Weekend Delights

It was a quiet weekend. I had taken Friday off and planned on doing a lot of resting, which I certainly did. Taking Friday off and not biking to Milwaukee turned out to be good ideas. I woke up at 5:30 on Saturday, which can only be a sign that I was no longer exhausted.

And then I proceeded to cook like a fiend.

Saturday saw me make: multi-grain granola, potato and leek soup, oatmeal blueberry bread (where I used leftover oatmeal to make a chewy, slightly sweet bread), and dill pickles.

Sunday's haul: beet soup, another loaf of bread, and a chicken. I saved the leftovers to make stock, which I'm quite excited about.

It's been five months of not buying bread. And if I can learn how to make my own pickles, I'll be really excited.
