A Whip and A Loaf of Bread

What do the two things in my post's title have in common?

They were both Father's Day gifts that my husband received this year.

The whip...well, it was what Nate picked out. He saw that Indiana Jones whip that made a cracking sound and played the Indy theme song, and he just had to have it. When Mom told him that it was not to be his, he got creative and decided to give it to Dad for Father's Day. That way they could share it.

The Loaf of Bread...Adam has been begging me to make him homemade bread. Shockingly (especially to those of you that know my family owned a bakery when I was in high school), I never have made bread for him. The closest I've come is Pilsbury Crescent Rolls. This all seems so silly as I write it down, because really, bread isn't that difficult. I've just always had some excuse...my kitchen is too small, I have no bread pans, yadda, yadda. But Adam had thought of it as such a big deal that I decided I needed (kneaded? haha) to save it for a special occasion. Since I didn't have any other ideas, I made it for Father's Day! He was over the moon about it, and although it was an ugly loaf, it tasted really good! I'll post a picture, but I do so reluctantly. It is seriously an ugly loaf.

At least Nate was thinking outside the box! :) He sure knows how to get what he wants. :) Can't wait for the whip pictures, LOL!
