Adventures in bread making

Well I have had a bread machine for about a week now. But we have been sick and I am just trying it out. I made a french loaf and it turned out very good. Our son had to get up to see what the noise was and I told him he could watch the bread being kneaded. So he pulled up a chair and I had to snap a photo, thought that was just to cute. This is my first time using a bread machine, but I have made bread totally by hand. That bread did not turn out as good as I thought it might. It was chewy and hard crusted. That was not to my liking, I had found that reciepe in Mother Earth News and they said the bread was made alot during the depression. Well I am so glad things have improved :-)) Although some may like that kind of bread, I prefer the one I just made today!

Whiskey and goats

This is funny to me, we bought a Nigerian Dwarf goat to keep our New company so he would not be the lone male. Tammy who we bought our other Nigerian's from sold him to us. She had already named him and his name is.... Evan Williams. Yes Evan Williams, my husband said so now we have a goat named after some whiskey! I told him I did not know that! LOL! Oh, well, he knows his name and we just usually call him Evan anyway. Evan Williams is a mouth full :-)) Evan is quite nice and friendly too. Such a sweet heart, he is also small for being just about a year old or so. He is not much over 21 inches I think. Quite short, poor guy, he will sit in my lap or just let me hold him like a lap dog :-))) So precious!!!!!!
