oh dear

well friends….it’s  happened. I am hopeless. I just got off the phone with my mom and well she asked me a few days ago what i wanted for graduation. Instead of asking for money, or grown up clothes, or any other regular college grad present I asked for a food processor. I know I know “gosh Leslie you’re such a freaking housewife! Stop cooking and go make your house messy and eat at burger king” But I just can’t stop. I love cooking I love cleaning. I love doing laundry. I love being wifey. Sorry. Who knew? Well I guess everyone. But it kind of surprised me.

….well husband just came in and may have convinced me to throw the food processor out the window and ask for money to go on a road trip….to maybe see someone we love.

At lovely Courtney’s request here it is. It’s the beer bread recipe- so easy, so good:

1 bottle of beer (ben chessman’s home brew is preferred by most)
3 Cups self-rising flour
3 Tablespoons of sugar

Mix it all together. It will get really sticky. Only mix it until everything is combined. If you mix it for too long the bread will come out really tough and no good. Bake in a 9×5 bread pan at 350 for 50-60 minutes. It’s so so good with tons of butter or cheese. If you want to get real crazy mix some cheese up in there before you bake it. Enjoy friends.

Love,
Leslie
