i heart craigslist

i learned as i went, but made this bread from scratch.
with. my. new. kitchenaid. mixer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is an Italian Bread minus the sesame seeds.
i had to make a starter and all :)


it's all shiney b/c of the eggwash
and it told me to make 3 ropes and braid them, that's how you get the shape.
the end closest to the camera is missing a bite....????




brand new, never used, artisan, grey, talked him down to $200. sucker.
i was afraid i was going to get abducted though, so i made him
meet me in a very large parking lot.



not from craigslist, but i wanted to show everyone my BLACK GOLD!
*see below




inside the composter...black gold
(well that's what people call compost)
those are grapefruit rinds, banana peels (very black things) and eggshells from this am.
i had to move this thing down to the basement, b/c everytime you open it, it is kinda stinky, but i dont mind as much as cameron does.

CRAIGSLIST AGAIN
umbrella = $5






chaise lounge = $5







6 chairs, a table, and an umbrella stand = $30
-
driving to broomfield in rush hour traffic TWICE, and one the way home being squished in the car wth an umbrella poking in your head, and a chair bungeed to the top of the jeep, but the girl not having change for a $20 so you got everything for $40 instead of $50...
PRICELESS








schnooze with a haircut.
she also got a st patricks day bandana,
but is not wearing it.

tonight the boys are camping in snowcaves,
so the girls are having a dinner comsisting of:
salad with chicken and some amazing dressing by bethany,
chocolate fondue with a million things to dip in,
peach belinis courtosy of shellie,
the bread you saw above by me,
and lots of good conversation!
-
pray the boys can build caves, not starve, and be safe.

I am super, insanely, ridiculously jealous of your Kitchen Aid. I have my mom's old one, and it is so spastic that it spews food all over the walls when I use it. FORGET THAT.
