Mmmm, bread.

When we still had a bread machine, I made a loaf for Tom almost every week. We got rid of it, though, for several reasons--the biggest one was that I couldn't use it for myself and it's kinda silly to keep it around for just one person. We have yet to replace it.

Last night, we baked bread for probably the first time since Ronan was born. It's very nice. I've made soda bread several times over the last year, but this is the first yeasted bread I've made in a good long while.

I used teff, quinoa, and brown rice flours. Almond meal. And a mix of potato and corn starch. We're on a pantry busting week due to low finances. After payday, I can buy more starch, since I'm now almost completely out of all of them and the little bit of cornstarch remaining is earmarked for the baby's butt.

Ooh, but that's a perfect line for when he's older. "You'd better appreciate all we sacrificed for you, young man! I remember when we didn't even have bread to eat because we needed the cornstarch for your ungrateful little butt!"

Oh, ha, that anon comment was me.

Teff makes me think of injera and yummy Ethiopian food. Mmm... the place on the Corner is good, but not as good as Empress Taytu in Cleveland, OH.

Mesob is closing--Just Curry is taking over their lease (which is excellent, as Just Curry is losing their space at the end of this month.

I never did eat at Mesob--they don't make their own injera and the stuff they buy contains wheat or barley flour, so I can't have it. I do miss good Ethiopian food.

I didn't know Mesob don't make they own injera. That makes me said in so many ways.

I've yet to eat at Just Curry, but I have heard many wonderful things. Must try it!

Mesob is moving, not closing, by the way.

I should call and ask if they still order their injera from elsewhere.
