A good weekend...

I made a sour dough loaf on Saturday.  I used a method of turning and flipping the dough in the bowl which I think resulted in a holier loaf.

Baking in the dutch oven...

It was a little stodgy but we ate it all over the weekend and it made delicious toast.
~
Yum!
~
Brianna has been home this weekend so I made pikelets...
~
~
She crocheted some amigurumi critters...
~
Tyrannosaurus...
~
Stegasaurus...
~
...and Triceratops...
~
My favourite - a pug! How cute is he?
~
~
There was speculation that the pug looked like a black faced suffolk sheep from this angle...I still say pug!

I made Butter Chicken last night and it was very good. Julie's recipes are easy to follow and so far totally delicious!
