Long ago and far away. And unforgettable. July 2005

One of my favourite recipes in Bernard Clayton Jr's Complete Book of Breads is Oatmeal Sesame Bread. The crumb is delicious and moist, from the oatmeal, and great for sandwiches. So I decided to convert it to weights and to use a sourdough starter.
I wrote it up over at the other place: Sesame oatmeal bread

Rushing this out, a little, because tomorrow we hit the road and I know that if I leave, it won’t happen. So, possibly sketchy, but done.
Highlights of the month:
- A car, new to me, and the old one trashed; a shame, because the motor was perfectly fine. Just the rest of it was not.
- New barbecue too, inaugurated with a good steak, thanks to the Thermopen.
- Eat This Newsletter no longer on the site. It will go to Tw and FB each time, and that’s all. Apart from subscribers.
- First dinner out at friends. So pleasant.
- Determined to quit my Italian bank, eventually, and took the first steps to do so.
- Installed Unpaywall, not least because Sci-hub has been no good for me lately.
- Cultural Quickies to the Vatican Museums and the Galleria Nazionale dell’Arte Moderna.
- Gave a Zoom talk to Colorado Grain Chain’s home school stream.
- An evening on the beach, with dinner.

Work
Even more paid work this month than last, and it is too much. I need a break, and maybe to turn some stuff down. But there’s always that fear. What if they never ask me again?

Goals
Only four new posts in June, and a couple of older ones, both bread recipes that I noticed people were looking for.
Niggles
This remains unlooked at: It would be good to error check the script that pulls in the podcasts I’ve listened to. Why does it occasionally miss an episode when the data clearly show I listened to it?
Final remarks
Very ready for a rest.
