stale bread: giving back it's dignity

Wait!! Here is a post I wrote almost a year ago...a real post that will clearly change the world:


I was in a whirl wind earlier trying to hang pictures, swap out decor and just up to my armpits with new house stuff in general. Oliver was in his high chair at the kitchen island having a snack while I was trying to finish up my nonsense. The goal was to go the park with my mother who had come over to help me try hang pictures (ok i wrangled her into it- i AM NOT fun to be around when I'm hanging pictures) but of course things were taking way too long and we were both lost in inches-up-or-inches-down-to-the-right-or-left-or-just-shoot-me-now-ness.

Earlier i had emptied out the contents of my bread basket on the island because i decided to use it for shoes instead, what else? So as i was hammering away i here in the background "mama bread! can i have some bread?" " i say " sure sure..." with a nail between my lips. I finally turn around and Oliver had an ENTIRE LOAF of french bread held like a corn cob and had been eating little bits around the perimeter of the thing. My mom and I just looked at each other and laughed our heads off, after all he did ask:)

While thinking of that adorable little boy holding a huge loaf up to his face I started to slice the remains of the loaf for dinner. Unfortunately not only did the bread look like a mouse had a field day with it but it was completely STALE. like so stale that when i put my knife through it the room fell silent and andrew and i just kind of looked at it before giggling. So after this poor loaf of bread has been put to shame throughout the day it lays lonely in the middle of the island in the dark kitchen. I dont want to throw it and  there is no way anyone is going to eat it so what is left?  research!

here are some interesting ideas for stale bread rescue i found here and there: I'm totally going to try some of these...because seriously i never knew stale bread could sound so sexy.



Kidding!

April fools right? Ok so I missed yesterday (come on i went to bed at like 9pm!)  but i just know that one of these days ill give myself enough time to write an actual post. You kno, one that will change the world. For now I'm two for three...not too bad!

a new leaf

What if she wrote a post for every day of the year? Can she do it? 

Can she do it without referring to herself in the 3rd person? 

Let us find out!
