I'm pretty sure that was all I was going to make but a few things may come back to me. I'm going to make the kalamata bread tonight, and make 2 loaves to try one out tonight. If it's really terrible, then, well, I'll cope. But, the comments for the recipe say it's pretty tasty, just not 'pretty' - whatever that means.
I went rollerblading for awhile after work ...
