Apparently

 snow falls in Ontario. Yes, we are white. A layer of snow is now warming the gorund b/c the air temperature is 28 F plus a wind chill b/c you can hear the wind

How do you spell ' FIASCO ' - well fiasco
NO

NO   bread. I'v been saying ' bake bread ' and yesterday, was it. On YouTube, I watched ' never buy bread again - make it ! ' E Z PZ recipe. One bowl and 45 minutes.
Right. Everything gets measured - OK
Then. Add hot water, oil to the dry. Mix well.
A ball of dough forms. Ah, but was the water too hot < kills yeast cells >. 
Time for the rising of the dough. 20 minutes. Nope, nada. Read some articles. Rising can take 2 hrs. Yes, hours. So, wait. Wait. Wait.
Oh - did the dough get bigger ? Huh ? Maybe.
Knead again and let rise. The riginal recipe calls for 10 - 20 minutes. It takes at least 40.
Good. Pop in oven for 20 minutes. Of course, it doesn't work. Thus, another 45 minutes later - a ' creature ' resembling bread emerges.

The loaf was smalish but tasty.

Egad. 4 1/2 hrs all in. They built Giza in less time

Chalk it up to - life......... experience and CHEAP
Cheap ? An article that I read emphasized. Try bread. Make mistakes and keep going. Its only flour. You have a bag. Thank you - Mister ????? but thank you
