I cut the loaf into thin slices for sandwiches and sampled a slice with a little butter, mmmm…

I put the cut loaf in the fridge to keep it moist and the uncut loaf in the fridge to save for later.

I have another bread recipe experiment in the making right now.  I found the recipe on Pinterest and since it only consisted of four ingredients I thought that I could try it out.  I will try to post a picture of it when it is finished and if it tastes good I will post the recipe with it.

What are your favorite bread recipes?
