There's a reason I have this username...

Last night I baked three batches of bread (one spelt, the rest wheat) for Bardic tomorrow. I have six more to do today. My shoulders will feel this!
...and I'm thinking that six might not be enough (it ends up as one loaf, approx 1.25 lbs) for 5 people. Yes, that's a reasonable amount, but when it comes out first with cheese people tend to eat more than they would otherwise.

Hurricane Galen hit last night.

Batch #6 is in the oven right now. Shoulders somewhat knotty, but manageable. Of course, I have at least three more to knead.

Galen caught a bug about ten minutes ago. Granted, it was one of those "flies on steroids" - large, slow moving, easy target. He didn't even have to jump for it - more like a "mash against the window".

Then he ate it. Oog.

The worst part? Having decided this was neat, he proceeded to sit by the window, blithely assuming that more bugs would come in for him to attack.

...and thirty seconds later, one did. Smack! Chomp.

I suspect he'll be haunting this window for days.

last post of the day. Really! I mean it.

9 batches of bread done, 2 to go... I think I'm getting a slight kneading blister
