This evening I may be eating some home-made Soda Bread.

Is it supposed to rise very much in the oven?

No idea!

Old Reliable has come back from Young's Cycles.

She was a 14-speed, with 14-28 on the rear. She's now a 16-speed, with 13-28.

She'll be getting a pannier rack , new Giant bags, and some new bar tape this weekend. And a nice new Charge Spoon.

I'm waiting for the fragrant MrsP down the pub. She's doing one of her bonkers commutes today.

Sorry, will get some at weekend, Malcolm ( the mum, don't ask!) has decided they need to be moved, so chaos has ensued

Mrs LL has let me down, was expecting message to say down pub, and she claims she is too crook to out.

The soda bread did not rise very much. It is very tasty, especially with butter.

I may try some later with butter and jam. Tis an easy peasy recipe, like the one that @threebikesmcginty used. The milk with added lemon juice "made" the buttermilk. I used Allinson's seed and whole grain bread flour.

How old am I? Today, I have ironed some sheets, made some sofa bread, and at 8pm I will be watching "Gardener's World".

Yes, I do have a rocking chair and two cats!

It will be noticed that I said "sofa bread", I think that is a good name for it, so I am not going to correct the error.

I have just seen the Foodster off for his FNTTC ,saufend.

He did return momentarily as he forgot his phone.

That is one show hall set up for tomorrow.

Now sat here with pizza and the rugby.

Been in A & E with my Good Lady since nine, hopefully nothing serious, I reckon by the time we get out I'll need a mortgage to pay for the parking.

Best wishes to your good lady Dave

Soda bread/ farls aren't the lightest of breads (not really dense either, a bit like a scone in texture perhaps) and is best eaten fresh!

With lots of butter...

Have you got a tartan blanket?

With lots of butter...

Soda farls, butter, bacon, egg, brown sauce. Served with a cold Guinness.

Ireland's gift to world cuisine.

I could ride 500 miles if I knew that was at the end of it.

I'd ride a lot less if I knew I could get it locally.
