Thursday – 17/11/2016 – Mmmm … It's Homemade Bread Day in the TDK Café

BTW, there have been more than 2000 quakes since midnight Monday(NZ time).

I suspect I will sleep like all three kittens tonight.
Catch you on the flip side.

KJ, I forgot to tell you that I love your new chair. And especially love the way your colors all work together. What a cozy, comfortable room!!

I love to bake bread, pizza and flatbreads, but am only making the latter two now as I no longer have a full-sized stove; just a countertop convection oven. Flatbread with olives and red onions is very nice, and actually I like a pizza with the same two things and a bit of cheese. Nothing too heavy or greasy.

Though cats aren’t usually interested in eating those foods, except the cheese, unless they are terribly hungry.

Good Friday morning all.

I did sleep as soundly as three kittens. Wonderful.
KJ I am still chuckling over your street find mishap. 😆 I can just picture you carrying a baguette home KJ and if necessary they would help break your fall should you trip. Crumbs, saved by the bread.
😉
KZ, didn’t the cats even look slightly guilty? Tsk tsk, wee demons.
we are not really feeling the quakes where I live but where daughter Airy and sister KK definitely are. KK also had tsunami evacuation alert while Airy had a day off work while her building was checked by engineers. Hoping it is rechecked very soon as more cracks have appeared and water is coming out of parts of it. Thank goodness it’s Friday and she will be out of it for two days but even so . . I am a nervous Mother. There have now been over 2600 quakes, most of the tourists have been evacuated from the quake isolated whale watching town but the after effects will be felt for years to come with entire parts of the main state highway in tatters including the main trunk rail line. Some towns have lost their entire history with every thing damaged beyond repair. Even the seal,dolphin and whale breeding areas have suffered damage just before the breeding season begins. The quakes may take quite a long time to settle as it was two separate faults going at the same time and the main quake has been revised to a rather large 7.8 magnitude.
Bread ! I loved nothing more than baking my own bread, especially in Winter because kneading is a great way to warm up. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, fresh bread, still hot with real butter melting on it. There is nothing quite like it. I don’t eat much bread now and Meegz has ‘fostered’ my breadmaker.
It’s a sort of sunny day here but with a nasty cold wind. Friday is linen wash day and the line is almost full and my washing machine has just played it’s merry tune to announce the third load is done. I went slightly crazy and have washed the duvet inners and the mattress protectors as well as the sheets. At least the wind will dry it all quickly.

WooHoo-it’s snowing and windy-ing! I’m a happy camper and so is Miss Gaea…NOT! This is Miss Gaea: 👿 She’s being a loaf right now. Oops, LilBit went over to her and is being an “upside down” loaf?

Such puns-I love the “I have risen” kit.

I love, love bread…the smell, the feel, the taste. Alas, it doesn’t like as much anymore. *sigh*

On board ship, peeps who got in trouble were put in the Brig. For up to three days, their diet consisted of bread and water. I used to eat like that and didn’t have to the Brig. 😀

I’m glad Airy and KK are doing OK. The devastation from the earthquakes and tremors is sad but you can re-build even if it doesn’t seem possible. Fortunately, there weren’t many lives lost.

I hope you enjoyed your noms and Dorry was appreciative. 😆

Cya l8r and have a happy~
