Just Peachy Photography

So, a good friend of mine, Erika Williams, has a blogspot as well to promote her photography business. I've added a section to the right, which includes favorite blogs of mine. I'll add more when I come across more. I've added Erika's; please check it out. She does a great job, and my family is even on there! She's done some really nice photos of my girls, our dog, and my pregnant belly.

If anyone else has a blog they want me to add, just let me know. I'm always up for helping promote friends' businesses/blogs/whatever! :)

So, I don't have any official pictures of my bread. I just take them with my camera when I remember to...which is not often...this is my only picture so far! This is my honey wheat bread. It is made with cottage cheese; I know, sounds odd. BUT, it actually keeps the bread moist. The wheat flour tends to produce a drier bread, but the cottage cheese keeps it nice and moist. I read that you're supposed to let bread cool completely before slicing it, so the flavors are the strongest. I have such a hard time waiting! Warm honey wheat bread is just so good. Not to toot my own horn or anything!

This would be defined as a batch of honey wheat - 2 loaves, same kind. My recipe makes 2 loaves. $9 per batch. Or $5 a loaf.

I will continue to add photos as I remember to take them after baking and wrapping.My business card, shown above, will be updated in the next few months to include a different web address...this one. :)

While My Computer Uninstalls A Program...

So, I'm waiting on my computer to uninstall Norton 360. Comcast failed to let me know that I can get McAfee for free just by having Comcast internet service. I've been jumping from anti-virus program to anti-virus program, using up all the free trial periods I can. It is RIDICULOUS how much it'll cost to keep my computer safe. And, even with all the anti-viral stuff, there's no guarantee. Ugh. What a pain. But, I'm glad there's something free for us.

I haggled with Comcast earlier today to get the new customer discount of $29.99/month for the even faster internet service. The $45.95/month we pay is ridiculous. That's JUST for internet service. We have $11/month basic cable, but the nearly $50 a month we spend on internet service is crazy. ESPECIALLY because the server or connection or whatever is constantly resetting and the internet is down about 3 times almost every day. It's bad. We do not have any other providers available to us yet in this area, unfortunately. Oh well. I'm happy with the discount for the next 6 months.

I'm really considering turning this blog into my way of advertising and marketing my bread 'business.' I have a GeoCities account, but Yahoo is closing down soon.....sadly. I was told to create a blogspot to market the bread business. I hadn't even thought about it, but it was a very good idea. In fact, as I type this I'm thinking that may be the perfect idea. Free. One less thing to log into and check. I think I'll do it. Now, I just have to get the word out about this blog. Yikes. I've been lazy with that. Afraid of criticism, I suppose. :) BUT, selling bread goes along with my saving money theme....right?

Yay! McAfee installed. Norton uninstalled. And with little hassle. phew. Glad that's done. I hate doing the little stuff....but I suppose it is worth it when I don't get hacked into. Not that there's much to get out of us by doing so. :) Need to keep reminding myself it's free. Ha.
