Tuna salad sandwich and pork-n-beans here tonight.

I had a great time at my sister's,enjoyed almost all of it.Played lots of cards,went shopping to thrift stores and no I didn't find anything.I caught a 24 hour virus the next to last day and was so sick,vomiting until I was dry heaving (I hate to vomit) but all's well and I'm back home.I've caught up on all the posts since I got back.

I took lots of fig jam and shared with my sister and nieces.The bread I had baked turned out rally well with a good texture and very moist.The banana bread was very moist and good too even if it was a little jagged.

Italiancook the bread I make a lot is King Arthur Classic White Sandwich Bread I made this tonight but I sub one cup of whole wheat for one cup of white and I usually only do 3 cups flour total for each loaf and add more if needed.I made a double batch tonight and it was too dry so I just got some buttermilk out of the fridge and poured about a cup more in the bread to make it where it could mix well and I started with 2 cups of warm water.I guess that's why I needed more liquid probably needed 3 cups to start with a double batch.My bread baked up beautiful and very light and was 4 and a half inches tall baked in a 9x5 pan.This bread with the wheat added in tastes like Natures Own Honey Wheat which is the bread I buy for my husband he doesn't eat homemade bread smh.He is not a bread eater.I don't have a scale so I stir and fill my cup with a scoop method.I've never added the buttermilk to this bread till tonight but I think it'll only make it better.The recipe states to tent the bread after 15-20 minutes but I never do and it doesn't get dark,just right.
