The name Wilson Piglet comes from my Boston Terrier, Wilson. A friend of mine added the "Piglet" part for fun because Wilson snorts like a pig. The whimsical name appealed to me. We have plans to write children's books about Wilson Piglet. Maybe someday....

Homemade Bread


Last night I did something I've never done before......I made bread from scratch! (This is the part where you reach down and pick your jaw up off the floor.) I always assumed baking your own bread was ridiculously hard and time consuming, so I never attempted it. However, I came across a fairly simple recipe while looking for something else and decided I'd try it. I had fun kneading the dough, but my arms got tired! It sure made our house smell good too. The recipe made two loaves. The first one came out of the oven and looked beautiful! I was so proud of myself! (obviously, since I took a picture of the bread!) However, I did not let the second loaf rise properly and it came out looking a little funny. I put it in the freezer for later. The first loaf tasted really good. Homemade bread is way better than store-bought bread! Yummy!
