Loaves and Veggies...

As I type this there is a wonderful amoma of baking bread in the air. Started the day watching the remembrance Day service on the television, then got our bread going. we did mostly a white loaf, with 1/2 a cup of Jumbo oats in it. Then watch the liquid going in. If you don't add enough you get a heavier dough, but today's is just right,. It has risen beautifully, well over the top of the pan, and it is nearly baked now at 5.45. Making a Sourdough takes best part of the day, but it isn't exactly onerous, and you do get a wonderful loaf.
Did our Pizza dough as well, and the Roast veggies for the top also. VT didn't go out today because the weather turned really manky during the morning, so he stayed in. We actually had thunder and Lightening this morning, but it didn't last long.
The crosswords today were mixed. VT did his in record time, but mine was trickier because they were all Capital Cities, and some of them were tricky. But we got there in the end. The Mail on Sunday was quite easy. VT did quite a number to begin with, then we finished them off on the Computer. Love doing those,you get a sense of accomplishment when they are done.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with our own dough,
Tomato Sauce ( just taken out of the freezer) We usually take it out first thing in the morning but we have forgotten today, until I have just typed this on here!!
Salad with our salad mix and usual veggies, and avocado., and baby plum tomatoes.
Potato salad and Rice salad for VT.
