I didn't have an exciting weekend. In fact I had a rather dull weekend, where I spent a lot of time becoming domestic. I baked challah bread and discovered I need new baking pans. The recipe was really easy to follow from Annie Eats and the result looked great. My only problem was my baking sheet burned the bottom of the bread. As long as you don't eat the bottom part. But this endeavor got me thinking about making bread in general. So I consulted my favorite all purpose cookbook, The Joy of Cooking and did some reading on bread. My next bread making challenge is going to be sourdough bread. I made the starter yesterday. My biggest problem seems to be that it isn't warm enough in my house. I need to do a little research to figure out what to do about that.
The next baking challenge I'm facing is the Chocolate Caramel Tart from Annie Eats blog. I plan on trying this one out today. Of course I'm going to have the challenge of figureing out who will eat it. I"m thinking the youth will be a good crowd to ty it out on. And I do have my top secret #1 taste tester.
My other domestic task this weekend was finishing my blanket. I'm pretty proud of it. It isn't perfect and I definitely messed up quite a bit at first but I finished it. It's only my second blanket of that size and a pattern I had trouble mastering. I'm ready to start a baby blanket for my new neice or nephew but since I don't know the gender I need to wait. So my next project is going to be a teal fuzzy lumberjack hat. I'm looking forward to making it even though I have no desire to wear one.

I have a new interest from match.com. He seems nice maybe a little too smooth but in an entertaining way. He was a drummer in a rock band that toured for 7 years which is pretty interesting. So at least it has potential for a good story. We'll see. I still haven't given up all hope on the nice guy. He has potential for long term that I'm not sure rocker boy does. But in the way the world works rockers win out over nice for interesting dates. So we'll see what happens.
