Yuletide + New flatmate + Bread recipe
1) Guess who's got two thumbs and a first draft of her Yuletide story? ME. \o/ Ha, and I was worried about being able to write at all. I guess now I can work some more on my bonus Yuletide story.
2) We have a new flatmate! Or will have, anyway--one of my flatmates is moving out at New Year and we had to find someone new. It was pretty painless; we held a bunch of interviews and me and my remaining flatmate agreed at once about who we wanted to ask. She said yes, so that's settled. Also she has a cute dog.
3) Hmm, what else? Life is pretty much as usual. I have my standard bread baking in the oven; maybe I'll share the recipe:
Mix 2 deciliters of plain yoghurt with 12 deciliters of warm water, add salt and a little bit of yeast, and then 2 liters of coarsely ground rye flour. Put the bowl in a plastic bag and let it stand for 24-48 hours. This makes for a great fake sourdough! Then mix in fine wheat flour until the dough is firmer (but still almost loose enough to "flow" off the spoon). Butter and flour three rectangular bread pans and put the dough in. Let rise for an hour. Then bake in 200 degrees Celsius for 1 h 20 min. Remove from pans and wrap bread in towels immediately; let cool. Then put the bread in plastic bags and let it mature for a day before eating.
