Daily Bread

I got off to a good start with my list of intentions for 2014 by baking a loaf of bread.  It is not a great loaf by any means of the imagination.  Firstly it got stuck in the tin and I tried to pull it out but it wouldn't budge, then I got a knife and impatiently hacked around the edge slicing through the loaf.  I am showing you the better side!  Not too sure on the salt water crust either until I put it to the taste test.

I have ordered my dried herbs to put into the sleep pillows that I propose to make.  It was quite an expensive outlay so I think I will be growing my own herbs to harvest after I have used up the bought ones.  Hops are traditionally used in herb pillows but are to be used in moderation if one suffers from depression.  I decided to leave them out of my herbal mix altogether and will use rose petals instead.  Who would not want to fall into slumber and pleasant dreams with the intoxicating scent of a rose garden?

Before I leave, the answer to my question on the last post was *approximately 3 metres* so well done to Marigold Jam who was spot on!

*Update*  I have tried this bread and I don't think I will be using the same recipe again!  The bread was doughy and the outside very tough, breaking up as I was slicing it.  The flavour wasn't too great either!   I will try bread making again using another recipe.
