WAKING TO A MORNING AS DARK AS NIGHT

I was up early this morning, but not as early as it seemed. I looked outside and it looked like night. Dark. I looked at the clock, just to make sure I wasn't missing something, but it was 9 in the morning, not 9 at night. Shortly thereafter, it started to pour. I waited until … Continue reading WAKING TO A MORNING AS DARK AS NIGHT

It has been … Continue reading IT’S SPRING TOMORROW: THE CHANGING SEASONS, FEBRUARY 2021

ALL WE DID IS BAKE. BREAD.

We had company. It has been a long time since we had company, but it was the granddaughter and the daughter in law and my son's friend and us. Yes, I know, I know, but we've been so isolated for so long, I needed the companionship badly. Really really badly. We had lamb for dinner … Continue reading ALL WE DID IS BAKE. BREAD.

THE THIEF

Yesterday, I made pasta and sauce. Owen had baked fresh bread the day before. There was one piece left and Garry came out of the kitchen clutching the bread while announcing, "I got the last piece of bread!" About 10 seconds later, Duke snagged the bread right out of his hand and ran away with … Continue reading THE THIEF

ORDERLY – MARILYN ARMSTRONG

After my reasonably successful pretzels, I decided to start baking more. I promise not to get totally crazy, but a few incredible loaves of whole wheat bread might go a long way to fixing what ails me. There's something wonderfully soothing about kneading bread.
