War Bread And Crumpets

The War Bread is based on an old WW1 rationing recipe that calls for shortening (I used Crisco) instead of butter and corn syrup instead of sugar as well as active dry yeast (which I use anyways...) instead of cake yeast. Its interesting and better than your average white bread but still not something that you'd want to eat all the time.

Dressed and ready to go crumpets.

A platter-full.

Another Batch Of Potato Bread

With the us going through the potato bread as quickly as we have this morning demanded another batch to be made.

Oatmeal Bread

Friday I was having a bad day and just needed to make a loaf of bread.

70 and 44 Months!

There was something uniquely satisfying about these monthly pics of the boys even though it was as difficult as pulling teeth as usual. The photos of them together remind me somehow of photos of the Rat Pack, Sinatra, Martin, Lewis and Sammy Davis. There's something about their careful insouciance and wildness. That and the pajamas... Though the boys' wildness is not caused by alcohol but sugar, it's just as unpredictable.
