- Regularly making my own whole wheat bread. Although, I could sure use some suggestions on a good recipe that works well in Utah. The one I'm using is only so-so, and I haven't figured out how to modify it for our climate and altitude.
- Keeping my vegetable tidbits in a gallon-size bag in the freezer, and then using it to make vegetable broth. In the most recent time I even had Eric add the boiled vegetable bits to the compost after the broth was made.
- I washed my pillows. They took ages and ages and ages to dry. But they sure smell nice now.
- On occasion I manage to put away my boys' laundry on the same day it gets washed. (Okay, that's pretty much a lie. I don't think that that's happened since January. We regularly have conversations like this: "Where are Felix's burp cloths?" "In his drawer." "There are none there." "Oh, check the dryer." Sometimes these conversations are repeated for about three days.
- Sweeping. Always sweeping.
- I made a giant container of "refried" beans to use instead of the canned kind we usually use for burritos (one of our go-to meals). We have several freezer bags of beans at the ready.

Domesticity
Here are some very domestic things I've been doing lately.

Tell me more specifically what you'd like to improve with your bread, and I may or may not have ideas. :)
you are more domestic than what you posted. you are a wife. you cook, clean, and chase after two little boys. :)
I consider it an accomplishment when I remember to put the laundry in the dryer. I don't know how many loads I've had to rewash because they got forgotten about and started mildewing in the washer. So ...no domesticity awards over here. But every time I do laundry, I still tell myself TODAY will be the day I put the laundry away the same day I wash it!
Vegetable broth is the way to go. After realizing I didn't have to deal with lots of chicken meat and parts when I made it veggie, and that it tasted just as good (better?), there's been no going back. I keep containers of it in the freezer, and one in the fridge.
I however do not support the use of tomatoes in vegetable broth. I sometimes buy a boxed broth as backup that had tomato...it just doesn't fit!
Congrats on your domesticity!
