On Day 5, I rest!

...Not entirely true. I'm taking a break from daily painting because I need to catch up on housework (to a degree, of course. In my experience, housework is a black hole that will gobble up all the time and energy you let it). However, let's keep the Italian theme alive! If you follow me on Facebook, you may know that recently, I developed a new hobby: making wonderfully delicious bread. So, my current batch is Italian semolina bread that looks like this:

Go ahead, drool...Beg me to invite you over for a cup of tea. It makes awesome toast, too! :) And because I can't leave you without some art, here is a sketch of another loaf I made recently:

That one was a "peasant loaf" out of my new favorite book, "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day." Interested in making your own bread that is easy, fast, and tasty? Check it out on Amazon:
