Emergency food - honey wheat pecan bread

I'd like to take a break from all the Texas posts to focus on my storm prep food, which turned out fabulously! In my second attempt to bake a loaf of bread I used a tad bit more common sense than in the first, and it turned out in my favor.

What you see here is a loaf of whole wheat honey pecan bread! Made right in my kitchen, as I was sleeping. In fact, I am fairly certain that I got up and unplugged the machine (there is physical evidence of this) without really waking up. At least if I'm going to sleep for too many hours of the day, I know I might be taking care of chores while doing so!

My first loaf of bread, if one can call it a loaf, came out horribly. It was a hefty dense lump of cranberry flavored material with somewhere around a cup of flour stuck to the bottom of it. I have to say that I'm quite proud of the second go! It's very tasty, as well. I had a couple of slices for breakfast. It really is very hearty and filling. I put the rest of the slices in the freezer. I can't wait to make some serious sandwiches with this stuff!

It's a good thing I made survival food (which also consists of pasta salad) because it did snow like you wouldn't believe. Very fortunately, my power is ON! But I'll be enjoying the bread nonetheless :) I also picked up some new Spanish wine (another Rioja), so I will hopefully be enjoying that too with my next food adventure, which should be happening right about now.

Chao!
