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 84 books. I was hoping it would be 85 but just didn't happen.
2. I used the master dough recipe from Artisian Bread in Five Minutes a Day and I made 2 loaves of bread from it. And it worked really well even in with high altitude cooking. It tastes good, looks good and is easy to handle.
3. Didn't make any progress on this goal.

Late with my update because of the holiday yesterday. We had Michael's parents in for Labor Day so was being hostess.
