Squirrel bread

I made bread. Squirrelly-type bread with lots of grainy goodness. It's actually called Mashed potato flax bread. The recipe says "the potatoes give this bread a light, smooth texture". Eh. It's pretty good, but I think I need more practice. For the flour, I ground some wheat in the blender. The recipe calls for fresh ground wheat, but they use a mill and I don't have one. I think the blender worked nicely, but I used the coffee grinder first and some of the grains didn't get ground very fine. It's a nice bread, heavier and grainier than I'm used to, but very tasty. I think I'll try sticky buns next. Maybe for our crafting group next Thursday.
The recipe actually makes 4 loaves, but I turned one into buns and the other was in the oven when I took this picture.



And Katie was busy getting herself stuck on the table leg. I moved her to different places in the kitchen not less than 5 times. Every time she wound up stuck on this single table leg. I guess it's more magnetic than the others.

She has decided, now that Daddy has gone back to work, that she simply can not sleep anywhere but his spot on our bed. How sweet. She misses him a lot.

More excitement, I strapped her on my back with our new bug carrier this morning when I went to feed the horse. She was in her snowsuit and it was fairly warm today. We were outside for about an hour (no reason to go in if there's no baby inside waiting for me), and she spent the entire time laughing at Bailey. She just loves that dog. Charlie wasn't sure what to think of us.
