Anyone who knows us, knows that we do crosswords on a Sunday. Well, they keep the brain going don't they..stop you going daft. I like the finding out of the answers, and the pleasure you get from getting an answer that you already know.
I have also made our usual loaf of bread today. I leave the Starter overnight with a cup of flour and a cup of mineral water. This rises in a normal room temperature overnight then next morning it is bubbly and ready to use. I generally do a recipe from Recipezaar for Potato and Oatmeal Bread, which is a beautiful loaf, but we mess around with the flour a bit. Put some white, Spelt and barleycorn in it. Today though it seemed a bit stiffer, not as soft a dough, so I used a smaller tin to make the loaf, came upstairs to do the crosswords, then when I went down it had risen well over the top of the tin!!! So we will now have a nice loaf after all. We use some of the dough to make the pizza base too, it makes a gorgeous base.So tonight we are having:
Pizza with home-made tomato base, (well..it is Sunday)
Roasted vegetables, pepper, onion,baby plum tomatoes, courgettes.
Goat Cheese topping,
Salad with baby tomatoes, Avocado, cucumber, mixed seeds.
Light dressings.
Yum Yum it's the best meal of the week.
