Boy do I feel dumb

When we were in Maui we stopped in on this "Doggy Boutique" type of store and I found this this t-shirt:

I thought "Wow! That was fast!" Later I learned it's a different Jacob.

Please no more shower caps!

I don't bake THAT much.

My next post about Maui was going to be this:

Me "stealing" the complimentary cap from the B&B we stayed at.

But I already have way more caps than I need and I have a feeling more are still on their way.

Maui: Surfing Goat Dairy

Last weekend we escaped to Maui for a couple of days.

One of the places we visited was the Surfing Goat Dairy.

As you would expect they had goats.

And lots of them .

If you take the tour you can even feed them. We didn't take the tour.

But we did see a lot of kids.

No children just kids. (As in baby goats.)

This guy kept pushing his head into my hand. I think he missed his mommy's milk.

Then I thought he wanted to lick my leg.

But as it turned out he was only interested in my pants.

My Favorite Song This Minute

Badly Drawn Boy "The Time Of Times"

Sorry I haven't been able to post as often lately.

But I was listening to this tune on a mix CD I made for Terry yesterday and I just kept restarting it over and over.

"Rat Dropping" bread

The dough that so many of you said looked like the rats got into it, was actually a fennel raisin almond dough.

It was my most labor intensive ( I had to candy and juice the fennel) but I really loved the flavor.

Hands down my greatest toast. And check out the green color it has from the fennel juice.

Bread Making Tip One: Shower Caps

Man I love using shower caps to cover my dough while I wait for the first rise.

I know there are specific bread rising buckets that people may use. And someday I might buy said buckets.

Before I would either try to cover the bowls loosely with plastic wrap or set a plate on top.

But then I read somewhere about the suggestion of a shower cap and I love it.

I can't wait to stay in a hotel again just so I can steal another one.

Oh Cha Cha You Have to Try Harder

Uh... No I wasn't in Armageddon. And there is no character called Hurley in that movie either.
