working on it

Well, once again I have been tempted to believe that I too can join the hoards of people able to successfully bake homemade bread.
The problem with this is clear, Galon would tell you, due to the at least half a dozen failed attempts in the past.
But nevertheless, here it goes.
After beginning to re-read Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day I've decided at this point in my life, I have plenty of the time they say it will take for me to put some decent, wholesome goodness on our table and in the lunchboxes.
So, for now, here are the things I plan on purchasing to make it happen:

a pizza peel (large wooden or metal slab to transfer dough and loaves.)
a storage container (for the dough, which apparently gets tastier the closer it gets to the end of its two -week long shelf life.)
some fresh yeast (cause after all this excitement, it would be a bummer to start with some dud bacteria.)

that's all I need (other items, flour, water, baking stone and knife, we already have at the house. score.)

In other home warming updates, I also am planning to mix up some homemade dish washing and clothes washing detergent (two separate recipes, don't be concerned...) this weekend. Will post details on how it goes and if it works next week.
Borax, here I come!
