Yesterday I got a lovely, huge stack of books. I was starting to feel slightly panicked at the thought of my dwindling book supply, but managed to get to the library that Monday afternoon. I got a fantastic stack and, if they are worth it, I'll review some of them in the upcoming weeks.
On the way home, I suddenly got a hankering for doing a little baking. So, I pulled out some cookbooks and eventually settled on
Good the Grain's (a fabulous cookbook, by the way) rye soft pretzels. They looked so delicious and I could just imagine curling up in the evening with a hot soft pretzel and a little pile of books around me.

The kitchen table, dirty from rolling out pretzels,
that somehow managed to look pretty in the afternoon sunlight. |
I think that these were some of the best soft pretzels that I have ever sunk my teeth into. They were just a little tangy on the outside, from the baking soda bath, perfectly crusty on the outside, and doughy on the inside, with flecks of sea salt on top.

| The pretzels. Just ready to eat. |
And so, that evening, I took a still-warm pretzel, gathered up a small handful of books, and retired to the sofa.
Mmmmmm Looks good
