You did it. You got your family well and you baked bread. What more do you want to do. Yes, you can dream of when you can get back out in the big beautiful world and spend time in the garden. Spring is just around the corner.

Still have to make the bread. It turns out that expired yeast DOES NOT make bread rise. Who knew

probably should update Madame Source with your success. Looks pretty good. Have just finished the Colo bread (from Jan 09) and the double fibre Felix special, and am hankering for some homemade bread to go with the forty gallons of homemade soups currently enjoying space in the frig-freezer. G-P M

I feel (felt) your pain…sick kids, sick us, sick of being sick. I’m just gonna assume that since we were sick now that we’re in the clear for the rest of the Winter…that’s fair, right? That bread looks great, I’m gonna try it w/ the boys. Also, congrats on your new job!!!

I hope that everyone is still feeling better! Being home with sick kids is very tough (and it does not help that usually you catch some form of what they have!). I was watching the Phillies play in Colorado these past couple of nights and thinking that everyone is going to have to wear very warm halloween costumes this year.

Love the bread. We made a couple of loaves at our house this weekend!

I have to do that, nothing like the smell of fresh bread in the oven and well my kids could live on bread, just bread. No butter jam or anything else! Hope the kids are feeling better : )

So glad to hear you are free again. It really makes you appreciate being able to do what/when you want, if only during school hours!

We’re free! Free of thermometers, 7-up, Tylenol, watching kids breathe through the night, and the Swine Flu!!! Mother Nature can throw all she wants at me, I’m celebrating! I loved your post. It captured my cabin fever beautifully. Now someone said something about homemade bread and a fire…

I like your picture of the snow…. knowing someone else got snow helps me. Today was our second snowfall in three days. I think more is on the way. I am trying so hard to be positive about it. Thankfully, the kids were thrilled with it.

Thanks for that recipe! Maggie has been asking me to get that one ever since she tasted that bread in your backyard back when it was summer! (and I’m not just saying that to get an invite over to your fireplace…)
