Good evening Doug and all who follow.

A beautiful autumn day today with lovely rain overnight.

Coffee on the verandah and Loki appeared after her breakfast and jumped onto the railing to do her morning scowl. Missed her footing and a wild scramble to get back. The only giggles she heard … we blamed Eli for them so Eli copped the wrath of the queenly photon torpedos.

Shopping as ever. Can’t run out of cat food. More wisteria removal this afternoon. It’s nearly done. The thick stump will reshoot with a vengeance but after the new pergola is built.

Darla I bet all is well. :thumbsup:

Char, ((())). I hope I didn’t hex you. I can remember running across a carpark in the rain to get to work without being too wet. I slipped and landed face first in a fairly deep puddle. Another great idea down the drain, as I wrung out my clothing.

Kay, you echoed my thoughts re lantana. Linda, maybe it’s not a filthy noxious spreading weed in Texas?

I should be able to finish the bananas tomorrow.

Glad your feeling better Doug..Sounds like fun at Mnt. Nebo……..The resort is shrinking most of the Canadians are now gone and they make up a large percentage of our members…….We have 30 days……….give or take……Things not going well in DC land…….duh…..best to all ……………

PS: Char it is a total separate sous vide machine……..

Dry and dull here…..fingers crossed for Darla.

Good day all,

It’s snowing! We may get a couple of inches but it will melt with temps rising to 40 F today.

Doug, my experience with no knead bread is it rises and spills over the top of the pan burning on the shelf. An awkward looking loaf.

I was afraid I might not be able to finish my frames in time for the show so I found a deal on Dick Blick’s for some metal frames. Afraid they would be inferior for the $10 price a frame. they arrived yesterday and they are perfect. Frame 11″x14″, glass and backing. I’ll order these again when they go on sale. The shipping was free!

I’ll be going south today to have lunch with a teacher and some aides with whom I worked at school. Then some shopping.

My thoughts are with Darla.

Char, hope you are feeling better today.

Bill

everyone,
It is sunny but looks like full winter again. It snowed during the night and the streets are covered again when they were finally clear and dry yesterday. :rolleyes:

No gym this morning. I have a dental check up and then we are going shopping for paint. Tomorrow I’m helping my son paint a mural at his in-laws new cottage so I need an assortment of house paint (the in-laws are paying for the supplies). It will be a very basic design and we are hoping to get it finished this weekend.

Today I’ll get some household chores done because I have to stick around this afternoon so my client from the finished commission can pick it up.

Char – I’m so sorry you fell like that. :grouphug: Any idea why you are having trouble with that leg? Get it checked.

Darla x I hope the bumps are just an annoyance and nothing serious.

Doug – the bread looks great. Sorry the other pan tipped. I’m having trouble with my bread sticking as well so the next loaf I’m lining the pan with tin foil so it slides out easily. After that I’ll try greasing and flouring the pan like a cake.

Bill – the only things I can think of to make it run over would be either too much dough for the pan or maybe you are letting the dough rise too long the second time? When I put mine in the oven it is just even with the top of the pan. It’s never run over for me.

I better get moving. Have a great day everyone.

Linda, your pond looks like a great place to rest your mind. Lovely landscaping.

Ellen, you are probably right. I think I let it rise too long before putting it into the oven. Lately I’ve been baking by first lining the pan with parchment paper. i also use a cast iron pan.
