New Year Resolutions

I made two resolutions for 2008!

*First- Start a family blog.
*Second- Learn to make homemade bread. This includes learning to use my kitchen aid and wheat grinder!

Well, as you can all see I have started our family blog. With the help of Trevor! Who am I kidding? I sat next to him and watched while he set it all up! BUT I'm posting right now all by my self! Resolution number one, check!

As for resolution number two...I tried to make bread today. It was my first ever attempt of making bread with my kitchen aid, and not a bread maker. I thought I would make it an even tougher challenge by using whole wheat! (SPOILER ALERT!!! I think I have a history of failing at these types of domestic tasks.) I followed the directions to the letter. I was so proud of my little lump of dough. I set it in a warm place, covered with a dish towel, and walked away. An hour later I cam back to look in on my dough and it was the same little lump. No doubling in size. Just a lump of hard stiff dough. I guess this resolution just might take the entire year!
