Hi I have had a few requests for this braided bread recipe, so here ya go...
2 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 1/4 cups very warm water
5 cups flour
1/2 cup soft margarine
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar egg yolk with 1 Tblsp. milk
*combine the yeast, 1 1/2 cups of the flour, salt and sugar, pour in the water and stir until smooth. Mix in soft margarine and eggs, slowly add remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and divide into 2 peices. Divide each of those into 3 peices. Roll out like little snakes and braid. Each recipe makes 2 loaves. Let rise again, brush with egg and milk mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees. ENJOY!


I just made dinner and I was proud of myself. I even made the noodles from scratch. It was really easy, but it kind of looks like witches hair. Yum Yum.
Last night we had a reading night at the school. This is a picture of my friend Kjiersten(she was in charge of the big event) and Jeff and Carson. I told them all to say ARGH like a pirate in the picture. Kjiersten threatened me if I put this on my blog, so I guess the game is on right. It was a great night.!!

Here is Jeff, he was invited to read a story to the kids dressed up like a pirate. It was very cute, he talked in a scruffy voice like a pirate. I laughed! He did a good job and might I say he is a pretty hot pirate.

We also had a death in the family this week. Carson hamster bit the dust, poor Peanut. He came upstairs carying the cage and said she was dead. I asked him what he thought we should do with her now(meaning bury her or what) and he said, "well I guess we should give her to someone else now". Good idea buddy.
