Thank you, it was tasty.Very good looking! I made bread yesterday.... didn't work the way I wanted it to... didn't rise as much as it should have... so I thought I would make more today... I put the yeast in the warm water... and a bit later looked at it and was all "huh, that ain't right". I asked kid to come look (he also bakes bread), and asked him, "that looks wrong... correct?" He said yep! Then he asked if they yeast was too old... he found the jar...yep... old.
I thought it worked fine 2 months ago.
Yeah, fresh yeast helps...lol I keep mine in the fridge or freezer.
That's so funny!The picture of your bread reminded me of an OCD trait my husband had. He didn't like bread with holes in it. He would pick up loaf after loaf at the store, fanning the slices, peering through the wrapping of the bag-with all the print on it-looking for holes and complaining about them.
Why? because when he made toast, the butter and honey leaked out through the holes and it drove him over the edge of despair.I;m sitting here laughing at the mental picture of him rejecting loaf after loaf until he found one with little to no holes.
I know my loaf looks full of holes, but you'd have to cut this one really thin to have any go all of the way through. I love it like that... all those nooks and cranny's for holding extra butter and honey or jam...
No offense taken.I don't want to buy a scale, I don't want to weigh my ingredients in grams, I'm a stick-in-the-mud who wants to use the measuring cups and spoons that my mother did, and that I have utilized for all my life, no offence intended.
I was at a beekeeping class all day today.
It's so fun to come on here and read all of the posts.
Hope you all have a great night.

This is precisely why I have hair sheep. If I had wool sheep, I would have to learn how to shear them. Then learn to wash the wool, card it, spin it and learn to knit. Nope.
I am a cup and spoon fan, that's how I measure.I don't want to buy a scale, I don't want to weigh my ingredients in grams, I'm a stick-in-the-mud who wants to use the measuring cups and spoons that my mother did, and that I have utilized for all my life, no offence intended.

It looked awesome to me. It would give BJ a meltdown.That's so funny!
He had his idiosyncracies, I didn't care. It was all a part of what made him who he was. When he retired, he decided I loaded the dishwasher wrong. I gladly abdicated my dishwasher throne and let him have it.

First cup of coffee down. A couple of guys are coming today to buy the white Dorpers. I'm going to teach my class, then come home to meet them. Son will be here too. They are bringing a cage in the back of a pickup. Those Dorpers are not going to appreciate being picked up to truck bed level and put in a cage. It should be interesting.
Then Layne and I are going to sort out the lambs in the middle field, turn the ewe lambs out on the field, rams in holding pen. Then sort out Little Ringo from the flock in the front field and run them across the driveway. Sort out the ram lambs and load them up. May sort out a few ewes too to take to auction. We will worm the ewe lambs and ewes as we go. Leave out at 2 AM to go to Hamilton for the Monday auction. Going to be a rough couple of days.
