bread report

Oh, it's good, it's good, it's good.

The kids have had two heels with margarine already. [1]

I had a turkey sandwich, and then two pieces with margarine and strawberry jam.

I need more strawberry jam. Sadly I'm fussy, and don't like the stuff with high fructose corn syrup, which means buying the Simply Fruit stuff. Which is in small jars and expensive. I wonder if the farmer's market place in Fort Worth has jam like that. I don't think I'm quite ready to learn how to put up my own, although I suppose it might come to that someday.

[1] Two heels, because the loaves only fit in my largest storage bag once you've taken off the heel and about 2 slices.)

Trust me: jellies / jams / preserves are WAAAY easier than canned veggies. You DON"T need the canning kettle AT ALL for these; just a pot big enough to cook X pounds of fruit + the appropriate amount of sugar in.

You can also look at this as an excuse to buy a dutch oven, if you don't already have one. I just took a look at mine: it's a heavy aluminum one by Club, with a black Teflon interior. It is large enough to use as a roaster for potroasts or whole chickens, as well as for stove-top cooking of large-batch things.
