My power stayed on and I was very thankful for that! R's power outage lasted for about 12 hours; she said the power was restored around 2:30 p.m. <br />Free is always a winner! I'm glad you were able to get your bag of potatoes; $2.49 isn't a bad price. Especially these days.<br />The bread turned out well. I think a fresher packet of yeast might have given a better rise, but, I was happy with the way it turned out. I've been enjoying a slice with cheese for breakfast, these past couple of days. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-43138190942690571272021-11-26T10:07:40.817-08:002021-11-26T10:07:40.817-08:00I hope you and your daughter had a nice Thanksgivi...I hope you and your daughter had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. <br /><br />And I hope your power stayed on. But you had plans to handle things if it got cut - it's always good to have a plan I think. How long was friend R's outage?<br />You and I were talking about the price of potatoes and you can't beat the price of the potatoes you grew from the eye of a potato you had.<br />Free is the winner!<br />I did get a 10lb bag on Monday for $2.49 - that was the best price I've seen in a while in my area. <br /><br />Your bread looks very good with the butter all melty on it. I do the oven light trick too when I make my pizza dough. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-22631329993138536052021-11-26T01:30:50.338-08:002021-11-26T01:30:50.338-08:00Thank you, Eileen.

I still have power, but, my friend R had a power cut. The winds also blew down my avocado plant, pot and all! My daughter helped me to set it upright again. I've made the cranberry sauce and will be cutting the apples for the apple pie we are planning to make in a bit. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-8898082198435228282021-11-25T14:42:19.614-08:002021-11-25T14:42:19.614-08:00Little potatoes are the best!

The bread tasted great!<br />Oh, yes, buttons were another thing that kept me and my daughter busy, when we were little! :)<br />The power stayed on for me, but, friend R called this morning to say she was without power. I offered to bring her to my house (all her appliances are electrical) so she can have a cup of tea and a hot meal, etc., but, she declined. I'll call her later to check on her. Thank you, again, for the Thanksgiving wishes. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-90874302329192439362021-11-25T12:47:24.728-08:002021-11-25T12:47:24.728-08:00That it was! :) I often end up with a couple of ...That it was! :) I often end up with a couple of sprouted potatoes when I buy a big bag of them.

We didn't celebrate Thanksgiving until we came to this country, but, I do like the idea of getting together to give thanks for all our blessings. <br /><br />Speaking of birthdays...Happy birthday to you! And your sister! Wish you the best of health and happiness on your special day and all the days to come.<br /><br />Yes, I will grow more potatoes, but, I should find bigger planters for them, I think. I have one more pot of potatoes to be harvested, probably next week. :) <br /><br />I enjoyed making the bread, even though, there was quite a bit of anxious watching of the dough to see if it rose enough! I'm glad that it looks like you are able to include bread in your diet, again; a bread maker might be a good idea! :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-87145833215392028072021-11-25T11:21:31.330-08:002021-11-25T11:21:31.330-08:00That was a good haul from one potato!

In England there is a lovely crop of what are called new potatoes and they are delish just boiled with a little bit of butter.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, although it seems to be getting more popular with some people. Our next big celebration, not counting birthdays, is Christmas.<br /><br />Well done on your potato harvest. Will you try growing them again next year? I was interested in your bread making efforts as I've been seriously thinking about making my own bread again. We always used to and is probably the reason why I started eating so much bread (because it was really yummy) but the bread maker died a death and, as I was caring for Ced at the time, we never bothered to replace it. I may buy one in the January sales now it looks like I'm okay to include bread in my diet again.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.com
