Treating Myself

I have many a fond memory that involve warm foccacia bread. Back at bakery school one of my favorite classes was the breads course. Amazing instructor, labor intensive production, and a very delicious selection of baked goods- even I didn't mind rolling out of bed at 5 a.m.

I figured the kids wouldn't want any, so making it was my own little treat for myself. There are just so many reasons to love this bread- from the crispy edges to the tasty toppings. I like to keep it CIA standard by using sauteed onions & rosemary. Just so happens that my children both love it that way too.

Speaking of treats for myself- I also decided, after a ridiculous amount of debating, to purchase a Liberty of London chemise that I have been swooning over every trip to Target. I have eyed it for almost a month now, and have always decided to pass it up because I would have no place to wear it. And then, after an incredible revelation, I decided there is no better place to wear it than in my kitchen, while making bread. As a bonus to me, it only set me back $18.
A wonderful way to finish my day- in my favorite new dress, eating my favorite bread, with my favorite little boy.

P.S. Just saw this, and I am so, so thrilled! Thanks again, everyone, for voting and for all of the wonderful comments!
