Helping Mum make Olive bread.

Helping Mum make Olive bread., originally uploaded by [mummalu].

Yesterday I had no meal planned (as usual) and decided it was important for me to use what I already had available in the house. I ended up making a chorizo and chickpea stew with lots of tomatoes and veggies in it.

At about 3 o'clock I thought maybe we can eat this with a loaf of crusty bread, but I don't want to drive all the way to the shops just for one item. My bike tyre was flat, so we weren't going to do any riding either.

And then, I remembered, I know how to bake bread! It's been a few months since I have baked, but within a few hours we had a delightful olive and rosemary bread. Miss E had a great time helping Mummy knead the dough.

I was proud that I could switch my brain to remember that I can make things from scratch!
