Best Ever Bread Machine Loaf

I might be one of the last people on earth to use that 1990s sensation, THE BREAD MACHINE, but I hope not! Because this is my favorite recipe for bread baked in my bread machine. It's a white bread that's a slight take on a brioche-style and I know exactly what's gone in to it. No HFCS here! The bread includes both egg and milk which makes the finished a hearty treat with a crispy crust.

Hovercraft at the Harbor

This past weekend we went to Oceanside Harbor Days where the Marines lined up the beach with some pretty crazy vehicles and let the public climb all over them. My favorite was this hovercraft. It's a massive cargo carrier that puffs up and floats right across the water. We often see them off shore while the Navy and Marines are doing training maneuvers so it was really fun to see it up close. We were lucky enough to get to see it head back to Camp Pendleton, too. Check out the video I took of it leaving the beach, I got pelted with sand but it was totally worth it! 

30 Minute Scarf Pattern

I hopped in to Yarning for You and saw this adorable scarf my friend Deb wipped up. It seriously takes 30 minutes to make from start to finish! Plan 10 minutes to knit the scarf, 10 minutes to cut the fringe and 10 minutes to add the fringe to the knitted scarf. It came out great! You can find the pattern here. Get it!

New iPhone Panorama

I'm totally in love with the new panorama setting on my iPhone. iOS6 has been good to me! Here's two images of a nice night Thomas and I spent with my parents at the Oceanside Pier here in lovely Oceanside, California. These photos are unedited and straight out of my pocket. Amazing!
