Indeed .

Good to see, and be reminded what's really important in life. Thanks for the photo.

Good pic. Reminds me of how much I miss bread.... In the days when I was making my own bread I quite often had a small fresh baked loaf with butter and jam for tea. Nothing else, just a loaf.
Those days have gone unfortunately......
Nice to see you baking again Ian.

Knocking up a Sunflower seeded Bloomer. Guestimated the amounts somewhat but the dough feels right and is on it's first rise.

I can almost smell it baking.......

I formed it as a bog standard bloomer with a couple of slashes in the top to open up the crust. I flipped it over in the oven for the last 5 minutes to crisp up the bottom, turned out OK. Will test it properly with soup for lunch.

Oh Stanley, freshly baked loaf with jam and butter

That's what comes to my mind Gloria every time Ian teases us. I have seen me bake a small loaf and then sit down with half a pound of best butter and some home-made strawberry jam and eat the lot....
Those day have gone!
