Doing Not Thinking Challenge

Here are my Goals for the Doing Not Thinking Challenge:
1. I had a goal of 50 books for this year and passed it so to myself I had quietly said 100. So now outloud I say I want to get 100 books read this year.
2. Bake more bread instead of buying — I always have back up bought loaves in the freezer and somehow they always get used and then I get another. So I want to committ to making my own bread more often.
3. Which leads to this one — learning how to make buns — hamburger and hotdog buns. We eat brats and hot dogs quite a bit during the summer and although it is ending soon I have been wanting to make buns for a while. So maybe I can have them mastered by next summer. I found some good instructions in a Beth Hensperger book and setting this goal I believe will help me just do it!


So an update on my progress:
1. I am up to 86 books.
2. I used the last of the dough from my first batch of Artisian Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I really enjoyed the dough and just having it there in the fridge to use. It is a keeper in my book especially since it worked with high altitude cooking. It tastes good, looks good and is easy to handle.
3. I still haven't made any progress on this goal and I don't see that happening this week at all either.
