The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

My beans are going really well.
They're growing faster than we can eat them.

Well done. We only have 1 or 2 plants left alive

I use French bread flour
Wholemeal bread flour
small hand full of chopped nuts
very small hand full of sesame seeds
very small hand full of linseed seeds
very small hand full of nigella seeds
Plus the normal salt, sugar, oil, yeast, milk powder and water

Is that french bread flour
Or
Wholemeal
Or a mix of both ?

QUOTE="classic33,
Your sheep herders wagon. The wheels and axles, are they wood(wheel bearings) on steel axles. Or wood on wood?

They are metal. This was a very expensive trailer chassis, (not) 154 pounds 15 years ago. The guy who hemmed the tarp has a 20 footer with a wood chassis but it has metal bearings too. Since I plan on racing down highways at mad speeds of up to 60 mph its got to be metal . Trailers here that weigh less thhan 1000 lbs don't require brakes, and I'm guessing this one is > 600. Here's the bare chassis last October after being painted black. My old Toyota pickup with a cubic yard of wood chips in the bed pulled it up a 9 % grade easy peasy, but since it's brakeless (the trailer, not the truck) the descent was fairly slow.

My recipe states 4 cupfuls so I use two of French and two of wholemeal

That sounds like a BIIIGG loaf.
I use 2 cups for a 1 Lb or 3 for a 1 1/2 Lb.

I went for a spin but the roads were a bit crazy. Some really impatient tossers behind the wheel today. Time to stick to early mornings for weekend rides I think.

Since I’ve retired I’ve tried not to cycle at the weekends especially at this time of year.

You know the drop down menu on the internet when the range is 55 to 64? Well yesterday I was in that group.

Today I’m in the 65 and over. 😀😀

Yes it is a 2lb loaf

Yikes !!!
How long does that last you ??
French bread (to my knowledge) goes stale quite quickly.
I imagine the wholemeal helps it stay fresh.
