Good bread’s always worth a moment of silent contemplation – before tucking in. Bon appetit!

BRILLIANT ! 😀
It doth indeed look good; and how clever you are, my friend ! 🙂 I’ve had to give up bread-making in search of a vastly smaller (like it ?) number of calories; but I can still recognize a yummy loaf when I see one.

One you made yourself? I have stopped baking bread as eating it isn’t good for us, but I must admit there is nothing like a thick slice of warm bread with butter and cheese.

Yep; I don’t bake very often anymore because too much of it disagrees with us too. But I do really love the process, and my neighbours are always happy to receive a “spare” loaf.

❤ Both you and the loaf look good, Su. Sometimes when I had a loaf of really good bread I can barely wait until a slice is cut to have a bite, even before putting something on it or whatever else I was planning to do with it.

Good homemade bread has become a rarity in the western world.

True: most of us are really time-poor. I am heartened by the number of small barkers who are setting up shop in local communities selling excellent bread. It shows there is a demand for quality.

Looking good! Both bread and you. I make most of our bread, but with a bread maker, so the lazy way. It’s always so much better than shop bought though.

Thank you Anabel. I totally agree about home-made over bought!
I had a bread maker years ago, but was never happy with the results. I’ve now found a no-knead sourdough recipe that seems reasonably bullet-proof. Time-consuming, but I can generally find other kitchen things to do in the down-time.

We’ve had several over the years, but the best by far (and reflected in the price!) is our current Panasonic one.

My son is on Weight Watchers and bread is a big no for him. So, in the name of not sticking a wrench in his diet, I am not baking. But I miss the bread — and especially, the popovers. Oh that scent of freshly baked bread!

And I hardly eat any bread (can’t unless it is made with almond and coconut flour) but I would love a piece of that crusty bread!
Oh and I love your hair (as usual)

Hi Jude. Lovely to hear from you. I’m doing ok. The cancer is progressing and I’ll need more chemo soon, but the good days are still pretty good, my garden is flourishing despite my neglect, and we’ve been doing a bit of local travel.
Hope you’re well xx

Oh, Su, I am so sorry to hear that the damn C is still with you. I always think of you as my sister down under – you and I have October birthdays I think? If you feel like contacting me on my blog (via the contact page) I can get your email address and message you a bit more privately. I miss your wonderful photos, but can see that blogging is not a priority right now. Hope the rest of your family are keeping well and that you can carry on enjoying those good days. Jude xx

Hi Anabel. Lovely to get your message. We survived the floods unscathed — though the boy-child’s workplace suffered some damage. I’ve just started another round of chemo and am feeling a bit meh; so the update post I’ve been meaning to write for ages will have to wait a bit longer. Hope all is well with you

Hi Lois. So lovely to hear from you.
The chemo wasn’t doing much except making me really sick, so I pulled the plug on it in favour of being well enough to actually enjoy the time I have. I’ve had a pretty good few months, but am now beginning to experience more persistent pain. Back to the oncologist soon to discuss what to do next.
Not much photography happening, although that may have more to do with the abysmal weather we have had this year than anything else.
Hope that you are well. xx
