Drifting through life

85 grams a day. That's all you need.  What are we talking about? Walnuts. I like walnuts. I read an article in the weekend paper that stated walnuts would help to protect against heart disease and would also help to lower cholesterol. (I could use a little cholesterol lowering....) Nice. I like walnuts. (But they're a little on the expensive side...) Anyway, the article did state that all you need to consume is 85 grams a day. So I added them to my shopping list and off I went, swinging my little basket as I skipped down the road.......la de da de da.... Okay, okay, I carried my bag as I walked to the shops. I found the walnuts right where I'd expected them to be, but when I saw the cost I wondered if the little nuggets were sprinkled with gold dust. Really? That much? I bought them anyway. I figured at 85g a day, the bag would probably last me almost a week, so a fair enough price if they really would do what "they" claimed. I found my kitch...

Today I'm going to the dentist. Painful for me, not at all interesting for all of you out there. So I'll tell you about the last couple of days instead. Instore, we have a new range of breads.  Stone baked sour dough loaves, in a variety of shapes and flavours.  At the front of the store is a table with baskets of these loaves and a few covered trays with cut samples for people to try. I tried the fruit and walnut bread and liked it so much I bought a loaf on the way home. I ripped into it, then had to tape the label back together for the photo. It's a nice round little loaf, not too big, not too small. Well, maybe a bit too big, but I can freeze half. The crust is beautifully crunchy, crusty you might say, while the bread is soft and look at all those yummy walnuts. Slathered with real butter, (not that margarine you see on the side), this is a lovely snack with a cup of coffee. Further news from Adelaide.... we've gone back to winter weat...
