I'm not sure last night's bread-making experiment was entirely successful.

Here's the thing: if you've been reading here for awhile, you know I have a ludicrously spotty history with baking of any kind. Sometimes it works...sometimes it really, really doesn't. And there's no big mystery here; I know why my baking experiments don't always (ok, don't usually) turn out as planned, and the answer is that I'm a lazy mess when it comes to using for-real measuring devices. I figure, hey, that looks more or less like a cup of milk...I'm sure it'll be fine.

And do I learn my lesson?

I do not! Because I believe that the power of positive thinking can conquer even basic chemistry. (Or, fine: it's probably more the aforementioned lazy mess thing.)
