THE BAKER GIRLS GET BUSY


Tracy and I have had a really busy day getting ready for our bread course in Oldmeldrum tomorrow.  We've been shopping for all the ingredients, including a few nice bottles of vino for lunch for our hard working bakers.  Then we went over to Beth's beautiful Steading kitchen where we hold our classes.  There is quite a bit of preparation in getting recipe books together, weighing out all the ingredients, setting the table and getting lunch organised.

Tracy made these lovely rolls to help people see the wow shapes you can make for rolls.  I've been baking ANZAC biscuits - in homage to our wonderful Aussie baker Kerrin who is back home now - we miss you but your recipes live on!


Right it's time for my roost as we've a hectic day tomorrow but I'm sure it will be fun.  We've lost track of how many courses we've done now ... But we certainly have met some wonderful people and had many laughs over the course of the day!

Sleep tight!

HOLIDAYS!


It's holiday time for Loaf Face ... Destination West Coast of Canada for my  nephew's wedding - staying with my big brother.  Oh boy, it's been 3 wonderful weeks of partying, skiing, snowboarding, wine-tasting in the Okanagan Valley - Canada's wine region, with a bit more Christmas & New Year partying thrown in for good measure!




The wonderful Mission Hill Winery ... Plus many more ...


A wee pub crawl to Doc Willoughby's - a mean margherita with a rack of beers for my dear man ...


Then a spot of cross country skiing to to blow the old cobwebs away ...


What a marvellous country this is ... How can you argue with this as your view?


Right time for one last hot tub before we leave tomorrow ... Bah humbug - good times have to end!
