Bread

Well, went shopping for bread yesterday and was interested in the giraffe loaf .. a nice crusty loaf with giraffe like patterns on it .. what a bloomer!!! Why it's called a bloomer and not a giraffe loaf we couldn't work out but maybe cause everyone thinks it's a giraffe loaf and then finds out it's not and says "Qot a bloomer," Especially as next to it was a tiger loaf!!! All lemuures could make that mistake.

Such nice crusty loafs to go with the herbals. We haven't tried them but were very tempted after seeing those lemuures in Jerusalem with their sweet chala bread,

It's a long time since I've baked some bread. Bread is lovely straight from the oven while it's still warm and the margies melt from the warmth of the newly cooked loaf or bun but we've found that you have to eat it quickly because it just gets crustier and crustier and crustier very quickly til it becomes too hard to chew. Though maybe these days you can buy the new fangled flour that keeps the bread nice and soft. Uncle John says if we can get people to the moon this should be possible. We'll have to have a look and find out.

Maybe we could even try to bake some chala bread anyway.
