I make 4 loaves at a time and freeze 3 immediately. With only two of us I too often lose the last quarter of a loaf to mold. <br />As J. likes to point out, the longevity of the occasional store-bought loaf testifies to some less than wholesome ingredients.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-25984481588733229512011-12-11T11:01:11.551-08:002011-12-11T11:01:11.551-08:00You seem to be packing in a lot.

Though it would be expensive for me to put the oven on too often. <br /><br />We have a bread maker and K makes an occasional loaf for me. Over the holidays there will be fresh bread.MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-51734240573834631292011-12-11T03:48:17.637-08:002011-12-11T03:48:17.637-08:00I'm so glad Tippy is recovering,I've never...I'm so glad Tippy is recovering,I've never encountered this particular problem with my cats over the forty odd years I've been a cat owner.At times in the past I had as many as eleven,but now just have three plus three dogs and twelve chickens !!Rosemary UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736660949097379171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-72331914273165233252011-12-10T10:34:04.264-08:002011-12-10T10:34:04.264-08:00Glad your kitty is getting better, it's so har...Glad your kitty is getting better, it's so hard when one of the family is ill.

Its worrying when the animals are unwell. Here's hoping he will make a full recovery and keep away from rats. <br /><br />Your cheese bread looks delicious. Anything home made is made from the heart - made with love - is Artisan bread and there is no comparison with the bought stuff. <br /><br />Just look after yourself and I hope you get your needlework completed (can you take photos and post them after they have been given to the recipient so the surprise is not spoilt)<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-24201792505936597402011-12-09T23:08:20.618-08:002011-12-09T23:08:20.618-08:00Terra - well it TASTES darn good, but whether mine...Terra - well it TASTES darn good, but whether mine would stand comparison with ARTISAN bread is another matter! Bread-making isn't that difficult - if yeast bothers you, make Irish Soda bread, which just mixes together and relies on the soda to raise it.<br /><br />Denim - I am sorry if I have distressed you. I remember your sweet little kitty and how hard to worked to try and save it. Sorry to make you relive it all. He is hopefully on the mend now, though still pretty constipated and the litter tray has some "sausage bricks" in it this morning! But he's tucking in to breakfast and had his Metacam without too much of a struggle.<br /><br />DW - I think I have always been programmed to be a carer, and Tam, it would seem, is exactly the same (she used to look after J like he was about 5 years old!!!)

I had issues with the sweet little kitten I lost last year to blockages, but she was deformed but still this has given me nightmares about this and I know exactly what you are going through. My cats RUN when they see mom running around the house putting out the radar for someone to doctor, I even get a hiss or two. <br />I hope that your little man doesn't eat any more rats, good grief, I know I sure wouldn't.denimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-29381112605015482022011-12-09T14:50:33.227-08:002011-12-09T14:50:33.227-08:00That cheese loaf looks delicious!

From what the vet said, Tippy ate a really big rat - there were whole rat bones being voided.<br /><br />Had he eaten any cooked bones, they are most likely to have come from neighbour's rubbish sacks, which are put out early to make sure the bin men collect them. Birds (corvids) always attack the bags and go through them for anything edible and foxes too of course. Cats are the "followers". <br /><br />I am hopeful that the fact that the vet definitely identified WHOLE rat leg bones means that he has just been a REALLY greedy little cat . . . and hopefully has learned his lesson.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the cream and egg is a BIG HIT with him! And the others, come to that.

Cats and dogs can digest raw bone and in fact it should form part of a healthy diet, they cannot digest cooked bone, hence it becomes a time-bomb of little knives that cause blockage and internal bleeding.<br /><br />I would have made this comment privately but don't see any way of doing so, please feel free to delete my comment as soon as you've read it, too much information for certain types if you get my drift.Susan@minicrochetmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13809610464829120178noreply@blogger.com
