Senior Cook
Hi. Been away cooking at a monastery for a week, feel out of touch. Exhausted too, didn't sleep much in the spongey, rolly single bed they provided.
But it was a good week, nevertheless. Challenging. People often show up unanounced with cooked food and want me to add it to the menu at last minute. I only lost my cool once.
Hubby was manning the fort here, with our two cats, and running back and forth with supplies when I needed him. Hence our larder at home got sadly neglected.
No bread for lunch....which brings me to our topic here. I just decided to make two Irish Soda breads, in regular loaf pans. In oven now...hope it turns out, used a combination of 3 dift recipes: (no sugar, don't like sugar in sandwich bread).
4 cups flour, half white half whole wheat
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cups sour milk (regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
