A Couple of Recipes

Last week I got the itch for some homemade bread.
I don't know where it came from. I can't rememeber the last time I made bread.
Maybe it was inspired but the Amish Friendship bread living on my counter.
Anyway, I made some of the "easiest bread you will ever make."
Turned out, it lived up to the name and was delicious.


For some reason, I also whipped up two batches of granola. For the first time ever.
The first batch was good but relied a bit heavily on spices for my taste.
The second batch was delicious.  Next time I make it, I'll use a bit less sweetener, a pinch of spice, and I'll add some dried fruit.

Kid Rock Rocks. Really.

My mom loves Kid Rock. Doesn't your mom?
I heard on the radio that he was going to be in town on March 1 which just so happened to overlap with mom's trip to Memphis.
I told Bigs and for Christmas he got her four tickets to the show.


We were all  a bit nervous because he had to cancel his show in East Tennessee just days before the Memphis show due to pneumonia.
When he didn't cancel, we discussed that maybe we were only going to get half a show. We were wrong! 
He was great! Just a solid performer. And dude is definitely smart. He knows his crowd and he works it well.
I haven't stayed up past 10pm in a long while but this show was worth it.
