I've got just 5 minutes until apple bread! I'm re-trying the recipe from Wheat Belly. That's the one I messed up on and just threw away. I screwed up my measurements and then tried to adjust (BIG mistake!), so it never set up when I baked it. It was one gooey mess.
Funny what getting the measurements right can do! Looks like it will turn out the way it's supposed to, although whether it tastes like anything I'd want to bake again, is another question.
Our pool heater is in place, the gas line has been run and the inspector passed the installation late yesterday. Now, we're waiting on the gas utility to come and switch out our meter to a larger one. THEN, we'll finally be ready to fire it up.
But the weather has turned colder again, so any use of the heater would just be a waste of energy at this point.
(Checked the bread....another 5 minutes, maybe.)
It's colder (for us) and windy today, so if I do any walking, it will be sometime this afternoon. I can always do Stairmaster instead, although the doggies will put on their sad faces that they're not going for a walk.
I did a little happy dance yesterday as the tax forms went off to the preparer. YAY!!!!!!!!
WOE is on a tipping point today. My weight did not move as expected, so after a good week, this is always when I'm seriously tempted to eat larger portions, or foods that I know are OK for Maint. but not weight loss. The bread recipe is a case in point. I guess I'm looking for a reward for having a good week. I should know better by now.
(Checked the bread. Another 5 minutes??? Hope I don't regret this.)
The bread recipe, BTW, while wheat-free and lower in NCs, is still higher calorie. If I can cut 10 slices from the loaf-pan size loaf, EACH slice is 318 calories, and 5.6 NC. Being gluten-free according to the author, the bread is supposed to be rather crumbly, so cutting it might be a real adventure. We shall see.....
