Still Stripping!! and Sourdoughing!

We ordered new Sofas last week, expecting them to arrive in 4-5 weeks time according to the delivery quote. Nice lady rang up this morning to say they were ready and could be delivered next Tuesday. Not what you expect from british workmanship is it??
Since the middle room is in the process of being stripped and revamped and replastered in areas, we had to delay the delivery. Shame, but we would never be ready in time.
Made a beautiful Oatmeal, Potato and Wholewheat Sourdough loaf today, which is in the oven as I type, releasing its gorgeous aromas all around. I make the dough in the ABM then do the folding and rising later so it has time to prove properly. It is the most fabulous bread with a good Sourdough flavour. One loaf lasts us all week for toast and sandwiches etc., so is a good deal. I use a Red sea Starter I obtained from my friends on the Recipezaar site in the US. They have been wonderful through my early sourdoughing days with answering queries etc. Great site.
The Goulash last night was delicious. We ended up using Quorn Beef style pieces not meatballs and the flavour was very good.
Tonight we are having Tomato fillets
Broccoli Cauliflower & Carrots
6 oz of New Potatoes
Hollandaise Sauce (packet)
to save calories.
We don't have puddings so we should be slim Jims, tomorrow is a weekly weigh in so I hope the Healthy Eating has been worth it!!
