Then I made the dough. When I used rapid rise yeast, the bread did not rise rapidly as promised. This was probably in part due to the recipe telling me to just mash all the ingredients together, in no particular order. The dough for that recipe was really tough, and I had to break it into about 8 pieces just to knead it to the right consistency. This time it worked out much better, and the dough did what it was supposed to.
When it was done, it looked like this:
Joe might have had a piece or two, but otherwise, I ate all of it in about two days. I thought about making more yesterday when it became apparent that there wouldn't be any left for today, but then I had second thoughts about maintaining my all-carb diet for much longer.
On a non-cooking note, now that it's cold in New York, I've been seeing a lot of fur coats out and about, and it reminded me that I think fur coats are just about one of the ugliest types of coats a person can wear. Maybe I haven't seen a nice expensive one, but all the ones I see look really cheap, possibly because it takes multiple pieces of fur to patchwork together into a jacket. My next thought about fur coats is that if it's a nice one, and it's actually soft, wouldn't you rather have the soft fur on the INSIDE of the coat instead of the outside? Seems like it would stay nice longer, be softer and cozier for you instead of for the random hobo sitting next to you on the train, and then it could be your own dirty little secret and no one would know to throw red paint at you. Right?

but what would be on the outside of the fur coat?
gore-tex?
Ohhh, no one would ever guess it was a fur-lined coat if the outside was gore-tex! But really, fur coats are so ugly anyway, the outside might as well be some ridiculous poncho or something.
