Pumpernickel Rye Bread - without the Rye?
I just can't stop baking bread!
There are so many wonderful variations of this super easy bread that I can't help but keep some going. Today I decided to make Pumpernickel Rye Bread, but you know what? I had no rye flour. That did not stop me. I put in all the ingredients it called for, just using the white flour instead of the rye and then I added in a tad extra molasses and a cup of bran. I plan to buy both rye and whole wheat flour next trip to the city.
Our diets are going well despite this. We ration our bread eating to a few slices a day. We give lots away. Its just fun to make.

The Moon over Osoyoos, BC
I thought I would share a few photos with you. This ones not mine. This was a photo taken by our friend Roger from his back yard. He has allowed me to share it with you. I know he lives a few miles out of town and must be higher up than us cuz the moon is very SMALL in our back yard. LOL! - great shot, Roger!
And Roger and Marie are my friends with the Alpacas. I took my friends Elaine and Jim up to meet them because they used to raise sheep and thought they might enjoy meeting these fleecy critters too.

I love the eyes - they are so huge and expressive!
Oh Bother! - Visitors AGAIN!Like she could care less if we stayed or went.
Friends with FOOD!
Its an entirely different story if you bring something edible along. These are my friends Jim and Elaine taking part in the chow line.
What a camera lens smells like...
I'm sure the critters think I'm strange with my lens stuck up to their snouts etc.
Is it real? The long necks of these guys are nice for hugging, but can appear to make some several-headed groups!
No-One checked with ME! This is the head lady, for I'm sure I've seen this look on a teacher I had once.
Marie and a friend.Marie and Roger have always been very gracious and accommodating to the friends I drag up to their place. If they charged, they could add a new wing onto the Alpaca's shelter, or give them some exotic premium food! Really, I can't thank you enough for all the times we've invaded your place.
And then SHE said...
I dunno, do you think Jim and this gal were having a good gossip? I thought I heard...
