Last week, I had a bread class at my home. Gloria, Elaine, Tarali, Kim, Makel, Elizabeth, Bethany, and my kids came. (Well, it pretty much goes without saying that my kids came. They actually already know how to do this, but wanted to participate. Jacob had to go to scouts and was a bit disappointed that he couldn't stay for the whole time.)

It was so much fun! I stumbled upon an artisan bread recipe online and made it. After finding out about the man that created the recipe, I found that he has an amazing book. It is called Dough. His name is Richard Bertinet. The cookbook is fantastic. The best part of it is that it lays FLAT when open! (There are a few errors in it, so if you decide to purchase it, let me know and I can tell you what to fix.)

It was fun to see how everyone handled their dough and how things turned out! At one point, Makel was working her dough and somehow her bowl went flying up in the air and landed in Elaine's outstretched arms. Good thing she was working her dough just then - it might have hit her in the face!

While we were waiting for the dough to rise, Elizabeth gave us a fantastic yoga class. It has been a while since I was doing yoga. It made me realize how much I miss it. It was GREAT! If I can get my rear in gear, it may help with all the stress I am holding in my shoulders, neck, and back...
