I have been either busy or... too lazy lately... My irregular work pattern does not help crafting either. Luckily there are some lovely and sunny days to boost my energy :-D. More of theses days please [-> if anyone is listening?!].
Long evenings are good for crocheting and some new purses/make-up bags got to see the daylight.
But mainly I got crazy with the Great British Bake Off! Really like it! maybe I will try to take part in the next one? But J says they would get rid of me after the first part, as I never follow any recipes! Anyway... there is nothing like a home-baked bread with home-made butter for... any time of the day. I will soon update my cooking blog with all the recipes I tried [butchered? = reinvented!]. I even got a book by Paul Hollywood "100 Great Breads" [for my approaching nameday] and wanted to try ALL recipes from the book to master the bread baking. But, to be honest, I am not capable of following someone else's guidelines. I need to try to make things my way... ALWAYS! Also all the recipes in the book are based on yeast. I use sourdough starter, as I think it tastes better, keeps for longer and... it is more difficult to master :-D
But overall - great book, wonderful inspiration! Fantastic recipes and Paul Hollywood is the real master of bread making.
I even made his famous 8 plaited loaf [sadly not in the book, but certainly somewhere on the Internet] - fun! Mine was with olive oil and oregano...
I even got an offer of selling my breads already! Not sure if it is going to happen though, because then it will not be so much fun.
And because it is getting cooler and cooler, not only bread but also potatoes are now in our kitchen! Blini or rather, as we call it, potato pancakes are something I can not resist at any time. It does not matter sweet or savory- all taste divine... yum!
