I did it!

So the title probably makes it sound more exciting then this post really is, but for me it's very exciting. I actually successfully made bread! For those of you that know me, know I am a chef not a baker (and I use the term chef loosely). I hate to measure or take the time to be precise when I cook. I just add this and that whatever I feel like. So when I saw this recipe a couple months ago to make bread in a dutch oven that required no mixer or kneading I was dieing to try it. Let me tell you, it actually works. Even for someone like me who has only successfully made hard dense bread.
Just out of the Oven
First piece, it really did taste good. Photography has never been my strong suit.

I live

Geez, it's been too long. I have been just crazy stressed out. First there was finishing dental school. The last month was insanely busy trying to finish everything, and get everything in order. Meanwhile trying to prepare for WREBs. Oh and traveling back and forth to Chicago a few times. End of dental school parties...and this last weekend taking WREBs. This weekend was possibly one of the most stressful 2 days of clinic ever. To spare you all the boring dental details, lets just suffice to say it was not a smooth 2 days. I did get everything done, and my patients were amazing to me, just a lot of other unforeseen things went wrong that is just what I didn't need. I think most everything went well grading wise only one mishap that I am worried about...so here's to hoping, fingers crossed that it is all over. These next few months promise to be just as busy. Moving out of cleveland to Chicago, graduation from Dental school, then back to Chicago for a few weeks, then moving out of Chicago and down to Mississippi, then one month of officer training, and finally starting my residency. For now I think I am just going to sit around and do nothing today. I haven't been able to really do that in a long time, I wonder if I can remember how? I'll let you know how it goes.
