Round Twenty Nine — Five Herb Bread

Greetings, dear readers! I would just like to share with you my excitement over the fact that it is not only Friday, but the weekend. And not just any weekend, no no. It’s Memorial Day weekend, those glorious three days of respite in which we the people are able to bask in the summer sun for the first time since it peaked its head after winter’s sweet goodbye. My plans for this mini-vacation?

Eat.
Drink.
Be Merry.
Get a tan (while wearing protective sunscreen, of course!).
Hike.
Beach.
Road trip.
Errands (boo).
Bake.

What are your plans for this wonderful weekend? I hope one of them involves reading my very last post (sniffle) on Tablespoon.com — Five Herb Bread. Incentive: I discuss my obsession with herbs. This may or may not be a medical condition. My husband, who is in his first week of graduate school at UI, will get back to me on that one.

For now, I’m off to enjoy my three days of relaxation. Au revoir, friends! I bid you glad tidings and a dose of summer sun as well.

P.S. Keep checking in over here at Girl Versus Dough. Mama’s coming home soon, I promise!

Round Twenty Eight — Sweet Potato & Sage Bread

Holy heck it’s hot outside! What is it with this Iowa weather? First we have a deluge of cold, rainy days, and now it’s like the freaking Amazon. Do. Not. Understand.

The husband and I are in an epic battle with the A/C right now. Our strategy is to stand in front of fans at high speed all day long. We have failed once already but, as the late siren Aaliyah once proclaimed, you’ve got to pick yourself up and try again. Or maybe it was Abraham Lincoln.

For now, another recipe on Tablespoon.com to console you in these times of scorching heat. Sweet Potato & Sage Bread, anyone? Yes, please and thank you. You’re so polite.

P.S. Friends! I love comments, either on my blog or on my Tablespoon post! Please let me know what you think — the good, the bad and the ugly. Hit me with ‘em. I want to know your thoughts.
