A few good things




And here we are at the end of June.

I was weeding in the backyard one morning and saw this canary orange finch at the other end of the yard. It was a lovely day and this finch going about his business in the quiet of the morning added to the magic.

Later on, I started  baking this no knead 100% whole wheat bread, courtesy of a youtube video by retired English cook John Kirkwood.  Every time the dough doubled in size, 3 rises in fact, it brought me such delight and a feeling of success! Then the dough baked up perfectly. Whole Wheat is a lot healthier than white bread.

 It wasn't a perfect day, but a few good things did happen!

  6. Your bread looks delicious! I really must try making bread again. It's been a long time since I did that but you've inspired me. Thank you for the link. I will take a look. I have never seen an orange finch before. The weather is hot and humid down our way. I don't do well in humidity so will delay my weeding for a while.

  10. No knead?! That's my kind of recipe. I'm always on the look for recipes with a 'no' - no work, no more than 3 ingredients, no bake, no glutten; you get the idea.
