First Try at Bread

I made my first try at baking bread today. I got Genny to throw together a batch of dough before she left for Hospice this morning. Then while Devin and Josiah came over, to help rake off where the back-hoe dug up the front yard, I popped them in the oven.
As you can see they got a little over done while I was out buying grass seed. But they still taste OK, just not great! Sent a loaf home with the boys.

Once the bread was out I had two chickens in the dutch oven and put them in for about 2.5 hours. They came out smelling great! Genny had already taken out steaks for dinner, so I gave them away to a needy family in the neighborhood. Just kidding - I took it over to Ashley and Jeremiah & kids. The report back was that it was great. Maybe I should have given them the steaks?

PERSONAL CAT STORY

For the past two months or so our cat (can't spell her name - so I just call her CAT) has been very afraid when I put her out at night. Several times we heard her fighting with another cat and a couple weeks ago the problem was identified as a black & white feral cat. Well, last night I put out the trap and caught it on the first try. It was a tom with the widest head I've ever seen on a cat, huge paws and mean and nasty. I took care of him early this morning - so in a few days CAT will figger out the neighborhood has improved. They just love me!!
