Some news came my way about food shops, mixed news some were bad and others look better. Earlier closing time at my one giving the shelf fillers a extra two hours. Going out tomorrow for a good walk and keeping an eye on folk not to get near me.

No change there, then. Isn't it a great time to be British: everybody keeping right away from everybody else. Just how we like it

Eating toast, drinking a nice cuppa

and doing invoicing

Just been to the local supermarkets (Tesco and ASDA).

Ten minute wait at Tesco but well worth it as the shop is practically fully stocked and no waiting at ASDA and stocking levels also practically fully stocked.

Couldn't believe my eyes in ASDA to see the TP aisle probably fully stocked and some makes actually on special offer.

Very few people in as well which was a bonus.

Just get frozen ready-to-bake bread dough from your freezer section. Tastes fresh without all the cleanup bother.

Just before I ate all the wallpaper in this place in boredom, at least there will be a few hours of work a day now. In the nick of time indeed.

Good luck Martin

^ Yes, good luck Quatro

However if you have an oven, wheat, rye, chickpea or whatever flour and a bit of yeast it is very easy to bake bread, just did it yesterday.
Can post the recipe if wanted, though it is all over the 'net

Where do you get the yeast? Is it in those little yeast packs I see for sale?

Sounds messy to make though ... I like Aktungbby"s idea too I've seen that brand in the frozen section, but never purchased it, even thinking of a cheap bread machine.

Catfish · 04-01-20, 11:40 AM

^ @Quatro:
Yes, you can get yeast in those small packs, as dry yeast - here there are usually sold with three paper packages in one plastic pack, in every market.
You can also get fresh yeast (cooled, but not frozen) which comes in cube-like packages mostly in aluminium foil, works both w/o problem.
(edit: you need one package for one bread, dry or fresh)

You can store dry yeast longer, I just used a pack that had an expiry date of 2006, still works. You can store dry yeast almost forever if you keep it dry.

If you once make leaven/sourdough(?) you can store away 100 gramms or so in the fridge for one-two weeks, if you add this to fresh dough you need no other yeast anymore (you can make your own yeast with this).

A bit of oil, salt, sugar, maybe some seeds or crushed nuts for a special taste, but i assure you it already tastes very well just pure. Really spoils you for bought bread

Jim did they keep their distance?

In my post I went early on Tuesday and waiting outside people kept their distance but once in the store oh man it was a pain. Some stood near me or walked near by near me! Some of these joker's clearly had no interest keeping their distance! Only 20 to 30 odd people in the supermarket at that time, I fear to think what it would have been later in the day.

Jimbuna · 04-01-20, 01:54 PM

^Yeah, very similar, well spaced outside but not so much inside.

I've developed a strategy whereby anyone getting too close brings about a cough from me and they usually widen the distance straight away *cough*
