Wheat Bread

O.k. my unplanned weekend was rather boring. I made wheat bread for the first time. The first loaf, with olive oil in it, was perfect. The second loaf (without oil) was terrible. I'd like to make a low fat wheat bread so I'm going to try again without the oil and maybe I will use skim milk instead of water. I also made lemon bread and gave away little loaves to my mom, aunt and neighbor. The lemon bread was perfect.

Nothing exciting about this weekend. I took my 92 year old aunt out grocery shopping, while I shopped for myself and my mother who is recovering from surgery. My aunt is blind but very independent. I tried to casually help her find things in the store. (If I give her too much help she doesn't like it.) I rented DVD's and I'm disappointed that many of the popular movies are really dumb. The only one I liked was "The Curse of the Were Rabbit" which is a Wallace and Gromit movie. I'm a big fan of their work and it was creative and funny. They promote their movie as the world's first vegetarian horror movie.

The rest of the weekend was filled with cleaning, laundry and bill paying. I felt like a hermit this weekend, as I did not socialize very much. I suppose a boring weekend like this helps make a planned weekend seem so much better. I have an arts conference to go to this upcoming Saturday and a party on Saturday night so next weekend should be much more exciting.
