Sunday fun


I love Sundays. It is the one day I get to do whatever I want to (well, almost...) Today I've tried out this wonderful bagel recipe shared by Monica over at Happy Zombie and let me tell you these bagels are delicious! I can only find frozen bagels here, and well, they are not very good to tell you the truth. I have tried a couple of bagel recipes, and this one is definitely the one I will be using from now on. Kristine and I had a lovely lunch with fresh from the oven bagels with cream cheese and a nice cup of tea.
I also baked bread today, which I usually do 2-3 times a week (just because we love homebaked bread) In between the baking, and getting around to the bookkeeping I really NEED to do for DH's shop, I've done a bit of stitching. This is block 6 in the "truly Scrumptios" quilt, which I was hoping to get done in time for the Norwegian Quilt assiciation's 20th anniversary weekend. I only have 4 weeks left, but after next Sunday I should have the nights off, free to do all the stitching and sewing I want to :-)
Have a great Sunday, we're taking the kids to the movies tonight to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks- should be fun!

  2. Your bread looks delicious! I'm tempted to go and put some in the breadmaker right now, but I think I'm out of yeast :(

  5. I saw that bagel recipe and was thinking I should give it a try. Although we have a couple of bagel shops close by that make fabulous "Montreal style" bagels. But I bet nice "hot from the oven" home made bagels would be better :)))
