I can mess it up!

Grandma,

Do not worry because if anything can be messed up, I can do it! My second batch of no-knead bread was a total flop! My yeast would not do a thing. I even tried adding more yeast the next day and after no rising dough, I just decided to cook the thing and be done with it. Well, I cooked it about 3 times longer than you are supposed to and it was still so flat and so dense that it was still doughy in the middle! I am going to test my yeast before I make another batch!

By the way, I just grew my first batch of mold along with the wheatgrass I was growing! After cutting the wheatgrass, I rinsed it, then sprayed it with our favorite sanitizing combo - hydrogen peroxide and vinegar (we need to post the article on that fabulous little find of ours). Then I put it in the refrigerator. When I used some the next day I rinsed it again and sanitized it again and then 'salad spinnered' it to death before juicing. Its a good thing I'm making all these mistakes now - I guess that's how I must learn...

Good night!
