Sherlock Dan has solved the Case of the Crumbly Bread.

And like most cases, the reason is pure idiocy on my behalf. I thought I put in 340ml of water. But, the measuring cup is 200ml and I put in 200ml and then another 40ml thinking I'd already had 300ml in there.

So did another one last night with the correct amount of water and the result was pure, heavenly breadiness worthy of Jesus himself.

Maths. Every. Single. Time.

I'm not entirely sure the skipping rope misstepped was showmanship there. I think he messed up. Music went off and stopped the whole thing.

Maybe you are right, but I didn't get that impression based on the show as a whole.

I'll give it a go next time.

I got one of those Bread Mix's from Safeway to see how it goes.

Yeah. But he gave it another go and did it, and then went around blindfolded.

Yeah following from the book that came with it. It just doesn't seem like it's enough, like it doesn't bind because it's too dry still.

It's a Breville Bakers Dozen.

Took little one to the circus on the weekend. It was really awesome but this moment scared the living christ out of me.

I bought a breadmaker on the weekend and have produced 2 poor attempts. They're really crumbly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe not enough liquid when it does the kneading.

I reckon this is the most stress-free I've been in the last 5 years haha.

Brown or black rice.

And somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 a cup.

How was everyone's weekend?

Since moving out on my own, I've put on weight. I don't know how. I'm eating healthy, my dinners are usually a combo of chicken, veggies, and rice (sometimes no rice), I don't eat much during the day and don't snack as much. No soft drink, mostly water, very little chocolate or sugary snacks. It's frustrating so I decided to do some more active work. I went for a run on Sat and Sun morning and feeling it today.

Old age is a killer.

I also bought some boxing gloves and a punching bag to do as well and plan on getting a bike to do rides with little one.

I got three concept ideas for my next book cover and all three are amazing. I'm stuck between 2 to choose from. Good problem to have.

He better be heavyweight champion of the world by the end of the show.

Imperfect, train wreck characters who are so damn compelling.

Cutty better not die though. I lose myself in his eyes.

I look forward to each season and the version of the theme they'll play

It helps where a good chunk of the cast are ex criminals and cops.

No kidding?

For real. I can't pretend to know what any of that life is like, but it's unceremonious to say the least.

Watching The Wire for the first time ever. Why they have to do him like that (end of season 3). Best part of the show.

Catfish? Who is Catfish? My name is Guy Incognito.

I am looking to get a bike to go for rides with my daughter (and ride to work), are the Fluid bikes from Anaconda any good? They look to have good reviews on the site. Unfortuntely they don't have any in stock where I am so I can't even try it out.
