What did you do in the garden today?

Just pulled the first harvest of the fall peas, about a pound and a quarter shelled. Not overwhelming but a good start with more to come.

I am allergic to cocoa butter since I was a little kid and now can't even eat white chocolate, and ladybugs that's all.

Can't eat ladybugs - that's a good thing, right?

I baked 2 loaves of bread from purchased frozen dough. I have temporarily given up on from scratch. I can not make a descent loaf. Always heavy.

I have a good Amish recipe that I've used for quite sometime. It has never failed me.

Too much kneading?

I can't bake bread with the city water, it has chlorine in it, which stunts the yeast.
Certain times of year, up here at the ranch, I struggle too. Well water changes during the seasons, fall and early spring are high in minerals that the yeast don't appreciate.
