A quick trip to the supermarket to stock up on food.  Having one extra family member with a very good appetite to feed soon goes through the groceries.

Marina, it will probably taste ok but without the crunch of the almonds.

I baked my first loaf of SD Baker Bleu bread. I thought this will be a disaster. It was a sloppy mess when I put it into the hot baking pot. I also forgot to turn the heat down. 30 minutes later I took the lid off. Surprise, it looked great. Well risen with a nice crust. I impatiently waited for it to cool. When cut, lots of holes and the flavour was exceptional.  Very much tasted like the commercial one.
I used some wholemeal Spelt flour and I know my starter has good flavour. So all together a good result.
Marina, tell your DH that I don’t think you need to do all the kneading steps. I think the resting , both in and out of oven, especially just before baking does the trick. I also cooked it in a very large cast iron pot.

Marina, peach and tomato Salad.
Cup of small tomatoes cut in half
2 small containers of diced peaches , well drained
Few leaves of mint and parsley diced
1 teaspoon of lemon juice or similar
Mix all together and add just before serving ……
1 cup blanched almonds browned slightly in a little oil and then add 2 tablespoons of sweet smoked paprika. ( the Spanish type)
Too late, Chookie, I just made it 1/2 an hour ago!  I forgot the lemon juice and paprika and put the almonds in along with everything else.  It tastes OK at this stage, but I haven't got it home yet, so I will wait with bated breath to see how well I did!!!
