Ever made a mistake at something and thought that you figured out what went wrong? Then you tried it again expecting perfect results and.....voila! TOTAL DISASTER! This has been my experience for the past two weeks as I tried my hand at making bread in my breadmaker machine. I couldn't figure out why my bread wasn't rising properly until I realized I was using self-rising flour thinking that it was bread flour. So this morning, I opened a new bag of bread flour, followed the recipe carefully and visualized the awesome bread I would soon be buttering and eating. Here's the end result:

So, I got to thinking about how life is a lot like my experience with the bread machine. Just when you think you have the problem solved, you find out that you gotta keep on looking for another way. Don't worry, I'm not giving up on this...I know I can make it work. I am however taking suggestions.....
