I am both surprised and pleased that there are leftovers…
Oh, what a feeling…
So, I go out to the kitchen to get a drink. I turn on the light in the living room, and hear a thump, look around, and see a cat slinking around the island.
So, what was the cat trying to get into? We will never know…
Bookmark catchup

Flattered twice in the past 24 hours…
G said two things:
- Everyone in the house, including the dog, loves my bread.
- I should stay home all day to bake bread. Apparently that’s worth more to her than my day job…
My fear is that when she learns that I don’t bake during the heat of summer, she’ll try to get me to move further north. That’s NOT going to happen…
G wants me to caption this…
G’s first fondant
Catchup blogging lite
It’s been an insanely busy month; I’ve not bookmarked much this time. Hell, I might even be able to categorize them for you this time around…

How to make Daddy J happy
- Daddy Cy brings home Rudy’s BBQ
- Ask for homemade bread, politely
- Sneak downstairs after bedtime
- Eat 2 slices of freshly homemade bread
- Act grateful (extremely grateful for a 9-year-old)
- Sneak back upstairs quietly
I’m tired as hell after working all weekend, but this made all the effort of making bread worth it — and more!
If I had a nickel for every way in which I love being a daddy, I would never need to work a day in my life.
I think this is what Cy thinks when he hears the word “sushi”.
