We arrived at our little Villa on November 1st, but will not be leaving till the end of March. I know I know, life is tough for those who must spend the winter months up north with snow, sleet and the rains.The photo of the group of people is our winter family. A lovelier bunch of retirees you would never find anywhere, so it makes the long months at the beach fun.
No quilting this year, just knitting my socks and teaching a few others the little things I have learned over the years.
I don't know why it is but, here at the villa, I love to cook. I have started making artisan bread. Easiest recipe ever, but of course I had a few problems with the adjusting to Florida humidity etc.
I had to buy bread flour as the flour here does not have enough gluten to make the bread rise. I also place the dough in the oven with the oven light on to help it rise. This works wonders.
In Canada, my darling daughter makes the bread a couple of times a week, gives loaves to those that do little favours for her or just plain love her bread. I have given some of mine away, but not like her....we eat ours.
Happy to be back blogging after cleaning up the site and remembering my passwords. March 1st .
