best thing at work

what is the best thing about work? PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love puppies, all kinds, but especially Rottie puppies. so cute!!!! this pup came in today, i think she is about 3 months old. what a sweetie. but after a wonderful facial tongue bath (i think her tongue actually went into my mouth a few times) i had to give her back.


me and the cutie puppy. wish i could take her home with me.


the rest of the the day was pretty much the same, except....this was great....when he had this older lady come and, to make a long story short, proceeded to say that sarah palin didn't know the difference between shit and apple butter. it was great.

so anyway, here is a bread update that is long over due. this is the bread i made last tuesday when i was getting sick. i finally decided that it was probably a good idea to follow a recipe this time. this is one that i found on the fresh loaf blog.


my poolish that i forgot to start the night before. started at 5:30 am that morning.



around noon, i mixed the poolish with the rest of the ingredients.



letting the kitchen aide do most of the work.



time to knead for a little bit



time for my little dough ball to rise in the oven for 4-6 hours.



check it out. it rose. rock on.



worked it out. shaped it up. letting it rest for the 2nd time.



after the 2nd rise. holy crap, that's one big loaf of bread. maybe i should split it in two.



resting a bit before heading into the oven.



my pretty loaf of bread and the nectarine hand pies peeking in the bottom of the picture. yummy nectarine hand pies...that's a whole other post in itself.
