It has been an absolutely beautiful weekend. Nothing we can do at the farm of course, so yesterday we went and visited some very dear friends who are like family to us. It was a good day.
2nd Man started some bread when we got home and baked it this morning. It's a work in progress but came out great. This is a whole grain and wheat bread.
You all may remember where we posted HERE about our Bonne Maman Fall Trio. We had the "Fig Preserves" and the "Cranberry-Cherry Preserves" today. They are SO good. On homemade healthy bread, it was the perfect breakfast.
As for Hobart, here's a picture from when it was cold and he was sleeping on the couch and wanted to be covered up...well, most of him covered up. He likes to have leg sticking out. We guess it's the perfect balance and we are willing to oblige. Because...

Wow! I hate following that comment. Nothing tastes better than warm from the oven bread (except maybe warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies)
ReplyDeleteDeleted and IP address reported to Google. Thanks, yes, fresh bread is so comforting. But yeah, I agree, chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven are THE best!
DeleteWell, it looks someone has a problem ... ^ there! Good grief ... get a frigging grip!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned some time ago that I had bought a couple jars of the Bonne Maman orange marmalade and, I swear, the Walmart brand orange marmalade is 10 times better!
2nd Man's bread looks phenomenal!
Yeah, yikes, but deleted and reported. We have liked BM's marmalade but I will pick up a jar from Walmart and try it out. I LOVE a good marmalade. Thank you!
Delete2nd Man’s loaves of bread look absolutely beautiful! The preserves are the perfect topping. Mmm! I used to make fig preserves. But the Big Freeze of 2021 killed most of the trees and severely damaged the survivors.
ReplyDeleteHobart definitely knows how to stay warm and cozy when it’s cold. And of course, the feet in or out are the perfect temp regulator.
Thanks, yeah, I hope our fig tree made it, it was looking fairly ok last time I checked. Yep, Hobart does like me, all covered up but feet out. Otherwise I'm too hot, ha! :-)
DeleteI cat sit for my grand cat this weekend, it was cool but not cold, but she wanted a heating pad on low to sleep on. When at Grams house you get what you want. Her family spoils her too. I did have only three bowls of food out to get her to eat. She likes sour cream or ice cream and whatever I am eating, even a drop or two of coffee from my fingertip in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI like a hand out sometimes to sleep in cold weather. The bread looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMight you share the recipe 2nd man used? I've recently got back into bread making and am trying to find a good multi grain wheat bread. TIA!
