Also … both Puggies had a bath to deodorise and de-fluff. They rather enjoyed it.

Forget bank account details, dere, but pug photies urgently required. Pretty please…
Only if you feel like it. But I do rather love a pug.

Nope. Although I have got some bread doing a final prove. As I applied fancypants Dan Lepard methods for white bread to my by now own peanut and seedy bread recipe, loosely based on Jack Monroe’s, it could be a bit of a disaster. Which would be unfortunate, as there will be one small very dissatisfied customer if it is. And I Promised, see.
Why do I do these stupid things? Mind you if it wasn’t for stupid things, I would do nothing at all.

I have done very little apart from cleaning the washing machine & dishwasher - which is just switching them on, TBH
There is More Flingage about to take place, though…

Werl, Gus, I am told by those wot know that a lot of the come-ons are deliberately obvious, so that if you’re the sort of person who’s going to go “hang on, this is a bit iffy” you’ll do it immediately and not waste their time.

I’m the former Nigerian Finance Minister. If you can send me your bank details and loan me full use of that account, I will arrange for 145 million $US to be transferred to it on condition that in one month from now you give me half of it back.

Oh Marjorie, thank you so much. Please when it is cool enough not to annoy them give them a bit of a friendly rub round the ears from me.
Lovely girls. They can’t help snorting, poor wee darlings.

Well, bread seemingly not a car crash. Haven’t tasted it mind, but it had oven spring, smelt good and looked suitably pncey and expensive and artisanal. One happy small boy with his very own loaf to take home with him tomorrow and another to share with his gran at breakfast. As they can’t get through that much at breakfast, that’s my friend sorted for bread for the week.
Now embarked on another loaf, plain white and following instructions to the letter to see if it really is marvellous wonderbread when made according to Mr Lepard.
Displacement activity much?

Well, I have a boule in the oven, as it were, In fact, it is about to be removed from same and hey, it’s only just after 11pm. What did I say about doing stupid things?
400g of flour has certainly become very big… But we await results of taste tests.
Buttered crusts for our dear Chatelaine, I think.

You have the best of it with the crusts, Dahlink. Crusts are good - dish full of hot water in oven to create Steam, and all that jazz so they blimmin’ well should be. But the texture is only so-so (better than what one can buy without spending stupid money, mind, but I was hoping for an Epiphanal Loaf, and this is not it) and it is just not terribly exciting. Buttered crusts, though, are more than acceptable, so fill yer boots, me dere.

After cooking, you need serving suggestions. This is popular in Korea I believe.
