Here I am now, entertain me!

I'm stuck home on a Sunday morning. I'm sick and I'm bored.

Ask me anything.

ETA: As my sick son watches Scooby Doo cartoons in the background -- did you know Shaggy's real first name is "Norville"? Like, I had no idea!

Hmmm... I would really love to learn how to make good bread, but that whole yeast thing and the kneading and rising and whatnot scares me. I'd like to have somebody walk me through it who knows what they're doing, rather than having to try and figure it out myself. (I tried making hot cross buns once but the results were... discouraging.)

I'm not sure I know how to parse your second question ("amonth" is a typo for...?) so maybe you can clarify for me?

*Red faced* Yep. Typo. It was suppose to say "among."

I guess what I want to know is have you read anything lately outside of the the books you normally blog about? :)

I tried hot cross buns once. The resultes were... disappointing. I can do an ok loaf of bread every now and again. Kneading is actually quite fun!

Hmmmm... well, other than the categories you mentioned (theological/young adult/research) I'd have to say... nope!

I've got a bunch more book reviews on my GoodReads account (and different ones) than I've posted here, though. Mostly YA and MG.

I had lousy results with bread until I tried the "no knead" recepie the came out about a year ago. You have to have a large cast iron pot, but you just throw the ingredients together and let them sit for hours, then bake.

Rebecca, if you ever do a book tour, you need to make a stop in Wisconsin and then you can come to my house and we can bake together!

To learn to make bread from the Queen of Cinnamon Buns herself would be a great honor!
