The weekend is due in just a few hours. No work commitments, no family obligations -- I shall enjoy it. I don't get to blog much during the week, or read or do anything except work and sleep.
Sweetie groaned when I picked up a book at the bargain store tonight.
"Another cookbook?"
But this book was special. It was a big, fat, glorious, full-color book all about bread -- bread from Britain, bread from India, even bread from Australia. A history of bread. Bread recipes.
I like making bread. I'm pretty good at it. And I intend to use this one.
I followed a quick German cornbread recipe tonight,from my old book. It was a little dry. I added nearly a cup more milk than it called for and the dough was still dry. Well, Germany isn't known as the land of cornbread anyway, so perhaps I expected too much.
Sweetie says it will be just fine with a little raspberry jelly for garnish.

I love bread, mmmmmmm...
My husband makes the most delicious beer bacon & onion bread, I can have a loaf of just that for dinner.
Happy baking!

I love freshly baked bread. Mmmmmm.
Please post pictures for those of us with vivid imaginations.
I know some people that slice a bread and put the slices in a dark place, to dry. Then they have kind of a crunchy toast.
Maybe the german bread you're talking about was used to made for such a crunchy treat?
oh wonderful.... I am SOOOO wanting a cookbook now, it is called "My Egyptian Grandma's kitchen" and is gorgeous middle eastern food !
Warm bread is as healing and nourishing to the heart and soul as it is to the body.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
PS - there are photos of a sculpted lady at my place that I think you may enjoy.
