The mystery in the pantry

As we were given lots of yummy cheese for Christmas I thought we'd have it for lunch/dinner today with bread and soup.

I found an interesting recipe for cheesy garlic bread and set about making it.

First problem: not enough bread flour. Hm, plain flour will probably work.

Second problem: need clear honey. I found a jar in the pantry of what I assumed was clear honey. Fortunately I tasted it before dolloping it in - which would have been my normal procedure so my spidy senses must have been tingling - and it wasn't honey. It's more jelly-like but I'm not sure what it is.

However set honey turns clear if you warm it. (Yes, I expect you all knew that anyway.)

I made the dough and stuck it in the airing cupboard to rise while I made the butternut soup - complete with chillies from my Christmas table decoration: beautiful and useful a bit like me. (Ha ha.)

Leaving the soup to cook I checked the bread recipe for oven temperature.

Third problem: I was supposed to roll it out and put it in a tin before leaving it to rise.

Oh well, it wasn't in the airing cupboard that long. Note to Self: read recipes properly, don't assume.

Anyway after all that lunch was delicious.

Except now I have eaten way too much.

And Husband ordered new weighing scales for us and he is going to start weighing again tomorrow. I want to leave it another week, until most of the goodies have been consumed. Maybe it's best to frighten myself now though.
