I went to a sweatlodge on sunday night, which was an awesome and intense experience. It was ... frightening. Completely terrifying and uplifting and amazing.
I feel much calmer and at peace now. I am cruisy and a lot of my wild energy has been burnt/released. I feel release. My shoulders feel completely weird, because I'm not hunched up and tense all the time like I usually am.
If any one has a need in their lives for something like this, or some spiritual guidance or even just someone to chat to, then check out Tamara and Pete's site Sacred Balance.
So, bcause I am happy and calm, I thought I would give bread a go. I suck at making bread, but just the other day![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaosmanor posted a recipe that I thought I would give a go. I heard once that your feeling transmit to the bread as you try and kneads it, which is probably my big problem with bread. I'm usually pretty tense and unsure, and so that's going into the bread which is coming out sucky. :-) But Elaine's recipe worked! And my kneading worked! The grain is evenly sized and beautiful, there's no whorls or whirls from the kneading, it's the right moisture and cuts beautifully! I am in awe!!
:-)
Plus I am road testing a muffin recipe. I made chocolate chip chocolate muffins. I discovered that white chocolate bits caramelize or toffee-up when they melt onto the metal tins and cook further. These muffins have white chocolate, chocolate, and couveture chocolate in them. I needed three cups of choc chips, and I had it lying around. I am thinking of renaming these muffins "Pantry Velcro Muffins". If Alton gets away with calling quiche Refridgerator Velcro (because they are a fantastic use for leftovers) then I think Pantry Velcro suits these muffins to a T!
I think Vinnie is waking up now, so outta here!
