Let's see. I made some bread...FROM SCRATCH! Like...I made my own dough, rolled it out, all that jazz! The hardest part was waiting. Rising and deflating and cooking and baking...that's a lot of waiting. I can cross off bread baker from my list of prospective jobs! It was fun to pretend to be a domestic Debbie.
Cinnamon sugar pull apart bread OH. MY. YUM!
I also made something else. Before my grandmother passed away in March, she always made THE BEST spaghetti sauce. Literally...it was so good. When she was starting to get weaker, she taught the recipe to my aunt. It was not the same, but pretty close! Well, the other day, I decided to attempt the sauce..and it came out pretty darn good!
Granted, I looked at the recipe over and over, and re-looked at it to make sure I didn't miss anything. I get so OCD when following a recipe..it's a sickness!
I then ventured to Kareoke on Saturday night and we met up with my friend and her boyfriend!! But first Kurt and I had our own little Kareoke sesh.
Teehee! :-D Raven, I tried tweeting you a video I made of me singing B-Spears Toxic on the car ride (a Boston radio station was playing a huuuge britney mix and it made me think of you!) but it wouldn't send! Boo!
We got to Kareoke, which was at a Chinese restaurant, and the place was PACKED! So there went any chance of me getting up there.
But somehow, after two cocktails and half a shot, (I can't take shots...I sip at them haha) I found myself submitting my song choice.
I had originally hoped to do Lil Wayne's, A Milli, because during a long car ride a few years ago, I learned EVERY SINGLE WORD, but the Kareoke guy didn't have it!
I do have the video of me rapping...but I don't know if I'm ready to show the blog world. Maybe if you're one of the lucky few that I can text it to haha!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!

Bravo for your bread baking skills. I looooooove homemade spag sauce.. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
And I am pretty sure you should post your eminem rap! (or at least send it to mee!) ;) holla!
I would like to suggest a bread machine. It is one of the best kitchen appliances ever made. You literally just put everything in and press the button and it takes care of the mixing, rising, kneading, baking.
I'm going to try that pull-apart bread this weekend (assuming it isn't too hot). It looks yummy!
oh god, I'm the same way when I follow any recipes! lol & you should def. post your Eminem video!
I am the same way with following recipes!! haha The bread looks good!
That bread looks soo delicious!! Good work. Oh rapping, good times.
Seriously, you need to vlog more often...you crack me up! And I love that Kurt was a good sport to appear on camera, even though his countdown ended up with "the bird". :) And um, hello? I NEED TO SEE YOU RAPPING TO EMINEM! Pretty please with sugar on top?!
Dinner with friends, fresh bread, your grandmother's spaghetti sauce and sleeping in until 1pm...? Sounds like a lovely weekend any way you look at it!
Have a great week, friend! xo
Sadly I did not do this but for sake of being silly....
"TRUE LIFE: I JUST PEED MY PANTS!"
you crack me up! <3 kudos on baller bread and your gram's sauce! come make both for me? =) i swear i'll even eat them TOGETHER if you want! haha
I firmly believe that any food I have ever created from a recipe was only bad because the recipe was bad. I'm SO OCD about following a recipe that it is ridiculous. I also color inside the lines and freak out if it's not perfect. I think the two are related.
I want to eat that bread. And that spaghetti sauce. Literally, right now.
You go! Awfully domestic :) and every girl needs a little weezy in their life
Kurt's response is PERFECT.
You two crack me up!
That bread looks amazing!!
I want to learn how to make spaghetti sauce, but let's be real ... opening a can is just a lot easier. Soooo, I probably shouldn't kid myself.
I loveeee eminem so I think you made a great choice on your karaoke selection.
that food looks delish!!! and you are brave... i can rap Lil Kim's Queen Bee... but it's very... shady? lol
LMAO! "Erica, I don't want the last thing before I die to be singing this song..." LOL! That made me crack up! :)

Oh goodness. I want that bread and sauce RIGHT NOW. I loved your rapping and what Curt said to you at the end.. hahahaaa. I also love the fact that you chose "real slim shady" for karaoke. pretty sure it doesn't get much cooler than you are. and, I think I need to see that video. For cheering-up purposes. Is that a good enough excuse? lol :-)
