I’m on day 3 of my fantasy vacation and it’s awesome. My fantasy? That I am retired.
Day one was spent running errands. I bought a new lampshade, replaced the switch in the lamp, bought a new bathroom rug, and went to numerous kitchen remodel places to look at cabinets, countertops, flooring, doors and etc.
Day two [...]
So, anyway.
I just altogether stopped blogging when I got on the Facebook. It’s so much easier just to write those obscure one-line status updates.
Then, I couldn’t really remember how to log in here and make a post, so that became a challenge. Obviously I overcame it. But for what? I am so boring.
I work, I relax, [...]
I know you’re probably tired of hearing it, but the bagels are such a success! Yesterday, Sean made Jalapeno bagels, and made half of them jalapeno SALT bagels. Toast one of those babies, and add cream cheese and what do you have? Jalapeno Poppers! So awesome.
Beautiful day today, didn’t do much. Ate bagels, went to [...]
Driving to work yesterday, I saw a dog limping across the a busy street. When I saw he had a collar and tags on, I knew I couldn’t just drive by. I usually do, but this time I knew I could probably find his owners.
I did a quick u-turn, and by the time I got [...]
It’s all bagels, all the time here at happygoodluck. Here’s what a little recipe from Cooks Illustrated can do for you.
I made my own high gluten flour by useing 4 cups of bread flour, and enhancing it with 8 teaspoons of gluten. I also added about a tablespoon of molasses in place of the Malt Barley [...]
It just so happened that yesterday became convenient to take off from work. I worked about an hour from home in the morning and then the day was mine. A four day weekend!
I celebrated by trying to make bagels again.
This time, I used a different recipe and had a modicrum of success. Texture is ok, [...]
Today, inspired by this post on worldofjulie.com, I decided that I, the owner of a brand new KitchenAid mixer, could make bagles and it would be really cool! To my knowlege, since Bagful of Bagels closed, there is just nowhere to get a good bagel.
So, armed with a set of fliker photos with instructions on how [...]
Today I made cookies, and my mixer just would not help. I’m afraid it’s useful life is over. Of course I was able to mix everything by hand, but you know what? When I’m 80, I’m still going to want cookies and I probably won’t have the strength. So I finally made the decision to [...]
It’s completely gross, but totally cool that Sean found some Gordian Worms on his walk today.
They are a beneficial parasite because they eat crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, beetles and snails. They are not harmful to humans or pets.
I’ve never seen or heard of them before, but if they do away with bugs that have an exoskeleton [...]
I finally decided to measure the space between my countertops and the cabinets. I can’t fit a KitchenAid mixer in my Kitchen! So no decision has been made on that front, unless I come across a spectacular bargain. I KNOW you were all dying to know.
Sean and I have just finished all four seasons of [...]
