Back to normal

[wiseheart]

... or what counts as normal in our house anyway.

- Make a food run because there isn't enough bread in the house - check.
- Buy too much bread/rolls/whatever because you've visited several shops and each one had something you couldn't resist - check.
- Buy completely unnecessary craft supplies because you can't resist pretty craft paper - check.
- Bake a cake because you've forgot about the quark you bought when it was on sale two weeks ago and now had to be used up - check.
- Call H. on the phone because you could wait for family to initiate contact till your funeral - check.
- Watch some crap telly and use up all the free time you could have put to much better use (like crafting or writing) - check.
- Fall asleep over the crossword puzzle after all this, only to be waked up by the ringing of the phone (a call for Mum from a lady friend) - check.

Other than that, I gave the self-repaired puncher a try and it dutifully cut out five perfect circles from the thick, mirror-surfaced cardboard without problems. Phew! Of course, had I managed to find the dratted cardboard yesterday, I could have spared me the whole misery with the puncher, but I had not. Despite digging up half the craft cupboard. But that's Murphy's Law for you.

I hear you on the quark because mum said I'll have to make Zupfkuchen at the weekend as she'd bought it on offer. Not sure I will because I can't eat it ...

This means there seem to be enough Backwaren in the house for the weekend :)

That's a shame! I'm more fortunate than you, then, as I'll definitely enjoy my Quarkkuchen tomorrow!

I foresee us stocking up on home-made Paniermehl, too. *g*

Sometimes crap telly is just what you need.

Glad the puncher is working.

Oh dear. Sounds like your mind decided to take a holiday. We all have days like that. At least you can freeze bread.

Too much bread in the house cries for making breadcrumbs...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Which we make regularly. I've just cut up some days-old sliced bread and laid it out to dry. It will be ready for grinding by Sunday.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I could, if our freezer wouldn't be full already. So, breadcrumbs it is.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

So am I. It's fairly new, I'd have been pissed off if I had to buy an even newer one. ;)

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

There's always the old standby for stale bread...bread and butter pudding.

It isn't something we do over here, although I did give it a try once. Perhaps I'll try it again one day.
