Breads and Rolls – Baking with Yeast Recipes
Baking is a lot of fun, but when you work with yeast for your baked goods, you need to set aside a much longer period of time to complete your project to allow for the rising time of the dough. Plus you need a favorable temperature of your surroundings to have success with your baking.
I am dedicating this post to all my bread and rolls, and all recipes requiring yeast as the leavening agent.
Crocheting Fun and Counting Stitches
Crocheting is a fun activity anytime, but even more fun during a quite intense election time. While others were busy counting votes, I enjoyed counting stitches of my crocheting project.
I managed to crochet a beautiful baby blanket and a baby hat, which I will display in this post.
My New Suburban Organic Veggie Garden
Three years ago I changed the layout of my original veggie garden, turning it into 3 rectangular beds, using over 120 cinder blocks (one cinder block weighs 30 lbs. so it was a really good workout for me…:-)
I was pretty happy with my new garden, until this year after reading an article about cinder blocks, and finding a lot of conflicting information about Fly Ash used in concrete production. I contacted the concrete manufacturer and was reassured that they use only .35% of fly ash, which is quite safe and nothing to worry about.
August Flower Garden
It has been a while since I shared any of the blooming flowers in my garden, hence today is the day.
Unfortunately, I was unable to add any new plants to my garden this year, since I diligently followed the COVID19 Stay Home policy, and refrained from any unnecessary shopping outings.
