It was a cold kitchen day.
So cold, the dough for the rolls and Ursula (mother) having been fed for bread had to prove/grow in the sun.
I knew it work and feeding mother to start another batch of something, two days in a row, was an experiment. In two ways. I'll come back to this.
It was marmalade (surprise!) on the agenda. Again. Along with carrot and ginger soup, vegan aioli (not in the pics) and starting bread. This, last, for a potential new product.
This is the snow at midday. As the marmalade and soup were doing their thing.
Having fed and warmed Ursula, she was ready to contribute two offspring.
To explain: my baker friend was here on Monday, just as I was about to cut the then most recent loaf for lunch. She tasted.
You should make these for the market.
So I did two.
Here they are, just out of the oven. At 6.45 this morning. Not (or too) good for a frosty Saturday morning before the market!
The smell of baked bread...on an empty stomach...
Both sold. One before it even hit my stall and had to be borrowed back for the photo shoot...ahem...
The experiment worked: feeding Mum and starting bread on a Friday to bake on Saturday morning before the market. Even though, technically, I am not awake...
So, next week, I shall do four and see how that goes.
And, again, this is a cheeky, late entry to @dswigle's #marketfriday initiative. Pop over and take a look.
Until next time, be well

- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
