I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!We had a casualty in the food waste department this week...one that I did not even see coming, and didn't notice until Sunday! It was my homemade bread. Sadly, I even discovered it when I went to make a sandwich! It was very upsetting. I lost about half a loaf because we didn't eat it fast enough. Luckily for me, The Frugal Girl blogged today about storing homemade bread, so when I make my next loaf (most likely tomorrow, as I'm quite busy today) I will most definitely be using some of her preservation tips.
It was interesting to note that, according to her, the reason it doesn't last as long as store bread is because it doesn't contain any preservatives in it. Of course I knew this in the back of my mind, but I needed the reminder. It made me happy that I didn't succumb and buy store bread yesterday after discovering our ruined bread, and it makes me really happy that I have the time (for now, at least) to make our own bread. Though I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go back to store bought bread again, at least for sandwiches!
Sometimes a nice reaffirmation that I'm doing the right thing (or a good thing) is nice.
