When I was trying to think of what to make for dinner for Mike and I the night before we left for a recent vacation, I noticed a jar of spicy cashew and cream sauce in the pantry that sounded pretty tasty (which it was, especially with chicken and a few veggies added in).  To go along with it, I gave Mike a choice between rice and homemade bread.  He’s so sweet, at first he said whatever is easier… 

Then he got a pensive, far-off look and asked if I minded making bread.  I laughed, thinking that I’d much rather be making bread than cleaning/packing/doing laundry like I should be doing to get ready…so bread it was!…
