Going to Try Making Soft Pretzels

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Later this week, Wednesday specifically, I am going to make my first batch of homemade soft pretzels.  The Food Netwrok’s Alton Brown made soft pretzels on one of his shows so I found that recipe and plan to give it a try.  One difficulty I have during winter is making bread because you have to have a warm area to let bread dough rise.  Well, Dave & I keep our home pretty chilly during the winter and finding a warm location for rising bread dough can be hard.  But I’m going to give pretzels a try!

Nothing Much Going On

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I haven’t written for a while, but there is nothing going on.  Our weekends are filled with all things maple syrup and my weekdays have been pretty slow.  This weekend Dave tapped all the maples at his parent’s house and one other location we’re using.  The sap won’t begin to flow though until Thursday when it warms up.  We won’t be boiling sap this weekend yet, but the next we certainly will.  This coming weekend we’ll probably tap the trees at the other 2 locations we are using.

Today I’m hanging out here at the house doing some cleaning and laundry.

So like I said, nothing much going on.  Which is actually pretty okay with me!
