      Sounds like a lot of effort. I bought one of these

      Panasonic SD-2500 WXC Automatic Breadmaker with Gluten Free Program: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

      which I highly recommend.

        The one from Hollywoods Book? Haha, we did too, as it happens! Very nice.

        Good advice on the book too; almost got the wife to believe it was real, almost. Eldest was straight onto me tho...

          Took little girl number 1 to a birthday party - will be the last one before she gets a coeliac diagnosis and we have to bring her food and tell her not to eat that or that or that.

          Sunday, continued building the monstrous tower slide. Am missing a bit and don't know what it's called: there is a long bolt which screws into a metal casing which is first hammered into the wood from the other side fixing to the wood using a kind of four fingered claw - the last casing is missing.

            After buying one of these years ago, I can only say get you hands dirty and make your own bread; very satisfying, very tasty and now I have sort of mastered sourdough, I am not too sure I could go back, for the depth of flavour in the bread now is unrepeatable from a shop.

              I don't know if it wouldn't just be another kitchen gadget to collect dust

              No this one was a Nigel Slater one, I suppose it's meant to be a bit idiot proof... But, for a first attempt, I was impressed with it

              Ah excellent, glad it was a hit.

                Do you make any gluten free stuff? We are a gluten free household, the bread at the supermarket is pretty expensive.
                Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

                  I like making bread by hand as well - and it's a good thing to do with my little girl.

                  But, looking at an imminent gluten free future, I can see a breadmaker on the horizon.

                    Good thanks.
                    Scored the equalising goal on friday night 5-a-side to ensure our team remained unbeaten for the evening.

                    Saturday was alright.

                    Sunday was excellent, took youngest to splash landings and had a great time. When we got back I had to pick eldest up from her exam and she smashed it. Really pleased and proud of all the hard work she has put in over the last 3 weeks.

                      I don't go near the kitchen. I just drift downstairs when I can smell the missus has made something for breakfast.
