Bread & butter

For Lent, the boys and I have agreed to pray together every night and name something we are thankful for. I was thinking about it this morning, as I put the yeast, flour and other ingredients into the breadmaker and tonight, I'm going to say thank you for bread.



As I am on an exclusion diet, I make all our bread, so I am very thankful also for the breadmaker, which makes it considerably easier. Today, I also used the Kenwood mixer and made the butter in the photo, another job I would not enjoy having to do by hand. I don't usually make the butter, but the mummy board I read has been talking about it recently, so I thought I'd give it a go. I now also have buttermilk....scones call, or maybe soda bread.
