Kitchen Goals

I've now decided that I want to start making my own peanut butter and bread. We'll see how this goes. Maybe this is just nesting or maybe it's time to realize that some things are just better to do yourself. Besides, I'm tired of the Oatmeal bread that falls apart and don't always want whole grain or multi-grain. If I make the bread myself than I can do any combination of white/whole wheat that works for that week. As for the peanut butter - I buy natural peanut butter but it gets unspreadable by the end of the jar and I end up throwing some out. What a waste.

Martha Is My Hero

As a big fan of unrealistic expectations, I am also a big fan of Martha Stewart. While I am unable to even come close to attempting her crafts or gardening feats, I am always up for her kitchen challenges. I only wish that I had her space for an extensive collection of dishes and serverware. After all, I am my mother's daughter and rarely put the cooking dish on the table. It appears that my daughter is following in my footsteps with her play kitchen too. Success!

Imagine my delight when I checked celebrity birthdays for August 3 and found out that if all goes according to plan, my second child will be born on both my father's birthday and Martha Stewart's birthday!
