Okay, if you don't know who Paul McKenna is, he has a website here:
http://www.mckenna.com/
No, I am NOT spamming for his site. It's just in case you have no idea who the guy is. He does this freaky deaky weight loss thing I'm trying, that deals with not with dieting but retraining the mind so you don't overeat. (Hey, I've lost five lbs so far)
So, here's the story. I have this bread machine recipe that's really great, but if you miss any part of the process it flops. But if you get it right, it makes bread that, would make Wonder Bread jealous. In fact my family (I brought it to my mother's Sunday, called it "My Wonder bread.)
So! You start by adding 1 Cup warm water, two tablespoons sugar and a package of yeast to your bread pan.
Then you let that mixture sit for 10 minutes (no more no less or the crust is AWFUL and the bread falls), and add olive oil (1/4 cup), salt (1 teaspoon) and Three Cups of flour and set the machine for Basic and let it go!
But right in the middle of my waiting 10 minutes for the yeast, Paul McKenna's office called! Can you believe it????????? :eek: All the way from Freaking England! :eek:
They read my question on the website, and Paul McKenna wanted to schedule to talk to me PERSONALLY for the March podcast! I'm so excited.
So, I talk to the lady, we schedule a time and I hang up. Hurry up and add the other ingredients, and then right after that the Geek Squad of Best Buy calls me regarding fixing my dishwasher.
So, I exicitedly tell my husband, that Paul McKenna is going to call me, my husband asks when, and that's when I give him a blank stare.
Between juggling getting my bread started (which flopped, I must have added the flour too soon or too late. Darnit! I blame Paul) and the Geek Squad, I forgot to write down when Paul McKenna was going to call and I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DAY!!!! :doh:
I'm an idiot! All I can remember is a Thursday, at 2:00 p.m. EST. I can't remember if it's this Thurday or next Thurdsay. I feel like such a moron. If I miss this, I'm going to kick myself all month!
This kind of stupid, hairbrained airhead stuff only happens to me! I'm just going to start kicking myself right now! :doh:
