Hi All - Last weekend I posted (or thought I had) a new topic. On reviewing this site I can find no trace thereof. I was probably in my usual ruch and pressed the wrong key. So here goes again: to all the lovely bread experts (I recall a new member signing in recently) a request: what is the...

This is what I often look like after a visit to a kitchen store and being tempted to buy a new gadget - which does not work! My youngest daughter recently set up home (on a small scale as a law student) and realised she loves food but never watched Mom in the kitchen. So now I'm writing what...
