LOL<br /><br />I've got a battle going with my bread. I love onion bread and also garlic bread, but when I make the garlic bread, the loaf just doesn't rise much. I'm wondering why the garlic powder does this and not the onion powder ... that is the only difference in the bread ... <br /><br />Thank you for the Happy 4th of July wishes, we had a great day with family and friends.<br />Yvettemtnchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457636624663214696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-60717577386083017922010-07-05T23:40:32.851+10:002010-07-05T23:40:32.851+10:00I love your life!!!I love your life!!!Little Penpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374048900216199298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-68266594919771280452010-07-05T23:25:38.309+10:002010-07-05T23:25:38.309+10:00That sounds such a productive but calm weekend.

I enjoyed looking at your photos. Your laundry room area is one of th neatest I've seen....at least what I saw of it :) :)...with the laundry powder etc :)<br />OH, my favorite was the "chook highway" :) :) :) That was just too funny!!! I'm going to tell my dad about that one.<br />Hmm.. there's an apartment kitty that belongs to neighbor...but she roams outside quite a bit. In any case, this morning she was trying to get into our apartment AGAIN. She sensed that the door would open soon...which it did...we were leaving for church. She's been doing this now officially for 2 months as of today...two months from the day we moved into the apartment we're living in now :) :) it's too cute..<br /><br />Thanks for the glimpse into your life. Have a wonderful week.

As the lamb chops smell just the same as a leg of lamb....and I must say, taste just as good.....and at the moment feeding my children for with $8.00, sometimes $6.00 worth of chops is a lot better on my shopping bill than a $30.00 leg of lamb!!!!

I especially loved the chick highway picture! I've just taken the last jars of jam out of the canner. I started the morning with black & blueberry jam, & ended with peach almond jam. The peach jam got a bit scorched... first time that's happened. But I added a bit more sugar & almond extract, and my sweetie said it's fine.

I'm afraid I was a little more on the run. But we're making up for it this Sunday afternoon. After a short nap, I finished reading a Peter Mayle novel. In a little bit, I'll cut us a piece of cantaloupe. We'll enjoy it over a game of Upwords - one of our favorite word games. It's too hot to be outside.

We are on the path to simplicity right along with you and are happier than we've been in years. We are both 53 and always looking to learn the simple ways. Thank you so much from us here in the USA.

Shame about the bread though! <br /><br />I love reading about your pottering at home days. I've not been feeling well recently, and have drifted away from pottering around. Sometimes just reading about someone else making soap, washing curtains, baking bread is enough to jolt me back into action. <br /><br />Thanks, enjoy your week<br />xJenni @ NotReallyAFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699782031004116836noreply@blogger.com
