STOP THAT THIEF!

Soooo….I quietly go about making the family bread…but started noticing that each time I was making it, the regular crowd would stream in through the kitchen for a slab, fresh out of the oven with some butter…but SOMEONE was tearing these big chunks out of the loaves! 

This couldn’t be my precious children doing this! *gasp!* nah….I thought this was a husband move for sure….alas, I caught the little thief, red handed!! 

 

I was close, not my husband, but his son! Okay, my son…..but I couldn’t believe it! My husband says to take it as a compliment, he loves your homemade bread….just to prove he loves it….he did it again the next time I made bread, he knocked over the 25# bag of spuds I had there as a deterent, and used them as a step!

He’s so darned cute, it’s hard to get mad….lol!  Guess if I want prefect loaves I’d best find a new place to cool them……up much higher!

Nah….I’ll just leave ‘em low….gives  a good feeling that even the 1.5yo appreciates Mamas homemade bread, even if he is running thru the kitchen grabbing hunks and running away….giggling all the way :)

Homemade Bread anyone?
