Oi. Blog. Right.

Welcome, gentle readers. Before I embark upon a potentially enthusiastic description of my bread-making endeavours, I must provide a disclaimer:

I FRIKKING HATE BLOGGING.

Ok. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, time to share my breadish thoughts.

I have looked up mortar. I came to the conclusion that I'd really rather not use it. But if I have to use it, lime mortar seems to be the way to go, since it is the medievalish type (rather than Portland mortar, which is a modern concrete mixture). However, I have no clue where to find said limey mortar.

Dry stone for the win.

Or fail.

Either way.

Possibly clay.

I should turn my blog posts into Dr. Seuss poems.

Um....yeah....

Let's see...I have also been in contact with a friend named Karos regarding the acquisition of barm. I'm still not entirely certain what barm is, but I gather it's some partly brewed beer by-product. Um...here's the wikipedia article... Apparently it's beer scum. Yup. I kinda figured as much.

Yummy, scummy beer bread!

*hrm*

Karos is in the middle of brewing some stuff but can start another batch. It shall be ready in a week. Not sure that's in time - but I think we could make practice yeast bread and then try the barm when we get it.

We have also gone to Lifestyles Market to get flour. Sadly, there was too much flour. We decided to try out some rye flour. I'm keen to try some barley flour too. Oddly, the recipe never clarifies what sort of flour to use. Yay experimentation!

Um...there was some rock collecting also. I'm not saying where we got the rocks. The fact that there are photos of us holding rocks on a beach is completely coincidental. We would never steal rocks from a public park. That would lead to erosion and....stuff.

I will say that we may have been slightly followed by a police car at one point during our innocent beach frolicking. Maybe.... but it could have been someone else being followed.

So here are some photos of us innocently having fun at a beach.

This stick was very resonant when we kicked it on the sidewalk. So we brought it with us. But then we abandoned it.

This is Krista playing with rocks in the ocean.

Krista has a rock! It's awesome!

There's a tiger digging in the sand for rocks. I think his name is Curtis.

Aww... Curtis gave Krista a rock.

Bare feet!

This is a dragon egg.

See? Krista's just skipping rocks! Completely innocent!

Also, standing on logs is innocent.

This was a cute kitty we saw at a bus stop.

Ok. I'm done. That's all the blogging for now.

Boogeyboogeyboogey!
