Dolls and bread we can believe in
The other day on one of my many trips to Lowe's I found this under the windshield wiper of our car when I came back out after buying supplies:
I'm guessing someone saw our Obama '08 bumper sticker and that's why they gave us these cheesy cheap Obama dolls. Here's a close up of them, I love Michelle's blue eye shadow:
Sparky had a snow day today, her office was closed due to the snow and cold so she decided to bake some bread. She made the dough and it rose as we watched Barack Obama become our 44th President. After the dough was risen and Obama was sworn in and gave his speech, she made this in honor of this historic day:
Mmmmmm, fresh baked bread we can believe in. Oh happy day!
Those dolls are awesome! And I love that someone randomly left them for you! Oh happy day indeed!
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet. Obread. That's an icon!
ReplyDeleteYou and Sparks were made for each other!
ReplyDeleteI love that you got those dolls under your wipers. That was a very cool gesture.
Isn't fresh bread the best? I've made a loaf just about every weekend for the last 2 1/2 months....it's really not all that hard to do, and the results are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIf you end up with leftover bread that has gone stale, I found a great technique in Cooks magazine for making bread crumbs (besides toasting that is). They would cut up the bread, and them microwave it on low for 5 to 8 minutes, stopping every once and awhile to let the steam in the bread evaporate out, then dropping it in the chopper once the bread had dried. This makes crumbs that aren't dark brown, and are superfine in grain.
Coat a pounded chicken breast with that and fry it up (or bake, for my monkey friends with heart problems), and brother, that's good eating!
Yikes that was long, that could have been a blog post!
Love the dolls!! The bread looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI had Cheerios for breakfast this morning. Must have been a subconscious celebration.
ReplyDeleteI love those dolls! I love that bread! Great post.
ReplyDeleteFresh baracked bread! mmmm!
ReplyDeleteLove that eye shadow and those white boots too.
there is nothing like the smell of bread baking!
ReplyDeleteWoot, woot ya'll!! O-Bread, O-Dolls, Cheeri-O!
ReplyDeleteMmmm homemade bread…
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I’m sad that they weren’t “real” Barbie’s? Oh well, it was still a nice gesture.

Intersting look to the dolls - but fresh baked "O" bread - ya got me!
ReplyDeleteLove those dolls!
ReplyDeleteI was planning to bring O-nuts to work today, but didn't get up early enough. It was like a holiday at work!!!! Everyone was watching live on CNN or just taking the day off to celebrate.
Hmmm, dolls and bread. This is the kind of post that makes go "Oooooo!"
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful O-loaf. A testament to the day!
ReplyDeleteI love it when dolls/action figures look nothing like the people they're meant to represent.
ReplyDeleteLove the giant bagel.
