I Made Bread!!!

[+Glafnazur]

I made my first ever loaf of bread yesterday. It came out a bit well done, next time I will probably take it out 5 minutes earlier but it tastes good 😋

Actually my mum was chucking a bread maker out nowt wrong with it so I’m having it , see how that goes Dave 👍

I have a bread maker, but have not used it yet, I was going to use it but in the end I made it by hand. The bread maker is in a box under a load of Sue's old meds, unfortunately I still have a lot of clearing up to do since Sue passed in September and to be honest I've found it difficult to do anything. One of the reasons I went to see the moon at the cathedral was because I had been feeling the need to go into church. I went down into St Katherine's Chapel and I spent quite a while praying in there, it was the first time I have felt peace since Sue passed and I didn't cry at all yesterday which was a first.  Since going into the chapel I can feel her presence with me and I feel so much better. I had been thinking of going to the doctors because I thought I had depression, some days all I did was cry, the slightest thing would set me off. Since going into the chapel I feel happy and at peace. Although I miss her, I know that Sue is happy and well and will be waiting for me when my time eventually comes. Have I suddenly got religion, I don't know, but what I do know is that something in that chapel happened to me and I feel better for it.

Freshly baked bread, one of life's pleasures.

I've got stew in the slow cooker, another one of life's pleasures 😋😋

Well pleased you are finding some peace at last.

Long may it continue.

That looks nice! Can't beat tasty crusty bread.

I make my own Curries, Chillies, Chow meins amongst other bits, will have to have a masterchef thread 😉

I work at a bakery so can't really say anything! 😄

[+Streetbob]

The bread looks good I bet the house smelled good too. Glad you are finding some solace.

[+Derbyshire Dave]

It's such a nice thing to do Dave, Very engrossing, I do a couple of batches a month, including a sourdough. When you get into it a it more I'll let you know how to do that, you'll need a starter, but I can get you one.

 

But for now, just carry on as you are and build some confidence.

I've been a born again Christian for over 30 years and I can tell you it helps and is a comfort..

Loaf number 2, I made in the bread maker and it wasn't as good, so for number 3 I went back to making it by hand and it looks a lot better
