Crumpet Update
By the end of the batch they were starting to look good. Still not perfect, but I think I’m starting to get the idea. I’ll post more about them, but you can compare the picture to the other one I posted.
Ice and Crumpets (or English Muffins)
Yesterday evening it started snowing. Then it promptly turned into rain. So, it rained last night and a lot of the snow is now gone. The temperature is about 37 degrees right now. This also left the driveway as one big sheet of ice. The kiwi went out this morning to get the paper and …
Brrrrrr…. It’s Still Cold
It’s been almost a week since I posted about all that snow. As it has been for a lot of places lately, it’s been bloody cold here! I got my bread baked on Friday and then on Saturday I made dinner rolls but I forgot about them and they did the second proof for about …
And It’s Still Snowing

Apparently the supplier didn’t tell the Baker’s Catalogue folks that they were closed for inventory. So I am supposed to have it by Thursday. Grrr. I was also …
Ski Photos
I managed to upload a few photos from the ski trip today. I think I’m too tired to post anything meaningful about the trip but I believe we all had a great time. Mark and I stopped and picked up Kit and then headed toward the Idaho border where the Lookout Pass resort is located. …
Skiing!!!
We went skiing today. This was my second time skiing in Montana and my first time skiing in Idaho (the resort was on the Idaho/Montana border). Tired. There are pictures which will be posted later.
