KJM - I asked this question where you posted the bread recipe in the recipe section but am asking again here because I don't know which one you will see first. I am getting ready to make your Hawaiian bread and wondered if it needs to rise 2 times or just one. I will be using my mixer instead of a bread machine.
When we first moved into the house we are in now it was 961 sq ft! The older boys were 2, 4, and 6 years old...and I was pg with DS that is now 6 years old on bedrest when we started to remodel it. We tore the one bathroom off the house pushed it out into the garage another 4' and added a second bathroom onto our bedroom in behind the first one. In the middle of April!! So, no garage door just a tarp...no bathroom door into the house for a week or so with snow on the ground!! Then in October of that year we hired a contractor and added on over a 1000 sq ft so we are just over 2000sq ft now! And some days it seems VERY small!! What really makes it seems small is the fact that we have no basement, attic, or storage space. If we had some place to store stuff and hide it it would not be so bad! I would love to have a regular playroom where we could hide all of the kids toys and shut the door when people come over then their rooms could stay clean!
