Today

Today I had a store-bought bread for breakfast for the first time since I started baking my own.

Today I took the train back to Oxford and finished reading my bread baking textbook (Daniel T. DiMuzio).

Today we indulged in an evening of cheap trashy DVDs (Zombieland and Cloverfield) while drinking beer. All we lacked was KFC.

Today I shopped and shopped. Uh oh.

Today I took a train to Plymouth to see Peter.

Today I studied hard about homofermentative (gay) and heterofermentative (straight) bacteria and the lactic and acetic acids they produce in bread. How interesting.

Today I grudgingly returned the wonderful freebies which a merchant had delivered to me by mistake. I guess it was the right thing to do.

Today I didn't have to make dinner as I have loads of leftover baked pasta from yesterday, so I went to bed early reading DiMizio's Bread Baking.

Today we planted the onions, garlic and beans at the allotment.

Today we had a great pub lunch with Ash and Monika. We went to the allotment and walked to town by the canal, returning to Jericho via a portal to watch the new Woody Allen film.

Today Peter came to see me in Oxford! I baked a very nice beautiful loaf for our breakfast this weekend, and steamed the pizza by mistake.

Today I took a walk at the countryside, my favourite tree was still asleep. Lazy bum.

Today I spent most of my evening answering a survey on shopping, and then spent the rest of the time shopping online. It's a trick!

Today I made some banana cookies (banookies) that turned out like pancakes.

Today I made used my new banneton to make a pretty sourdough bread.

Today I woke up at 8am to do laundry, and then met Garrett for lunch, and Neil for coffee and then went to town and had ice cream by the canal. It felt like a good long day.

Today I worked really hard at my allotment.

Today I mixed some dough for making sourdough bread tomorrow, and made some rosti for dinner. I really ought to do other things than cook.

Today I made a pizza and overloaded it.

Today I made some pizza dough for baking tomorrow.
