The pain de mie bread came out pretty good. I could have let it rise a wee bit more to fill out 1/4 inch on each side top but it's fine. Haven't cut into it yet but it should be cool enough soon.
Our county fair in August has been cancelled for this yr. Boo hoo! I hope the yearly Sheep and Wool Fest happens in October. The yearly things that we all look forward to are understandably whacked for 2020. I'll be happy to see this year end!
P.S. I desperately need a haircut
Recd the pain de mie today. Tomorrow I'm going to make the white bread. Cwcdesign, I do see the honey oat recipe which looks good. That will be the 2nd experiment. Oohh, so excited! Doesn't take much. Lol
Decided to make some cake donuts, too.
Baking one our favorites from the KAF Whole Grain Baking book -- sour cream muffins.
Cwcdesign, I hope you can get your own business sooner than later. You still have 10 days to enjoy before going back to work. I'm sure there's going to be all kinds of safety measures to keep you as safe as possible. This whole situation stinks to say the least! Keep your chin up.
Poor Aaron. I feel your pain. I was a DBA and then a staff programmer at IBM for 27 yrs supporting the mfg line. I was on call 24/7 every single day including holidays. Ugh. I don't even want to think about it ever again! Glad I don't have to do that anymore.
BakerAunt, the mini pizzelle maker is cute and your crackers would be just the right size. I have 2 of the large electric pizzelle makers. I should make some pizzelles this week. Thanks for giving me the idea!
Hmmm, don't see the pain de mie on sale, BakerAunt.
BakerAunt, I also made yogurt the other day -- 2 qts. I still like Dannon the best. I usually use fat free milk but sometimes 1%. This time I had 2% in the fridge and used that. Wonderfully creamy when you're used to fat free.
Joan, my husband had hotdogs and chili for dinner last night, too. Mom and I ate the leftover ziti. I put pesto on mine. Yum!
Tonight is meatloaf with a salad or vegetable and probably mashed potatoes.
Giving my husband a haircut today. Not my favorite thing to do. My 88 yr old mom offered to cut my hair. Um, no thank you!!! This is the woman who needs new glasses and has an eye dr appt in a week and a half. Lol. I'll wait for the salons to open hopefully next week.
Ciabatta again!
How could I forget keeping the bird and hummingbird feeders stocked plus the birdbaths! I feed the chipmunks, too. Lol
Hiya, cwcdesign. I'm still on the fence with the bakers rewards. Leaning toward no. I'm pretty stocked up at the moment so I'll wait until holiday time to see if they have free shipping. I'll check out thrive market, too. Thanks for your input! And welcome back!!
