Yeast is Yeast, and My Bread Killed It

I have just made the most spectacularly bad bread I have made in decades.

It's oatmeal bread. I have never before made oatmeal bread, and I decided to do it this afternoon in the wake of recovering from a remarkably bad migraine.

I knew as soon as I started kneading it that it wasn't going to rise.

When I got them out of the oven, I laughed so hard I cried. So did Bob. It did wonders for our mood.  And the bread doesn't taste bad.

But man, it's spectacularly bad.
