All you need is loaf
Current mood: Breaded
Current music: The Beatles - All You Need Is Love
Ahahahaha! Success! I haf discoverrred zat by konnecting ze lightning generrrator to a coil wrrrapped arrround ze dough, I kann use ze elektrik kurrrrrrent to invigorrrate ze brrread und make it rrrise up out of its metal cell...
Riiight, that's enough Dr Frankenstein and fake European accent for today. But the latest experiment with the bread machine really has worked. Where once we had stodgy round bun-type thing, we have now achieved loaf. (The trick is to keep the dough nice and warm, and leave it plenty of time to rest. If the yeast is not relaxed, but stressed and edgy, it will refuse to work for you.)
So lunch today was a chunky sandwich made from the selfsame bread loaf. The filling was thrown together using the random odds and ends found loitering in the fridge, and I was worried that the ingredients might be mutually incompatible, but it all worked out. Mm-mm, I'm really rather pleased with the scrummy bread. Peace, loaf, and happiness, dudes. Make loaf, not war...
OK, OK, I'll stop the bad puns now.
...Y'know, I find it a real pain being a Shy Person. Sometimes I have to deliberate for ages before I steel myself to say hi to a complete stranger, say at a party or something. (You don't believe me, do you? I'm more loquacious in writing.) Then I miss the chance and spend the next few days kicking myself for being a coward. Aaaarrrgh! I wonder what it'd be like if you could buy bottles of Self Confidence, Charisma and Eloquence in the shops. Hey presto - Instant Likeability! At only £9.99 a bottle! And if you buy all three, we'll even throw in a box of Sparkling Sunshine Smiles, absolutely free!
That'll be the day.
Well, as the Beatles say, all I need is love - but if I haven't found it yet, I suppose I'll settle for loaf in the meantime...

Hey Cuz! hmm, love the bit about bread! hmm, bread and love, that's all one really needs isn't it? :o) yeah, we also have a bread maker at home that we haven't used for ages, now, but a few years back mum used to cut up some small bits of sundried tomatoes, and add a bit of the oil from the jar too (of sundried tomatoes) and also a little bit of Parmesan cheese- hmm, heavenly! yes, definitely recommend you and Aunty try it. (oh yeah, tell her I said hi, yeah?) yeah, as for the rest, just make sure your yeast is fresh and that the water is not too hot (that kills the yeast). other than that those bread machines are v impressive, and sure to work almost all the time.
yeah, we've been doing alright. sis (won't mention her name, coz it's a blog, but you know who I'm talking abt, yeah?) has been on night shift this week. I'm starting to write up my thesis, even tho it's SOOO slooow, and I still have experiments to do. anyway, I'll bookmark your web page and check it every now and then :o)
talking about phones, one of my work colleagues has her phone ring being her son (5 yrs old) singing Twinkle twinkle little star! Sooo cute! always make everyone in the office laugh. Funny enough , she also has a taping of her husband singing the national anthem, and he goes outta key several places- hilarious! I think the world needs more phone rings like that.
I get what you're talking about. I'm also quite shy about introducing myself to strangers. worse when I have to try and make conversation with them after the introduction. ugh! hate small talk.
anyway, will comment again later- better do some work. plus i have to finish my CV so I can apply for jobs- ugh again!
