On Sunday

 

No Knead Bread

It was another overcast and cool day on Sunday.  Cool enough that daughter put the heater on for a little bit.  I thought it would be an ideal day for a bit of baking.  So, I mixed up the dough for a loaf of no-knead bread and set it in front of the heater to rise.  I am still using the expired yeast, proofing it each time before I add the yeast to the flour mixture and it has been working quite well.  

While the dough rose, I mended a small hole on a pair of sweatpants, sewed on my hexagon quilt, and watched online videos.  I have misplaced my thimble, which is a bit annoying.  I hope to find it in the next couple of days.

I cleaned out one of the crisper drawers in the fridge and decided to make an apple pie to use up the three apples that were there, one of which was developing a bruised spot.  Daughter cut up the apples and added the sugar and spices to the apples, going a bit heavy on the cinnamon, while I prepared the crust.  Once the bread came out of the oven, I baked the apple pie:

Brunch was French toast with leftover breakfast sausages.  Dinner was freshly baked no-knead bread with the last of the chicken curry.  For dessert, we had apple pie:

A scoop of ice cream would have been delicious with it, but, I didn't have any ice cream in the freezer and I didn't feel like making any custard, either.  Maybe I'll make some custard on Monday.

After dinner, I ran the dishwasher and watered the indoor plants.  Daughter had watered the back garden earlier in the day.  

On Sunday, I was grateful for:

- Daughter watering the garden for me
- Water for the garden
- Homemade bread and apple pie
- Working appliances
-  A relaxed day

Sunday's joyful activities included sewing and baking.

Plans for Monday includes  some housework, meal planning for the week, taking the trash cans to the curb, and putting away laundry.
