How lovely that your own childhood had similarities with it - on the days I decide I will be unemployed in a year's time, I daydream about living that sort of life and it makes the prospect of being out of a job so much better (if still a bit unrealistic!) :-) I like the sound of this bread too, very much indeed.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-43349529606346467272013-09-18T14:21:21.126+10:002013-09-18T14:21:21.126+10:00That's a lovely story about how you grew up. ...That's a lovely story about how you grew up. My mother grew vegetables and we had a few fruit trees and a glass house full of grapes and cucumbers and capsicum and tomatoes but we weren't self-sufficient either. But it was lovely as a child to be able to get involved with gardening and watch things grow and then when ripe, bring into the kitchen xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-21884906854300734932013-09-18T07:50:43.175+10:002013-09-18T07:50:43.175+10:00Ah, the Good Life is another brilliant one!

But here I suppose you get the flavour but not the texture which I think is what I dislike.<br />I do love homemade nut cheeses though. coconutandberrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808077876445841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-27247575872532444942013-09-17T23:15:59.191+10:002013-09-17T23:15:59.191+10:00Drusilla yields a lot of fancy things! :D I've...Drusilla yields a lot of fancy things! :D I've been sitting on a bag of polenta for a while, which I snatched at an organic food offer at the supermarket. Actually I thought I wasn't fond of corn (I bought it in a fancy mood), but recently I've tried corn thins which taste good, and I also liked popcorn and cornflakes as a child, although I haven't eaten them in ages! I was thinking about making a corn bread ... Now the question is whether it will work without any wheat flour! :DKath (My Funny Little Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10295143356577259844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-67026512221745952652013-09-17T23:08:54.303+10:002013-09-17T23:08:54.303+10:00Hi Johanna!

What a blast from the past. I remember watching it with my parents in the 70s. I was happy to find that it's still really funny. We even saw the very first episode where Tom leaves his job - I'd never seen that before!
