    Hurray, just returned from a friends place with my new bread maker.:)

    It’s an old, sturdy and reliable „Le Caf“ BGB 404. One of the very early models. Just have to find a manual for it. :P

    Astonishing what one can transport on the back of a bicycle. As long as the will is there.:D

    Had a go with it but only using it as a baking machine for an already self made dough. The recipe was actually for a microwave bread and i had to tweak it a little bit. Instead of sugar i used sweetener, aceto balsamico instead of normal vinegar and baking soda instead of yeast. ;)

    Just 50 minutes inclusive the first ten resting the dough and voila, a bread came out.

    There is still a lot to improve. But it’s fun and i love it. Friday is shopping time and then i’ll get not only yeast but these ready mixes from Aldi or Lidl as well. Next week my kitchen will be turned into a bakery. :D

    Sorry for the lousy pic. Just an old tablet with Android 4.

    A loaf with 375gr of flour plus the rest just fits my needs for two days, perfect.:D

    When you fearfully enter the toilets in work but it's in an acceptable state.

    When you go to the toilets in work in the morning and you are the one to turn on the lights.
    There's the risk of a nasty overnighter floater.
    But no risk of a warm toilet seat.

    The satisfaction of having nice clean paths after a good power hosing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,434 ✭✭✭northgirl


    The thought of my clean, tidy room when I eventually get home this evening. And my hot water bottle. #saddo

    We got my Mam an iPhone for Christmas and gave it to her yesterday so she could be working away at trying to use it. She hasn’t a notion what she’s at. I’m getting random messages all day of gobbeltygook. Latest was a voice note of her saying “Is it any wonder Steve Jobs is in an early grave”

    Watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly for the first time tonight.

    Love the pureness of it all. Iconic soundtrack, no help from computers, three timeless characters. Straight in to my top 5 favourites :)

    I wished I brought tea with me to Australia, everywhere I went it was awful!
    My brother and his girlfriend are “not really tea drinkers”, those are the scariest kinds of people.

    That I have stalwart neighbours and a local shop manager who went out of their way in bad weather y'day to "bring home the bacon" after something that should not have happened did...

    Some folk cause disasters; others set it all right and that is a huge huge comfort and "happy" ...

    My cats; the interaction between older and new...

    Happy times; happy and safe.

    I bought a toy mouse for my cat. As she's 18, it's the only hunting she can do. She goes crazy for about 10 minutes, throwing it up in the air, biting it, but then crashes out for two hours to recharge for the next round.

    That could sum up a lot of us. ;)
