The Diving Bell and the Butterfly movies
We moved the event to a non-smoking quieter venue which only resulted in my contributors dangling their babies in my face (and one soon to be baby, but not dangling). Though their children are cute and fun, it still hasn’t changed my mind about marriage or children; still no interest.
While they were home changing diapers and practicing breathing exercises after the event, I was doing what I enjoy best (see above image).
Actually, I went home and baked a loaf of ciabatta bread for today’s lunch.
That’s “baked”, not “pinched off”.
Well aren’t you the little Mr. Mom.
Careful l3wis. I resemble that remark.
It’s easier than brewing beer. In fact, if you can read, count, have even infantile manual dextarity, and know how to work your oven, you too can have the same bread that costs $4/loaf at a bakery for $.50.
Warren- Go drink an O’Dells and finish the laundry already.
I drank three of em last night. Tastes great, but I don’t think I’d want to drink that stuff all the time though. I already spend an hour a day exercising, I don’t need to increase that to two. I was reading the label also. Is that stuff 7% alcohol? And whats with the dancing elephant?
I’m done with the laundry, AND I got the stuff ready to go for supper. Steaks for the grill, baked taters, and some steamed veggies. Even I can’t screw that up.
Oh, and it’s Thursday. Boys night out. Ain’t life great.
Gotta go. The dog says it’s time to go for a walk out back.
Ciabatta bread eh? Is your recipe googleable? Maybe I can earn some extra brownie points.
Warren-
You missed babyfest last night. Angry people even have beautiful children.
They are only cute in public.. get Angry Tot home and she’s the frickin’ DEVIL!
Ciabatta bread:
4 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast (check the expiration date), 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 2 cups warm water
Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a big bowl, mix in water (use a big rubber spatula) until a sticky dough forms, making sure to incorporate all the flour. Cover the bowl and let sit for 18 hours. After 18 hours, use the spatula to punch down the dough (it will have grown a lot) and remove all the air bubbles. Let dough sit for two more hours.
After the two hour wait, preheat the oven to 425f.
Then, on a floured piece of parchment paper, roll out dough into a the shape of a shoe and about 1 inch thick. Flour the top to make it easier to work. Set dough and parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet, and put in the oven for 35 minutes. Let it cool on a cooling rack. Done.
This has been today’s episode of Chef Dude.
Next time I would suggest that we bring our pets or our neighbor’s pets – and leave the baby-making processes and production at home.
Sincerely,
EggBer, Pubes, and Mr. Lucky O’LickMeister
Don’t make me choose between you assholes and my children, because they are a great tax deduction, and I’d hate to miss out on that extra dough.
I hope you would choose your children over me – they probably poop less in their drawers then I do.
