I didn't have 4 bread pans so I split into two. As such, the bread didn't rise quite as much so it was more dense. Still very delicious though! If I were to remake I would put into four pans instead.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
5 1/2 cups warm water<br />
3 packages rapid rise yeast<br />
2 tablespoons salt<br />
3 tablespoons sugar<br />
11 cups bread flour<br />
<br />
Mix ingredients all together, only enough to combine, then spoon into 4 well greased loaf pans. Let rise until dough reaches the top of the pans. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. 10 minutes before done, brush top with melted butter. Allow to cool completely before cutting. Recipe makes four loaves.<br />

Apparently I have been hoarding funnel cake mix and spices & seasonings. The funnel cake mix is because I professed my love for funnel cakes to family once a long time ago, so they make sure to keep me stocked. The spices are because I have loved cooking more and more. I saw <a href="http://diydiva.net/2011/09/diy-spice-jar-labels/" target="_blank">this idea</a> for spice jars and labels that I found on pinterest, initially posted by blogger <a href="http://diydiva.net/" target="_blank">DIY Diva</a>. I thought I would take on this project, and it turned out to be pretty easy once I got the supplies. </span><br />

What this meant was a reduced APR on the car loan by one percent, reduced credit card APR rate at 0% for a year (which will save me interest while I pay everything off these next few months), and an easier online website and phone app to navigate. Yay!<br />
<br />
On another related note, I was able to meet my goal of reaching $10,000+ in my 401k account!<br />
<br />
Next goal...$1500 in savings.

Why do I tend to overplan when it comes to list-making and goal-setting without taking into consideration how much time it actually takes?</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">...Great examples that immediately come to mind would be the family recipe book that took a little over two years to actually finish, the family crest for Sean's birthday that I gave to him two years late (and still want to make changes to), the many books I've started and never finished, and multiple other projects that are still stuck in some sort of limbo. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">
Would it be better to plan nothing at all? </span><span class="Apple-style-span">
In one of the other</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://zenhabits.net/no-goal/" target="_blank">posts</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">by the same author, she wrote about eliminating goals because that doesn't stop us from achieving things and only serves to limit what we can do. I don't really agree with this logic. I think that the more I push myself to achieve goals, the more I keep track of what I'm doing, and the more I end up accomplishing in the end.</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Without planning, I tend to accomplish little to nothing and go day to day watching too much tv, sleeping too much, and having little motivation to accomplish anything. I am a listmaker and I love crossing off things. What I’ve learned is it’s best to understand I likely won’t accomplish everything, but I can at least try...and know not to get down on myself about it. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Somehow, (probably because I've grown accustomed to it) I don't get discouraged when I don't achieve everything I set out to do in the timeframe that I give myself, because sometimes the important things just deserve a little extra time and finesse. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">For certain tasks (like artwork for family), I realize that the reason I've put off completing is because I want it to be perfect and to have enough time to dedicate to making it just that. In the real world, large chunks of time like that don't come around very often.</span><span class="Apple-style-span">
That said, I like the quote that Leo </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Babauta</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> opened with:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 30px;">"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 30px;"><strong>~Lao Tzu </strong></span></span></blockquote>
I like having the ability to go about my day as I choose, the flexibility to accomplish a lot on some days and little on others, leaving room for new experiences and opportunities that I may not have otherwise dreamed of. I think there is a balance between planning and just enjoying.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was one of my goals this year to make my first pie from scratch A) because I love pie and B) because there is a stigma that comes with making a pie, which is to say that it's easy to mess up. Common pie blunders include a dry or burnt crust, overly wet filling, doughy bottom, etc. I felt ready to take on the challenge. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To start, I found the perfect </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/05/strawberry-rhubarb-pie/" target="_blank">recipe</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> on one of my go-to cooking websites, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/" target="_blank">Smitten Kitchen</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. This recipe was adapted from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/LATTICE-TOPPED-STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB-PIE-4459" target="_blank">Bon Appetit, April 1997.</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I did some adapting myself and found myself in the middle with how long I baked the pie. I used a glass baking dish, so that may account for the difference on why I needed to cook a little longer than the Smitten Kitchen recipe.</span><br />
