Dreary Fall Day

Today was a dreary day in Oakville

lnd after our early morning visit to the health club we decided to do some home baking. Apple pies with the really good northern spies started us off but bread making became our main effort. I decided to make loaves this time instead of a combination of buns and a loaf.

I made a double batch and asked Doris to put the bread which filled the bowl after rising for a long time into loaves. Her method was one which she said was the way her mother did it so the technique was about 125 years old. Doris always wants to get involved so I try to do just that and it turns out to be the right thing to do.

After baking the bread and buttering the crust to keep it soft Doris came into the kitchen and as usual shows great surprise that everything turned out OK. Meanwhile Theresa finished her cake and we decided that this was the final baking for today. What started a a dull and dreary day turned out to be a happy experience with all three of us making our favourite home made goods.
