Good for you! There's healthy eating and then there's depravity, and letting that oatmeal bread go uneaten would definitely have fallen into the latter camp... :)
Jen - First bread in 6-1/2 weeks. Now the question is: Can I stop??!
Sparkless - Lots of butter, FOR SURE!
Susan - A wild, maniacal glint!!
Fiona - While falling asleep last night I had thoughts of French Toast made with the bread for breakfast today. But I've regained my senses and ate an orange instead. (It was good, but didn't taste anything like French Toast.)
Oh Dear, Woman-----you just made me spit my coffee all over the computer. Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great laugh I had over this. And let me apologize for making you misbehave. But c'mon-life's tooooo short to miss out on FRESHLY BAKED BREAD. My husband had to come running in to see what I was laughing so hard about. You are a dear!!
Our daughter stopped in yesterday right before the loaves went into the oven and exclaimed over how lovely they looked. Then this morning when she dropped her dogs off on her way to work (doggie daycare, you know), she made chatty conversation for a couple of minutes and then asked, "Can I have a slice of that bread with some jam?" She doesn't know it yet but I'm planning on sending the remainder of the loaf home with her tonight. The other loaf went to our neighbors this morning.
Jane2 - Ha! It wasn't great willpower when I stuffed two slices into my mouth!
You want to know the first thought that went through my head when I saw this picture????? Ok, I'll tell you. "Wow, she looks young." Not that I thought you were old or anything, but I really think it's the bread!! Maybe I should make some too??? ~~Lori
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.

Only TWO slices?? I'd call that some supreme willpower, LOL
LOL! But they were thick slices with lots of butter, right?
Geez, Mama Pea - I'd have had half the loaf gone within seconds! There is a glint in your eye....

That looks delish, good for you! Anxiously awaiting the recipe -I'll have hubby make it since he is far better with bread than I!
Love your post! Can't wait for the recipe!
I think we can all agree that since homemade bread is healthier than store-bought, a slice or two is vital to your good health!
Erin - Recipe comin' right up here if I don't get called away from the desk again!
Toodie - Thanks for commenting! Doing a blog post with the recipe right after I'm done here.
Ruth - Girl, do I like your philosophy!!
LOL! GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Get those energy carbs in you!
:)
Rain - Yay, energy carbs!!
