One of the mysteries to be solved: not in the sewing room and the always elusive notion that seems to disappear moments before it is needed - this happened day before yesterday - one minute, it was in my hand and then I elected to screw in some extra hooks in my shelving supports - when I turned around, where did it go? I did find it eventually and then I put it back into storage until the next time.
Yesterday, I began the annual Christmas baking days: I made several jars of lemon curd; then I mixed up the date&walnut loaves = 3 regular loaves and 12 mini loaves (for gifting)....I admit that I nibbled the end off one of the mini loaves which left me with 11 for wrapping in foil for the freezer. I cut off 11 pieces of foil and began the wrapping, placed the minis to one side - left the kitchen for a nanosecond - returned to pack 11 mini loaves in a storage bag to find only *6* wrapped loaves and 1 nibbled one ......SO - WHO came into my kitchen last night and carried away 5 foil-wrapped date&walnut loaves?? They are still missing this morning ..... the cats had nothing to do with it - no molasses in the recipe ,otherwise I would check them for crumbs. jennellh
