I had a really good day. Started with sleeping in, then that painting trip to Rachel's home, then groceries. That was all in a previous post.
The rest of the day included working some more on the painting of my trunk, some weeding, that laundry, getting the cake baked and iced, fixing shrimp for dinner, and that run. Not as much running today but I'm running in the heat of the day.
I also started a sponge, with commercial yeast. I'm feeding it mostly whole wheat flour and sugar with a bit of oatmeal from when I scrape the last bit of batter back into the sponge bowl. I'm going to try something at WW - fixing yeast-raised oatcakes of an evening to go with a bit of cheese and meat if I have it, some fruit, maybe an onion. I like onions if they are the washington sweets, lol. Pickles. Did they cultivate pickles in ireland in the 900's? Wikipedia confirms they are an old world food, at least. Anyway, if I can borrow a corner of someone's fire of an evening, I will bake up a batch of oatcakes, partly to just see how it would have been as a campfood. How I like them, day after day. Simple to fix, only need the sponge and the bag of oat and wheat flour. Fat to ease the turning of them.
So I'm getting a shower and coming back to this Missouri wine. And then another blog post to be written!
