ahhhh Envy Me!

I have in my possession not one, but TWO loaves of housewolf's home made bread

one is a standard sandwich loaf and one an artisan loaf!

I can't wait to try it with dinner tonight :bounce:

not to mention she was so kind and generous to give me a bag of yeast she didn't need. :loveya:

:hi:

1. I think this is mean & I'm alerting!

:rofl:

How lucky for you. Did you two get together & have fun?

Tell her I said hi

:hug:

2. we had lunch today

and I couldn't wait for dinner, the artisan bread kept up it's siren's call until I caved into it's temptress' ways

and it was good..... very very good :bounce:

8. That "artisan" loaf

was a very simple French Bread recipe. It was the first time I used that recipe and thought that it turned out pretty well. I'd like to slow it down so it develops more flavor but I wanted to do the recipe as it was the first time to see how it came out. I was pretty happy with it, especially with the texture. Hope you enjoy it.

I used to make my own bread. It's fantastic! I haven't done it in years though.

11. housewolf gave us a veritable virtual symposium last winter

with a bit of help from our beloved H2S

I'd be glad to look up the link for you....

12. OK

I'd really like to make bread again

[NMDemDist2]

7. What AzDem neglected to say...

was that I have in my hot little hands a slice of HER wonderful home-made bread to try too! (not to mention a bag full of ambrosial coffee beans that have been driving me to distraction all afternoon)

AND... I got to meet Mr. Ketchup! And an absolute sweetheart if I've ever met one... AzDem & Mr. K. are a charming couple and lucky beyond belief to have each other.

I have to say... I really think I got the better of this deal - lunch, bread, coffee, Mr. Ketchup....

AzDem's bread smells and looks great, I just got home and am ready to stick it into the toaster, can't wait any longer!

It was fun to meet and get together, I wish more of us lived close enough to get together.


:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

9. how fun for both of you!

I swear, if we ever to AZ I'll give you two a shout out & maybe we can meet.

:hi:

edited to add: the first margharita I ever tasted was in Yuma. I was maybe 12. I've never, ever had one anywhere near as good & I've always recalled AZ with fondness.

13. Hey!

How's modding going?

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

14. sad without you! n/t

[NMDemDist2]

10. and I had to fight him for that slice LOL

and if it's any good, it's because of your patient tutelage last winter :hug:

it really was fun to meet you, we'll definitely have to do it again!
