I like Him too.  He's a very sarccy Englishman at heart and loves a good pun.  All the time. haha     i am waiting for the oven to heat up… So i can bake bread. Today is the coolest day this week, so… Time to do it. They will sit in the freezer until needed. Plus that increases the resistant starch in the bread which is better for diabetics.  

Excellent bread.  That's all I can say.

Recipe is from John Kirkwood on YouTube.  He was a professional 'cook' and the bread I make is his recipe. I make two, I use regular all purpose whole wheat flour and blend it with some Canadian white bread flour. About 400g of the white and 800g of whole wheat. I add some salt about two teaspoons, 4 teaspoons of yeast and about 3.5 cups of warm water and 4 tablespoons of oil. It mix it in the Kitchen aid with the dough hook. It makes two 2.5 pound loaves.

He's the best and I love his voice. He sounds like Winnie the Pooh. His recipes are easy to follow and he's a really good teacher. Absolutely check out his channel and subscribe. He's a gem.

It's Nunavut Day ... 

 

And another of our Canadian only chocolate bars, the Jersey Milk will not be made any longer.   I still miss the PeP. I loved those. 

I know… There are other dairy milk choc bars and other peppermint patties... but it was a giant peppermint patty and was so nice.  I know… tim don't live in the past... give up pining for old things that are gone, and you are not supposed to eat chocolate anyway.  Okay, there is that.

Yep, he makes some excellent stuff. I bought his bread cookbook last year. My fav hot cross buns are from a lady from New Zealand ... which reminds me! There are still six in the freezer. Not for long. haha 

Have a great day, spyke!

Had never heard of this animal until this morning when I had the misfortune (hee hee) to read a short story from the twisted mind of @wildone which will cause me nightmares.  They look kind of cool and superior. Pets for the leader of the free world, perhaps?  Sorry, in a naughty mood.

Really? Huh, these creatures are so popular over here for sure. They are rather cool animals.. all other animals seem to like them and accept them. There are some interesting vids on YouTube if you feel like looking...these guys are peaceful, chilled out rodents. 

My Husband is willing to dig up the backyard to make them a happy home. He loves them.  lol

Have a good one Gary. 

Wildone writes scary stuff.. huh.

the first time I read about capybara’s, I thought they were some made up fantastical being. Then I saw a picture of them…

They are wild critters. Like the Zen masters of the animal world. They chill out with predators, turtles, and birds. Just hanging out. Usually with their eyes closed in the sun. It's wild. Oh. Like this.

Currently preparing for a family vacation in the Olympic Peninsula. I've always wanted to visit Washington state, and I'm finally gonna make that dream a reality.

Two weeks holiday in Greece, starting Monday!  Hopefully, with some decent wi-fi, I'll try to read the Secret Author competition stories and, eventually, leave some illiterate comments with many typos...😜
