jelly (limegreenjelly)
Well hubby came home from work and got it going, it seemed to have jammed in gear even though it said it was in neutral, so I’ve taken it up for its service! Then he couldn’t get the car roof to go down, it’s getting stuck, but it’s due to go in for its MOT and service in a couple of weeks!
Just trying to have a chilled afternoon after a busy morning!!

Today's newt is sitting in the airing cupboard.
Early on in Not Lent I bought a couple of books, one of which, 'Midnight Chicken', is a collection of recipes with attached stories. Sort of.
Today I have made 'Wicked Stepmother Black Bread'. The author is at pains to tell us that her stepmother wasn't the least bit wicked but she did make fabulous black bread. I love dark, treacley rye bread so am hoping this works out. Always touch and go with a new bread recipe.
It has grated carrot, rye flour, strong white, treacle, butter and cider vinegar amongst the ingredients - plus fennel and caraway seeds.
Cross your fingers!

Bread sounds amazing
Just had strawberry rice crispies for the first time. They are not nice.

Mmm, they sound a bit - artificial? tasting.
Remains to be seen re the bread. Good work out kneading it!

They are quite big Newts, GG. That's why I've been prevaricating about them (for about 2 years!) But my house looks a mess and it stresses me out and really it shouldn't be THAT hard to find someone to slap some paint on it!

So far so good with the bread. Now proved twice and it's in the oven. It satisfactorily increased to twice the volume before the first proving - smells like a brewery! Very yeasty.
It's ages since i made bread - I taught Raffo and he's now the Master Baker.
