I am in love.
I am in love with this bread. This recipe deserves absolutely every ounce of the hype. If I were to give someone one piece of advice in life: make this bread. Cooper and I made this loaf of wonderous wonder over the weekend and when it came out of the oven at 1am, we devoured a third of it within minutes. It is amazing. Words do not describe how delicious it is. I am utterly in love.

A random thought: have you ever accidentally (or intentionally) worn two different socks that are of varying thickness? I LOVE IT!! They have to be extremely different types of socks to feel the pleasure. One foot with a thin sock will feel like an entirely different world than the foot with the thick sock. It will change your life (in addition to the above mentioned bread recipe).

Tonight I am going to turn orange. I am going to try one of the spray tan machines with a friend in prep for the Hawaii wedding (2 days until we take off!!). Hopefully it is semi-natural looking…I suppose anything is better than my natural bright white. Cross your fingers for me.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
