I do believe it is the end of April but it looks like January around here.......
Most of Colorado has been covered in the white stuff with Denver expecting up to 12 inches. I'm
not sure how the peonies feel about this fluffy coating of their flower buds. I'm wondering if they will flower. The weather is to warm up and be actually hot by the end of the week.
So yesterday, when it was 40 degrees and windy and cloudy, I dragged out the bread maker and made this cute loaf of plain white bread. I remember trying to make bread years ago at this altitude and it was a total failure. I followed some hints for high altitude baking and it turned out OK. I would like to make whole wheat next and pizza dough. And so, for lunch we had TLT's. Fresh bread, Just Mayo (egg and dairy free...really good), fresh plump tomatoes, lettuce/spinach and tempeh "bacon". Tempeh is soy and brown rice and spices and it is made into strips. Heat it in a pan until it's a bit crispy and it tastes and looks very close to bacon. (minus all the bad fat) We don't use substitutes very often, mostly sticking to just plain whole foods. But the fresh bread and tomatoes insisted we have sandwiches.
Jim saw the loaf of bread on my screen and thought it was a picture of his head. I am carrying through on my threat to expose him, despite his protests. About that snow--didn't anyone tell the snow gods that it is Spring?
ReplyDeleteHmm, that bread looks good! Nothing like baking something cozy and yummy on a snowy day.
