No Knead

In last month’s issue of Cook’s Illustrated, they published a recipe for a variation on the no-knead bread that originally was published in the NY Times. Winemonkey and I made it last weekend and although it showed great potential, there was too much liquid. So I started a batch last night and tested my little plastic measuring cup. Turns out it is COMPLETELY wrong. So this time is already looking better than the last time. Once I have the recipe nailed down, I will take some pictures.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Barack Obama’s speech. Over again. For the fourth time. Because that man is an amazing public speaker.

Winemonkey’s Surprise

Last Friday, I wanted to surprise Winemonkey with a massage at Mellow Me Out. So I told him that we had an “Appointment, err,, I mean reservation” and that he needed to pick me up from work at 4:30. The whole week, I played it up like we were going to an early bird special or a dinner far away. I believe he had no idea what was going on.

So when he picked me up at 4:30 on Friday and I drive us into the Bank of America parking lot, he was pretty confused.

I said, “I think today is the day that we open a joint checking account.”

And he says, “At Bank of America?!?! I hate Bank of America. You know that I had an account with them before and I thought it was awful. What made you pick Bank of America?!? Did your financial panther tell you this was a good idea?”

And I say, “Look it is the right time for us. And we really need to start saving.”

Winemonkey: “Why aren’t we opening a joint saving account.”

Me: “We can discuss that once we are inside.”

Then we proceed to the second floor of the bank building, where the day spa is and he finally figures out that I am not making him open an account with me after all… but treating him to a super duper massage. =)

I love my little Winemonkey because is so much fun to surprise!

Later he told me that he thought I was taking us to the bank so that we could sign papers for a home loan. Maybe next time my love…. maybe next time.
