Garlic Baguette

Inspired by Elaine's delicious-looking Garlic Loaf, when Jim baked the latest loaf of no-knead bread (it never lasts in our house!) he reserved enough dough to bake a garlic baguette. He roasted the garlic in the oven in a foil packet with some olive oil and added it to the dough. We used about a dozen cloves, but it could have used more. In any event, it was gone by the end of dinner. My only regret was not using the additional cloves of roasted garlic as a spread, because that would have been beyond delicious. Next time, for sure. I just won't be kissing anybody, especially any vampires.

Collaboration with my little buddy

I've been working with my 4 year old son on doing chores regularly, and what motivates a kid like stickers and prizes?

He and I put together this little sticker chart.  It was actually really hard to find stickers that symbolized making the bed, and I'm not a good drawer!

But we used what we had.  But once this chart is full and we need a new one, I bought the Cricut Chore Chart cartridge!
