day 60: the good, the bad, and the ugly
The Good: I came home at lunch yesterday to let Bagigis out for a walk. I was so excited to see what the mailman brought for me:
I flipped open the book to look at the bread recipes that are in it and saw “Power Bread”.
Naturally, this had to be the first bread I would bake. The process takes about 3 days, so I’ll all just have to wait and see how it turns out!
The Bad: When I got home from my walk the door was locked. My house keys were inside. My car keys were inside. I was stranded outside in the cold and I couldn’t get back to work! I went to my neighbour to ask if I could borrow her phone and call one of the few people who have a spare set of keys. Unfortunately my husband was at work, my roommate was at school, and my mother-in-law doesn’t answer the phone. (Insert long string of profanities here.) To make matters worse, I had drank a lot of tea that morning and, at this point, my bladder was ready to burst.
The Ugly: Thankfully, I was able to get into my garage where it was somewhat warmer. I found my salvation in the privacy of the garage and the convenience of a watering can. I’ve heard that fresh urine make a good fertilizer because it’s high in nitrogen. How about we all just pretend that I’m testing that theory on my bushes.
Lesson learned: Don’t forget your keys in the house.

Haha, so funny about the watering can! I remember being forced to pee into a little travel toilet when I was really little on long car trips. Glad you got some privacy, at least!!
Oh my gosh! I wanted that book so badly. Can you write a review of it when you’re done?
I can’t wait to see how the bread turns out!
That book looks awesome — you’re going to have so much fun (and deliciousness) trying out new recipes.
too funny! what a day though. glad you got a nifty book to make it all a little more worthwhile.
Haha, I’ve been known to leave my house keyes at home way too often and now I’ve learned my lesson. It got a bit expensive to pay the maintenance guy 10-20€ every time he had to open the door for me
your story was so funny!
You should have came to my house! I would have let you in or rocoo could have. The bread sounds like a good one.
Ooh I can’t wait to hear about the bread! I’m not much of a baker, but I would like to become a better one
I’ve locked my keys in the house once and I broke the window on the back door to get in. Thankfully no one noticed and copied my procedure since
Ah, Peter Reinhart!! We have a couple of his books, but not that one – I can’t wait to see what you think of it, and what you make out of it!
Bummer about your keys
Did you ever get back to work? You’re right, traditional fertilizer is high in nitrogen
