Baking Bread

Why not?

I have whole wheat flour, honey, a bread pan along with a really great oven.

It is something that I did with incredible regularity the first few years we were married. Then we moved to Europe and I just ran out of time. It is such a great way to burn off excess whatever and exercise the arms…

This was followed by the years of the bread machine, the last of which bit the dust right after I moved back to Germany from the UK and the little paddle got lost. That was also when Morphy-Richardson refused to mail a replacement to Germany saying I had to get the part from their German wholesaler. The wholesaler, of course, neither carried parts or dealt with retail customers.

So here I am with supplies and time on my hand.

And no interest in hiking out for a loaf of bread.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
