13 Oct '10

Baking bread is hard work!  I got up this morning, had my usual bowl of porridge and headed off to Betty's Cooking School for a full day of Basic Breadmaking.  It was a good thing I had that porridge--it allowed me to stay on track and not have the croissant with the morning coffee.  I also managed to resist the afternoon cake, so it was a good day.

For lunch we had a lovely little quiche, a mixed leaf salad and some kind of berry dessert thing; I also had 1/2 a glass of the white wine.  I took a sports bottle with some lemon and lime slices, so I was able to resist all the cordials and other drinks and still stay on track with my water.

I left there with 2 Yorkshire Cobble Loaves, 2 Swiss Fitness Loaves, a Swiss stick and 8 dinner rolls.  I had the smallest of the dinner rolls when I got home and I must say--they were pretty tasty, even if I do say do myself : )  I'm going to put the rest in the freezer and freshen it up on Sunday to take to work.

I had my Curried Rice and Shrimp leftovers and now I'm off to do stretches, read a bit and get some sleep.
