My gift to everyone for this new year is the menu for last night's dinner. It's the first proper dinner I've done in so very long I thought I was incapable! I was not only capable, I even cleaned the bathroom!! It was a light meal, because most of us were coming from Conflux and I noticed how heavy the food was in the vicinity of the hotel.

Although I have long wanted to visit Australia, your menu choices really make me wish I could simply walk through a door and find myself there. Really, we need instantaneous matter transporters. Now!

One day I shall feed you dinner!

One day, you will put out the call that you are open to visitors, and I will show up on your doorstep. :)

Bread making, yes, I love it too. One of these days I might try challah again. But mostly I prefer to make bread that takes about an hour to rise and doesn't need to be braided.

My grandmother made challah, way back in the 30s. Mum says her way of getting it to rise a bit quicker was to put it in its basin, cover with a tea-towel, cover that with a cushion and leave in the sun. A good thought.

I like having it rise in the background while I work. The kneading gives me breaks in work and relaxes me. I wouldn't do it every week, though.
