I decided that baking would be therapeutic on Saturday. I made a loaf of Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina bread (Len's recipe), using my older bread machine to do the mixing and kneading but letting it rise in a dough bucket and in the pan before baking it in the oven. I plan to send the recipe to my younger bonus son and his wife to try in their bread machine. I was also confirming that the recipe would be a good one to take with us when we travel and I take along the bread machine to use where we are staying.
My second bake on Saturday was Baked Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts with Maple Glaze. I thawed a cup of pumpkin overnight so that I could bake these. Today's cartoon in Pearls Before Swine suggested that it was meant to be:

I could have just sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar, but it has been a hard week, so maple glaze it was. I limited myself to one for dessert tonight. My husband had two, but he did spend much of the day raking leaves.
