As I said last night, homemade beef jerky and crusty Italian bread were on the menu to be made today.

Unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men always run awry.

I had a migraine for the majority of today, and the meat that I pulled out for the jerky was pretty thick, and was thawing slowly. Therefore, the most I could do jerky-wise was getting the meat cut and into the marinade.

Then, it was onto the crusty bread. Simple to make, and absolutely delicious. I happened to overwork the dough a little bit, so the loaf came out more dense than I would've preferred-- which you can see in the last photo-- but it is still tasty.

Trust me-- I'm eating it typing this post.
