1. I got my camera fixed
2. I baked bread
Yeah, yeah, I know, not the most exciting thing to blog about but to me it is exciting.
With that I present to the world photos of the bread:
This bread is the first of many loaves that I intend to bake. It is sort of special in two different ways. The first is that Samy gave me this awesome baking stone and amazing bread baking book for Christmas that I have only now got around to using. The second is that the bread was made for a silent auction fundraiser for a co-worker who is very sick. The bread was part of a basket that included five different kinds of homemade jams (all made with Montana plums and pears) and three loaves of herb bread (made with organic and Montana ingredients).
I have to toot my own horn here, I didn't think the basket would be bid on when I showed up with it as there were some amazing items, but it sold for $45! I am glad that someone purchased it and the money is going to a good cause.
Now that I have my camera back and in working order here are a few more pictures of the bread and one of the lovely San Juan Islands at sunset.
