make it better

for the last several months, i've been on a quest to find grandpa mannix's dill bread recipe. we know it has sour cream and cottage cheese in it. i thought i found it, but it didn't call for any water or milk. sour cream and cottage cheese were the only liquids.
so it tastes yummy but it's pretty dense. it didn't rise very much because i don't think the yeast got wet enough. soo back to the drawing board. i think i'm going to combine a few recipes and see what happens.

and my sustainable shoes came in the mail today. a little wide but otherwise great. really comfy.
now if only we could do something about those banged up taiwanese legs.

p.s. is there anything worse than loving people you meet and then finding out that they're sarah palin enthusiasts? these three elderly women who were also volunteering at the musical in the park tonight were so sweet. we bonded over book club books, teaching and stale popcorn. then one of them had to go and mention how sarah palin is such a good writer. ...

  1. Dude, that's what my legs look like post-Asia, toooo! In my case it's Vietnam's fault though :p I was getting my pink Jcrew dress tailored today and the scars just looked wrong with the dress in the full-length mirror...

  2. Hahaha silly ladies, Sarah Palin doesn't know how to write! Can we say ghost-writer?!

  3. they were speculating about that. one woman said 'there might have been a co-author.. but they didn't write very much.'
    i didn't say a word and it took a whole lot of self control. :)
