2025 - Today's Recipe

B. Home made bread* and raspberry jam.
L. Leftover lentil & mushroom curry and rice
D. Jacket potato with tuna mayo and gherkins. 

*  made the bread yesterday in the breadmaker BUT made an error in measuring the yeast! It should have been 1 and half teaspoons but I added 1 and a half Tablespoons. Its rose so much that the top was pushing against the lid. Its the tallest loaf I've ever made.

Simila story here!  I used to make wine. One old recipe called for a slice of toast floated on top of the must and the yeast sprinkled on top of the toast to allow it to be added gradually. Imagine my astonishment the next day when there was a two foot by eighteen inch slice of toast hangimg over the side of the bucket!
