Bake Off

Somewhere in the dark recesses of his brain, Jason got a hankering to bake bread on Sunday.

He claims he has no idea what got into him, but he went to the kitchen and got started. After about a half an hour's worth of time I hear him screaming and ranting and raving something about flour and the recipe isn't right and on and on, so I go in the kitchen to have a look:

Hmm.

He asked me to check the recipe to see how much flour he should have used.

He just so happened to look past the portion that said "carefully add the remaining flour" that was located toward the bottom of the very first paragraph.

I laughed quite hardThen I thought, hmmm. I can bake bread better than you!

And so it was on.

Jason decided to add more flour to his mass of sticky goo and called it good. This is what he came up with:

A frowning loaf of bread.

But then he decided to go all creative, so while I was in the process of using a different recipe to bake my bread, he made this:

A crooked dough braid. Not bad though, for a novice.

Once my bread was finished, risen, and baked take a look at what a fine specimen I made:

That's right. A happy loaf.

And then I got jealous and decided I should be creative.

So I took some dough and put it in one of my pampered chef scalloped tins...

Yeah. Looks like a boo-nasty bread bullet among other things.

Jason thought his bread braid was the best thing since MarioKart, so he braided my remaining dough. Which, I might say turned out better with MY dough than with his..

 

If you really want to know the truth of the matter...

Jason's bread tasted better.But my bread was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Which, consequently is all that matters to be featured in a magazine.
