On Bread and Bread

It's days like today when I feel like Jen Lancaster. I'm frustrated at employers who won't hire me because I am "overqualified." I'm terrified at the future and how I'll manage to survive. It's hard to drag myself out of bed, sometimes, because what is there except a dwindling list of postings on Craigslist to check? And oh god, I can sympathize with her weight gain because stress, boredom, and access make me want to eat sugary fatty foods all day long.

Today, in yet another of a series of underwhelming disappointments, I realized I cannot accept a test-grading job in Auburn, because it would require me to take five buses and spend five hours a day in transit. I realize I need a job, but that goes beyond ridiculous.

So I'll return to my kitchen and my quest to bring everyone a simple and tasty bread recipe. I've made a basic white, I've made a half-white/half-wheat, and now I'm making a potato-water white. I'll let you know which one wins...
