As this past new years eve drew nearer the thought of resolutions struck me as clique yet appropriate. One of my resolutions was to find a hobby I enjoy. Running was once my hobby that I could not get enough of but as time went on it just didn't give me that same enjoyment it once did. Having fallen into this rather boring zone of having no particular favorite past-time a new resolution was added to the list.
This summer, with a bit more time on my hands, I am determined to try almost anything to find out what I enjoy but have never tried. I have plans to sign up for a pottery class in hopes of making some oversized mugs to try and fulfill my roommates and my oversized love for large quantities of tea. I am still in the works of trying to convince my parents to let me turn part of our back yard into a vegetable garden but in the mean time I have taken up baking.
Baking cookies and the like is enjoyable but what has really sparked my interest is bread. Yup, just good ol bread. Everybody eats it, and its something that is easy enough to make at home.
One of the things I like most about baking bread is having an excuse to call up my Omas (my grandmas), both of them whom have baked an uncountable number of loaves of bread, have lots of words of wisdom when I call with questions. Calling and talking about baking bridges the fifty-something year age gap between us. When I call it feels more like Im calling up a friend for some helpful advise then I am calling up my Grandma to do simply what a good granddaughter should do.
today: bread, brunch, movie
