Sunday, 17-05-26

Good morning to you all.  Hoping you are all well and enjoying the weekend.  Yesterday started really sunny and that lasted while three loads of washing dried on the line.  Sadly, it then clouded over and started raining later on but good for the garden, I guess.  Today has started the same but maybe it will last.  It would be nice if things warmed up a bit too - I had the heating on again.  

I got a fair bit done yesterday.  All the washing, drying and ironing, started the sourdough, tried a new recipe for wraps (lovely, will use from now on, more below) and did some clearing up, etc.  The holiday is now just a memory! 

My fortnightly Oddbox arrived overnight - now I have lots of lovely produce to work my way through over the next few weeks.  I doubt I will need to do much shopping, if any, for a while although you never know with fresh stuff and, thinking about it, I'm a bit low on carrots.

Because it was rather chilly, I left the sourdough out overnight for its bulk ferment.  I won't be able to do that for much longer; it almost over-fermented although it's OK as I use loaf tins rather then free form as Lindsey prefers it.
They're now shaped and in the tins for the last bit.

I found the wrap recipe on a vlog I follow closely.  I am sure some of you know Ali from Ali Lives Well on Less.  She used to have a blog - still does, I think - but has mostly moved over to vlogging on YouTube and I really enjoy her posts.
For her Foodie Friday post she demo-ed making simple wraps and I had a go, cutting the amounts right down.  The process was so easy and the results were so tasty that I'm making more today, using other kinds of flour and trying oil instead of butter.  I wonder if I will ever buy another pack of wraps.

Well, it is almost nine and I ought to get myself bathed and dressed ready for the day.  Have a great Sunday, everyone.  xx

  1. The oddbox looks great. Sounds like you’re right back into your bread making routine, I bet you could nearly do it with eyes shut 😀
    I will be so glad when it warms up a bit, I’ll have to try not to say “ it’s too hot “ 😂
