Day 21 - Almost done
Today I had to just admit defeat of sorts and use something that’s not an extra ‘thing’ as my ‘thing’. Just dinner. *sigh* It’s not even pretty to photograph, but it was tasty. My First Grader did the requisite “But I HATE roast/spaghetti/meal du jour!!!” whining, but admitted it was ‘good’. So I’ll rest on those laurels until the next dinner time arrives. FYI, it’s just a roast, pot roast, whatever, done in the crock pot.
The bread, however, is a different story. I need to get a new recipe or finesse this one. I want a nice whole wheat with something in it for texture (I threw oatmeal into this). The one in the photo is just from the Kitchen Aid manual as I was using my new mixer for the dough. I want it to rise a bit more and be able to utilize it for sandwich bread. But it was still good, hot out of the oven with some butter melting, First Grader was quite pleased.

I’m envious that you have a first grader willing to eat pot roast. My second grader wouldn’t even consider it. The bread looks terrific as well.
