    Oh I'm making bread today too. Mine's not as pretty (I just made baguettes) but still nothing quite beats fresh bread to have with one's pasta.

    Day 17: Went to a birthday party. Christmas cookies, homemade chocolate covered peanut butter, custom made vanilla cake from one of the best local bakeries... I left the party exhausted, over-stuffed and with heartburn (thanks to baby sticking her legs up in my organs). It was fantastic, but boy did I pay the price.
