It is really good to bake bread when you are feeling lonely, sad depressed, angry, etc. You can get out your emotions as you "punch down" the dough. It helps me relieve all sorts of emotions and the results are yummy. Here is one really simple, basic recipe. There are tons more if you search on-line.
Sweet White Bread
2 cups very warm water (110 degrees F)
2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
2. Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Easy Chicken Recipes
These are some easy to use chicken recipes that anyone can prepare. The recipes have very few ingredients and requires little skill to make. I am a single guy that had no idea how to prepare anything. The recipes on this page are ones that I have prepared and find tasty even though I have little or no skills in the area of cooking.

1 to 2 lbs of chicken thighs
1 bottle of Pace Picante Sauce (Hot -- if you like it that way)

Flour tortillas
Place the chicken and the picante sauce in a crock pot and cook all day on low. Remove bones from thighs, shred the chicken, mix a little bit of fresh picante sauce. Place chicken, cheese, and lettuce in a warmed flour tortilla, roll it up and eat!
