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, but it makes the front of me look like, well the entire Rocky Mountain Range! lol! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love bread, mmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeletePlease 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.
ReplyDeleteMaybe 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 !
ReplyDeleteWarm bread is as healing and nourishing to the heart and soul as it is to the body.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend.
PS - there are photos of a sculpted lady at my place that I think you may enjoy.
