I've been in a bit of a lull lately. A self-imposed lull. I've been battling some thyroid-related health issues for some time now. At last, I have a diagnosis of the underlying cause, but treatment is yet to commence and to be honest, after all the other things I've tried, I'm not celebrating just yet. So, between the thyroid issue and having also copped adrenal fatigue (just for good … [Read more...]

But, as I say, "stick to your strengths." I just don't have the right touch for bread making. I can chuck a bread packet mix in the bread maker. No problems with that.
