The neighbors hens wandered again the other day. I guess they know enough to only wander nearby.
At the library, we withdrew a few bread machine cookbooks, which I brought home. I like to try new recipes, and it's easy to adapt them for mixing by hand or with a mixer. And I'm especially eager to try a method that uses only a quarter teaspoon of yeast per loaf. It's on a youtube channel "Artisan Bread with Steve". I wish I knew a way to adapt his method for use with other recipes. For me, the less yeast used, the better.
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world, yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky. There have been as many plagues as wars in history, yet always plagues and wars take people equally by surprise.
- Albert Camus*
No, I have not been reading Camus! This passage was in a magazine.
Very apt Camus quote!
