Okay, so, have I ever mentioned that particular weather events make we want to cook very specific things? It is a fairly strange phenomonon, but I have learned to go with it when it happens and things usually turn out pretty well. An example of this is snow. A couple of weeks ago, mother nature brought us about 1'' of snow. There is just something about the snow that makes me want to bake bread. Mix the yeast in some warm water, get my bowl* off the wall and get to work. As a direct result of the snow, I baked a french cheese braid. Absolutely delicioso. Yes, in cse you were wondering, those are little pieces of cheese kneeded and baked right into the loaf. Bread + cheese = heaven!
* A bowl is a large, round, handcarved peice of wood from Belize that women use there almost like a countertop in the kitchen.
